Where are you from.
Ok I have managed a company for 4 years and now stepped down to do sales work for my current company. Yes companies here in San Diego UNDERBID like a SOB!!! As a matter of a fact that is why I get so fusterated. HOWEVER, I get intell on local companies such as sites, prices, and so on. If I am underbid at $13.00 hour I attack that companies contracts. Usually when I am through I walk away with 3 to 5 contracts when I am done. Our company charges $18-$23 hour on average depending on the work, location, and request for equipment. Our patrol service is a flat rate of $700 month, and for an off Duty cop we are really high. However what I have been experiencing is walking into a managers office and having them tell me about how ****ty there guard service is and about how they cant stand them. When we then talk about price, and they see ours is $5.00 hr more, I explain why there current service is so bad.
As far as employees go, I have two owners I must satisfy. One is great business wise, the other forgets things constantly and allows "office drama".. Yet another reason why I stepped down. It happens everywhere, theres nothing you can do about it. My last employer was verbally abusive and felt he was gods gift to security. I watched that company at its best spiral straight down because of his ego. Owners are owners. I have found most of them were terminated from there last job and opened there own company to run it "there way!" which is fine, but they need to remember how they were treated and not treat others like this.
