The Ten O’Clock Test

The ten o'clock test

What your evenings are actually costing you

Quoting at ten at night is not dedication. It is a staffing problem. This works out what those hours cost you in a year, and what it would cost to hand them to someone else. Four questions, no email needed to see your number.

Estimating, quoting, chasing suppliers, fixing what came back wrong. The evening and weekend work.

Selling, pricing a big job, keeping a client. Your guess is fine.

Wage plus burden. An estimator or office coordinator in Alberta usually lands $28 to $45.

Fill in all four boxes to see your result.

What this means

Want the full breakdown and the one-page plan for handing the first task over? I will send it, and it includes the job description for the seat you would be hiring.

Name, email and phone please.

Your numbers stay yours. I use them to make the breakdown specific rather than generic, and I will call once to talk it through. No list, no drip, no newsletter.

On its way

Thanks, that is on its way.

Check your inbox in the next few minutes. If it has not arrived, look in spam and mark it safe so the rest gets through.

If you would rather just talk it through, book a time that suits you and we will go over your number together.
