Been canvassing this morning an estate, not a nice one, but not a bad estate either....

Offered to do one house for £8 (3 windows on front and 2 on the back) and noticed next door, an old man listening and then watching me as i cleaned the house.

After i finished, he asked me how much i'd charge to do his place, (pretty much identical, but with one extra window on the side), I presume he has heard me quote for next door, so i say i'll do it for £9 as it has an extra window.

"How much?!" he says. At that point I'm preparing to go down a quid when he says, tell you what, you do all of those windows and promise to call back every four weeks and I'll pay you £25.

Jaw hit floor. Has been a good morning.

unless he ment for the year

[Sean Dyer]

wait till he chats with his neighbour and thinks your doing him

Couldnt you have said £10 , good price for you , and solid custy for life!

[R.W.C.S]

I tried, i actually said I couldn't charge more than £12 in good conscience, and he absolutely insisted i take £25.

Rare gem of a custy i reckon.

Agreed - it'll all end in tears ...

[R.W.C.S]

Did him yesterday. His windows were quite green on the back, so spent plenty of time cleaning. We talked for a bit about his family, then despite my protestations put the £25 in my hand.

What a custy :-)

Agreed - it'll all end in tears ...

but if customer is happy then why not just do a good job and take his money.

no reason not to, but his windows were green, I suspect a couple of cleans then cancel for another five years, but hey I would have done the same in the hope of keep going

I'd dump him and replace with two better priced jobs, naturally  .
