"that was quick?"

one of my custy's comments today.

don't know if he thought i was not doing a proper job.

£15 20-25 mins wfp, i were'nt rushing.

always the custy's in the £500,000 houses worried there w/c is earning too much, like everyone,
I had a real fininancial good hiding due to recent weather.

anyone got any good polite, one liners ;)

You'd be quick if you had cleaned as many windows as I have.

After a while my reply was
"Yes.  I'm getting pretty good at this"

i get alot - just say to them if you do anything for 8 hours a day you would be good at it!

and with doing them wfp just shows how well you clean them and that the system works.

"It's all part of our service, I've found that customers prefer it when we are around their homes for as little a time as possible."  It at least makes them think.

I would say thats not quick, I could show you quick but I would make mistakes, the system allows us to work a little quicker, which is a good job as I had to pay near on twenty grand to clean your windows , when on ladders it cost me £200 but was a lot slower.... I then  let them work it out  ;D

  I use a couple of one liners for these situations,

 If it is a bloke or fat/ugly woman, I just say "Yes, it was, are you impressed?"  They never answer!!

  If it is a tidy housewif, i always say, "Invite me in and I'll show you quick!!"

  That always gets a naughty giggle, or a comment about me being naughty!!

Communication is the weakest side of my business. I just agree and try to smile, but could quite easily look like a scowl.  ???
Comments about speed have been the most common since i got wfp. I often mention to a customer that if they don't dry perfect, to call me. And that's enough for me.
I've lost the odd job over the years for being too quick. So don't put too much stock on these comments anymore. I look at payment received without complaint or cancellation,  as reassurement that the jobs good un.
