How much do you gross a year in sales

this post will probably be removed, but hey I was bored and curious.

I gross about 350k a year

2 dolla



holla

350,001.00 HA!

gimme yo money sucka

A better question is what do you net.


..and yeah..the thread wont last

I net about 85K. That's why I work when I want to and tell me to f-off and go home and play by myself. I also like to write off gas and tools and equipment. Those are my play toys

One BILLIIIONNN DOLLAAASSS!!!!

HOLLA Y'ALL!!!!!!























I SAY NONOHYODAYUMMMBIZINEZZZ!!!!!!!!

I'm quite content with what I make with my little shop at home with little overhead ..that's why I never changed my business formula over all these years

Gross is around $2mil, depending on the year

Dayum!

Must hot in that there New Mexico

We do tint and auto glass and have 5 locations in two cities.

I should expand to surrounding areas, but have no idea how to pull it off successfully

Do like the a'holes around here do. Create your own competition by owning a good shop and a bad one that way you can ruin the whole phukin market from both ends.

Daumn

I had thought of that !

My hired newbie tinter can run the new hack shop I'd own with him working it, I can run my usual business fixing all the work that the cheap customers wasted at my other shop

$500,000 with my Lawn Mowing Business.

enough to survive

I friend of mine got into that and 7 yrs later he quit the tinting all together and now makes at least 10X what he did tinting!

They are a dime a dozen around here, and all of them must be pulling in some serious cash. You ought to see these guys with their rigs riding around this town, lawn tractors alone worth a pretty penny, not to mention all the people working for them.

It's more landscaping he's into..but basically , he knew nothing about th business, he phoned 20 companys to come and give him an estimate on taking care of his property...all 20 companies said they would go see him and give him an estimate..out of those 20 companies, only 2 guys actually showed up.


The way he figured it , as long as he actually SHOWED up when called..he'd instantly be in business

That seems to be the way it is around here with graphic shops. I dont do signs and such, but I get calls almost everyday, asking me for help with this because they cant get any sign shops to even return the phone call. Must be nice to be that busy. I always return calls, even if I have to schedule them out for weeks at a time. I think its bad business not to at least return the call.

You mean you guys actually make a profit?

-mine is strictly for tax write off purposes

about a million in just tinting (we do better when it's raining here hmmmmm).............................................. if I have to do it over, i'm sticking in my garage at home! Less hassle and great money, no paying everone in the world. My day is taken up putting out fires! of course I like talking about tinting more than tinting!! heeeee heee The guys working for me say those who can't tint - teach..........................

LONGHORN as a whole grosses in the millions. Just the tinting part of this place with me doing it only, grosses way over 100K-150K easily.

we only have 28 people working here

In all reality it does not matter what the gross is. It is the net that I am chasing after.

You could have a million dollar company. But if it costs you $999,999 to get there, what difference did it make?

words of the wise!

the bigger you get the more money goes down the drain everywhere!!!

I guess I'd better shut the .... up. Shows what I know.

I'll bet the IRS would love to get a gander at this thread...
We can't discuss prices, but you guys can set around and brag about what you make....

That's why I still say, ain'tnonanobodysgodambiziness....
But maybe that's just me......

Yeah, no doubt.

I looked at my profit last year and said, "WTF did I spend all that time working for?"

I think I would of had more money had I just sat around not doing anything.

This year so far it will look like I worked minimal wage at McDonald's for about 2 months. Once again, WTF am I doing?

Whatever anyone made, it wasnt enough for putting sticky stuff on glass with surgical precision

that a funny one sl*t........

funny but true.....

WE ALL NEED TO RAISE OUR PRICES!!!!

keep it legal....but WE ALL NEED TO RAISE OUR PRICES!!!!

cough, cough, buushit, cough, cough...

I gross $50 a year after expenses ..I do it because I LOVE it

you should see the //Man's new shop

if all 3 locations are that strong he does more than that

Thats what I was thinking. But I also thought he was up to 5 shops.
Remind yourself its gross and he does alot more things than tint.
I bet its well over 2 mill

Not really. "5" one man shops that are busy could gross a million combined in a year on just auto. You throw 3 tinters into each of those 5 shops, and they are spanking their pud more than tinting and could still be making 2+mil a year gross combined.

But what I make is my biz and mine alone. Gross numbers are crap with high overhead costs. A dude pulling down 125k gross out of his garage could be living large while another bringing in a mil a year is starving this time of year because his overhead is killing him.

Big numbers are crap if they are before cost.

That's why I've always been happy with a shop out of home paid for

According to the IRS I did not make a profit last year.

i usually average about $40,000 in my pocket, part time. i was thinking about moving out to the panama florida area...anyone know about some tint shops lookin for a tinter and how much work they got?

tintnfool has it right.its all about net net.in your pocket COLD HARD CASH!!!
i wont say cause of the fact that i just wrote on another topic that i do 10-14 cars a day and noone seems to belive me.so............ god bless may we all make billions

td..end this topic

im, still waiting for my paycheck since i took over the primary family business

What you are doing is working without your brain in gear. A common fault that just about every tinter I have ever known suffers from.

Lift your prices, don't put so much importance on how many a day but how much profit you can make with half the effort.
You've got your nose to the ground and the shoulder to the wheel but you are not directional.

Let me come over and I'll have you straightened in a month.
Devil

The main problem is over stocking my inventory. I did more flat this year, which means ordering in a whole roll for like 2 windows.

But on the bright side, next year should be super high NET because I got enough film to cover this state! =)

I think I need to order one 36" roll of 40% and I'll be stocked until June or so. =)

It's alright, I have a day job to actually make some money at.

You make a valid point Rob. You and I have discussed this many times.

Need to ask yourself, why are you doing this? Since this thread is based on money, then the answer is to make money.

Don't let the manufacturers, distributors, or reps talk you into the idea of more squares purchased means more money on your end.

You have five years to get a business going. The first three years are your make it or break it. I am going on two years for my part time company and I buy everything I can get before uncle sam takes his share. I bought a plotter for $5000 a few months ago, if I hadn't that money would be taxed. I make sure I start spending towards the end of the year to get what I will need and the less I have in my account the less taxes I pay.

Darkdan...you should get partial rolls if you don't need a whole roll I order film when a customer is sure they want it, I don't have the room to stock film and with so many different choices, it would cost a fortune to stock all of them.
