Back in the day, I jumped on a particular client where I could grab 30-35 of their locations with maxed out bonuses and complete them over a weekend. I did this for a while until the scheduler’s manager put it to a halt lol. This lasted throughout 2014.
Then there were more for a different client for a different MSC and client and racked up around the same amount in terms of quantity and negotiated bonus amounts. Total pay and hourly rate I managed to produce was nearly the same as the above. Those lasted for a while as well throughout 2015-2016.
Then recently, I found an amazing money maker for 2017 for a temporary project for around 25-30 location within the span of 2 days, plus $5 reimbursements per location. Good times.
Sometimes repetitive is a good thing to maximize your hourly rate. Whenever a great bundle of projects comes around, I’ll find it and squeeze it like hell.
To answer the question, usually the shops where I’m able to negotiate a higher fee (unless the base fee is appropriate which sometimes DOES happen) where I can grab a large quantity where I can get myself in a groove through repetiveness are my money makers. I don’t stress that much when the work dries up or the project’s temporary, as I’m sure I can find other work and my work in this industry is secondary/optional anyways.
