Phone Calls - How Much Guv?
« on: November 12, 2008, 06:53:31 pm »
Just had a phone call of this guy..

Him - I just had a look at your website there are no prices on it.

Me - No, its not possible to put prices up, as all properties are different

Him - Uh, ok.

Me - I would give you a price in person. We need to see the work required and the working space around the property.

Him - Uh, ok then. Thanks bye.



Must be someone just trying it on, or another window cleaner acting dumb! Withheld number too. Soon as he said prices on the website i just knew it was a duff call.

Its so obvious when you get calls like this they are just after a price to compare. I dont give out prices over the phone, and never will do! (It even says on the website, unable to give out prices over the phone).

They might not want me to clean their windows, and I might not want to clean their windows either, so i always view properties first before giving anything away.

i had a call today from a leaflet put out that hour, but same story, "how much" i asked how often???

- whenever i ask

me- okay that will make it more expensive

-erm, i cant afford it regular

(she lives in a 4 bed detatched in a NICE area :)

so i said prob between 15-20 which is CHEAP for a 4 bed detatched with conny done ad-hoc...


-my current WC is cheaper

me - so why are you ringing, he is obviously no good...i dont take other peoples work anyway so im sorry bye

Later on she asked if i did one offs to which i obviously said yeah, but if im too dear for windows god knows how she will react to prices for one offs lol


Some people eh.....
