Title: Summer Squad
Post by: MNWC on January 19, 2012, 09:32:53 pm
Watch out lads summer squads out.

had two customers hand me two different  leaflets today.

One was window cleaner and general builder !

The other had the price scribbled on and was 40 % less than my price !

Neither of them bothered to changeover.......

There's a lot popped up in my town over last few months - builders etc.. With little/no work
Sign of the times - just hope they don't take the p*ss too much

What do you mean the old days? Do you think window cleaning has become more popular as such?

Thats my policy.

If they change over to another firm because of price.

When they realise that the other firm are crap and want us back i get a lovely warm feeling inside.

and then say NO, FULL UP !  ;D
