I'm going to start charging a cancellation fee three jobs this week have waited till I have turned up to do the job then cancel two the decorators had not finished one the son bought her a new carpet but none had thought to ring me

[Dynafoam]

Steve,

Legally you are entitled to charge the full amount !
( Discharge of contract - Specific performance)

However it is probably better, to include in your terms & conditions a cancellation fee if they fail to give, say, 48 hours notice.

Better still, take the longer view. by all means make them aware that it has an effect on your livelyhood so that they feel some guilt but be gratious about it - be the nice man that they let down but will be the one they call next time require a carpet cleaned.

John.

I knew you would be busy Glynn, and glad to hear it. How about your neighbour. You know who I mean - Big van, Big machine, Low price.
All the best.
Dave.

[Glynn]

not made any difference at all, but then again like yourself, I have been around for ever, in fact we were the first in the area and the type of clients that use our services would not entrust someone with those type pf low prices. Why on earth some people want to pay only £30 or so to have cleaned a carpet maybe costing upwards of a K or in a lot of cases several K is beyond me, so no Dave in a different league.

Regards

Residentials are going into April as we speak...Well not right now...It is night here but come day time...Yes...

Because of the way I book in people/ customers I have approx. 25% booked in for next Nov and Dec, not on direct debit but just a simple rebook and follow up call a month before.

[ALEXDH]

Is it sensible to say that things are not too bad at the moment for CC's.

I have been of the impression that jan - feb were the slow months ?

The reason i ask the same question again is as i am new would you say it's probably not a good time for me to be too critical on low calls from some marketing or is it that the ones i get a response from are performing well.

A tricky question really but your opinions are always welcomed my friends.

Alex

[Mike Halliday]

Alex I don't think you can judge your marketing on the responce you get in Jan

I'm just about to send out a special offer postcard  to all my customers for bookings in January to bring in some extra work, although so far Jan is looking pretty good.

What you need are some really good marketing books to give you some Ideas,....... has anyone got any for sale?
