how Many?

[touhey33]

IM sure this has been asked and talked about many times, but how many machines do you full timers have.  How many Machines are managable for one person before having to hire someone?

This has been asked a few times but it's a great question. Here's a link to the 'Polling Place'. It will show you the averages on the number of machines people have.

As far as your question about how many can you handle before needing help. You will know when you get to that point when it happens. There are so many things that have to be taken into consideration before answering that question.

1. How close are the accounts.

2. How much time do you have to service accounts. (Is this your only business/job?)

3. Are you making enough profit in the accounts that you have to hire someone?

4. How much do you want to make? Do you want to share your profits with an employee?

5. Can you find someone that cares enough about your business?

This is just a short list of the things you will have to consider, when you get to that point.

I service 400 heads and 4 crane machines per month without any problem. I could do another 400 & 4.

Hope this helps.
