I had a call earlier today for a basement flat clean, 2xbedroom, lounge, dining room, hallway, portch very large 3 seater sofa and large 2 seater in white.
I priced up at £240 over phone, but as the area she lived in is renowned for having big rooms (I used to live there myself) I advised that I go out and see it as it's difficult to price up without seeing, she seemed more than happy with this and I was going to see her tomorrow. I thought this price was reasonable what do you guys think???
She's just phoned and told me she's been quoted £130 and could I go lower than this, I declined with grace lol. In a way though I have this niggle at the back of my mind that £130 is still a damn good day rate compared to some jobs I've had but is too far away from my original quote,
How do you guys deal with these customers, I just stayed friendly and joked with her but should I have offered to budge down a tad or still go survey or offer something extra???
I'm Still new to this, all my work up to now has come from referalls or contract cleaners, this is the first time I've run a domestic advert
Cheers
