Title: 1 week.... 116 enquires
Post by: gwrightson on February 12, 2008, 04:49:53 pm
 Yes !! ;D 

last week alone I had 116 enquires , all wanting carpets or upholstery cleaning, and if I m honest that is the best buisness I have had, potentialy, since starting c/c .
I should be  delirious , shouldnt I / All that amoutnt of work coming in over a week  ;D

well, err no actually I am not ;)











yes you proberley guessed,   

i had yell.com on the phone for 10 mins earlier today and 116 custy,s were looking specificaly for me, yes me, and all in my local parish, which has a population of around 4,500.
either she has not realised the size of the area and fiqures she was giving me , or she was an exceptional liar ;).
anyway i did let her rabble on for at least 10 mins, throwing hurdles in the way, but her replies were good ;) and i must admit i did give her the impression i was interested.
untill , i said thankyou very much , but your wasting your time.

It must be coming into the season i've had them about 6 times in the last couple of weeks.

Your generous giving them so much of your time, they get less than 10 seconds with me

They will be very happy to be paid per enquiry then. ;)

Just 116 enquiries?

I'd have thought they'd have gone the whole hog and claimed 118 enquiries ;)

Safe and happy cleaning :)

Got to defend yell.com, had three jobs from our advert with them this past few days which has amounted to nearly £1000 of work, all commercial.
