Title: customers perception of wfp
Post by: keyser soze on March 13, 2012, 02:46:07 pm

with the recent news of a hose pipe ban etc . and i think im right  that at the moment its not gonna effect us windys but the worry for me is the custys thinking that we shouldn't be doing wfp at the moment .could have bad effect on business.

If it was me, I'd be offering to 'accidentally' water the plants in their garden when you've finished - that might win 'em over!

In the past when we've had hose pipe bans some customers have commented, not in a negative way, more curious... I just tell them my use is business use so I'm not effected... That seems to do the trick.

I ended dumping someone over this a few years ago.  She did deserve it though because she had a go at me and wasn't prepared to listen to the answer.

something I'm worried about. if things get that bad will trad the downstairs (takes a lot longer tho).

practicing my lines so have good, valid answers if challenged. like safety, pay for water, a third of what everyone in country uses is wasted in leaks, etc.

time for the splash and dash merchants who like to have the water
spraying two foot out of brush to learn how to wfp with 1 litre of water a minute
or less,far to many waste water hosepipe ban or not.

But you aren't using a hosepipe from the mains so therefore wfp isn't affected
