Title: Unlucky then so lucky
Post by: P @ F on April 30, 2009, 05:08:47 pm
Was doing one of my commercials the other day , just had the wierdest feeling that when i went in to invoice i was going to be asked to change to a 2 weekly instead of a weekly , and it went that way , how freaky !
I said ok but if the job takes longer as a result i will be charging more , this was agreed .
As i walked to the van i was in a bit of a huff , to say the least .

As i got near the van i saw this chap , suited and booted , waiting for me , he asked me if it was my firm , i said yes , he continued to say that he had some office windows that needed a clean , in my current mood my reply was going to be , yeh i bet there on the 4th floor , theres only 3 of them and you want them done for F. all !
He then give me his card and says there is some other glass that will need a look at too !
Lucky for me i did not get the comment out before i read his card !
The job is already in the bag , and whats more , he told me to up the quote a bit !

Rich P @ F     
Do you have this job, or did he say this just because he wants you to quote so he can use a guy he likes ???

Had this happen just last week, have heard nothing since  ::)

Not trying to but a dampener on it but just thought I would add it to keep the post real

The bad news is that they expect the inside glass on the aquarium cleaned as part of the price, and the sharks ate the last cleaner  ;D ;D ;D
