This is called business ! ! !
Of course it is. It just gets a bit more personal in a trade where nearly all the businesses are one man bands. If it were possible to organise it, I would be happy to team up with 30 window cleaners and do the Burgess Hill company's work for £1 a house until they go broke. It would only be a day a month each to almost sacrifice. So I spend a day earning £15 or £20 along with 30 others. Burgess Hill Co. goes broke. Then put the prices up to what they should be. Alternatively, they could leave other people's work alone.
Of course it wouldn't be realistic to organise this but maybe the threat of it could stop the toe treading.
so what did you do before the likes of tesco's and sainsbury's opened up their superstores and killed off the little corner shops ? I never hear anyone complain about this as they are far too busy getting their bargain booze and shopping, but isn't it exactly the same thing ? the one differnce being is that once this window cleaning company does get established and taken a lot of work off others they WILL put up their prices
Business is Business and as long as a company does everything legal then it is well within its rights to excercise its rights to use telesales to drum up business, after all it goes on in all parts of the market place.
one thing Ive learned is that these customers don't belong to us just because we clean their windows, and yes it is hard when we lose customers to undercutting, but I believe in providing the best possible seervice to my customers and building as best form of loyal relationship as possible to be their preferred supplier.
Those people who don't provide this I feel are more at risk although none of us are exempt from it.
