Title: advice please
Post by: DanC on August 19, 2010, 06:44:10 pm
I just called a customer to let them know I would be down Saturday morning to clean thier windows (about a 2 hour job) only to be told it's not convenient becuase they have a sleep in on a Saturday.  What would your response be to that please??

thats one of the down sides to phoning ahead - get crappy excuses!

Well I though that but then I started to wonder if I'm maybe being unreasonable.  It's a big job and I have atight schedule on Saturday.

can't you swap and do them at 12 noon and if they don't agree then they are just making excuses

Yeah I probably could, he just caught be off guard I guess, it's the first time it's happened. 

I've had people say they are out etc but that's fine, not a problem, as long as I have access to the property.
