Since they know that’s your rate, if you offer them another hour for half off, they know you aren’t blowing smoke.
If you get hired for two hours and they don’t ask for a third, why not offer the third hour for half off? You can tell them the truth, that most of the work is in getting ready and getting to the job.
You’re already there so it’s easy to do another hour of magic.
Once you’ve done your allotted time and it becomes obvious they’re ready to pay and have no intention of hiring you for more time, go ahead and throw out the extra hour for half off.
At the end of the first job, one of the managers asked for one hour of overtime.
That’s what happened in the real world and here’s the real email Simon sent me that made me the extra cash: When it comes to overtime, if you get 3 full price hours then… Cool! But after that 3rd full price hour, offer the half price hour for being such good customers… Of course something you would NEVER normally do.
Think about it… 5 hours from the moment you get in the shower to get ready for work until the moment you get home and toke up.
750. $750 / 5 hours = $150 an hour You work 1 extra hour at half rate.
So it is 6 hours from the moment you get in the shower to get ready for work until the moment you get home and toke up.
Would you rather get a job working 5 hours at $150 an hour, OR 2.
Would you rather get a job working 6 hours at $187.50 an hour? Duh.
If you could get a 3rd hour watch what happens: You work 2 extra hours at half rate.
So it is 7 hours from the moment you get in the shower to get ready for work until the moment you get home and toke up.
Would you rather get a job working 6 hours at $187.50 an hour? OR 3.
Would you rather get a job working 7 hours at $214.28 an hour? Duh.
Even if you gave them QUARTER PRICE on the 3rd hour, watch what happens: You work 2 extra hours one at half off, then one at half of half-off.
Would you rather get a job working 7 hours at $214.28 an hour? OR 4.
Would you rather get a job working 7 hours at $187.50 an hour? Let’s look at the cold hard cash: 1.
After the second hour, offer an additional hour at HALF PRICE 5.
Offer the third hour at HALF OF HALF PRICE. If you follow this algorithm on all of your shows, you will make a lot more money.
