Because of all those discounts people keep asking us for!!!.

Got my invisable fence fitted today, with the boomer alarm, that'll hopefully keep the filth off my property at night!

Just wondering whether those who want discounts would be so accommodating if their own customers also wanted them.  Maybe not quite the same thing as work time is finite (unless you take people on) and supplying goods a bit less so.  I think I would only if I was buying in bulk myself as it seems more legitimate that way.

It would be dependant on what the customer wants done.
If they normally have just outer windows cleaned and asked can you do the con roof, insides, gutter and facs aswell next time, as long as it all can be done in one visit, there is no harm in giving a discount (if asked). Afterall you would be saving on "downtime and fuel costs". No different from buying in bulk supplies :)

if a customer was paying over £100 for a job yes i would give a discount if they asked.

as stated in my first post all the item are over £100 one item is close to £500 im no asking for discount on a £20 item.
