🎙️ Episode 14: The High-Ticket Mindset — Simplify, Elevate, Profit (MAKE MORE $$$ - LESS WORK)

Hosted by Andrew & Ercan | Suds to Success Podcast

In Episode 14 of Suds to Success, Andrew and Ercan dive deep into what it really takes to run a high-ticket detailing business — without burning out.

Too many detailers are stuck grinding through $100 jobs, chasing volume, and competing with the cheapest guy in town. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to do four $100 details when you can do one for $400. That’s the high-ticket mindset. This episode is all about helping you simplify your services, elevate your value, and ultimately, profit more while working less.

What We Cover in This Episode:

✅ Setting Up Smart Services:

Andrew breaks down why offering one complete interior package (instead of “quick vacuums” or “just the seats”) makes your life easier, your business more profitable, and your brand more respected. Don’t let your menu confuse customers or dilute your value.

✅ Saying No to Cheap Work:

Not every customer is a good customer. If someone’s only willing to pay $50 for a detail, let them go. Andrew and Ercan talk about “fix-it jobs,” why they’re always trouble, and how eliminating them leads to less stress and more income.

✅ The Power of Deposits:

Ercan recently implemented a 20% deposit across all his services — even wash and wax. The result? Fewer no-shows, more reliable clients, and a real sense of commitment from customers. He shares how to communicate this without losing business.

✅ Online Booking & Automation:

Andrew unveils his system for quotes, follow-ups, and booking — and it’s basically a masterclass in automation. From pre-written proposals to personalized videos and text follow-ups, you’ll hear exactly how he uses tech to close more jobs and impress clients.

✅ Don’t Compete with McDonald’s If You’re the Keg:

You’re a premium service. Price yourself like it. Andrew shares a powerful analogy (and a hilarious story about Ercan driving away in shame) to drive home the point: high-value customers aren’t price-shopping — they’re looking for excellence.

✅ Business Boundaries = Peace of Mind:

From refusing to work on Sundays to creating cancellation policies, the guys stress how boundaries create better service and a healthier work-life balance — for you and your team.

This episode is a must-listen if you’re serious about raising your prices, tightening your systems, and building a business that runs smoother and pays better. It’s not just about charging more — it’s about providing real value, staying professional, and building a brand customers trust.
