Title: The guy who let me have all he's old customers
Post by: roundbuilder on April 08, 2013, 04:14:05 pm
I converted over 130 of his customers charging £10 fronts and a load of £15-20 f+b.
All in all a great run of work just under 2k.
I went to his house this morning with an envelope with a grand in it to say thank you but he would not take it for the life of him he said he was simply happy to see that he's old customers are in good hands and asked if i could do his house each time i visit, he even asked me how much to do hes house bless him, i said ill do it for free each month to which he finally accepted. What a nice guy, not many of these about nowdays.

You would be surprised how generous some people are. I have been putting a leaflet on the back of my calling cards asking my customers to sponsor me running the London marathon later this month in memory of my late son. I have raised nearly £2000 since Christmas. I have only given the leaflets to maybe 200 of my customers so far. There are more good people than you think.
