Title: a good reason to pack in c/c
Post by: gwrightson on November 25, 2010, 03:21:04 pm

just got back in from quoting, and during one conversation  at a quote , I asked have you had the carpets cleaned before ?

well her reply amused me.

oh yes , she said but he has had to pack the carpet cleaning in because his machine broke down and couldnt afford to get it fixed.
makes you wonder !!!!!!
know any more good reasons, apart from the obvious.?

I once quoted £60 for a job and the lady said "My, that's expensive, my other carpet cleaner only charged £30!"
"Well, why don't you get him to do it this time?" I asked...
"He went out of business..." ::)

I think we all probably know why!!!

I stuck to my guns, and she's now a regular ;)

I here that all the time. I do think sometimes it's just a awkward custy that they are trying to brush off on to someone else.

I had a good one the other day. Living room, dining room, hall, stairs, top landing. £120, she nearly fell down the stairs. The last guy did it for £40 and protected it. I nearly fell down the stairs. It looks good for a couple of days then goes dirty she told me. The carpet did feel mated. I rinsed a small area, and no she`s booked in. ;D
