BCC you're not far from me. It's been quiet here too - all I've had last 2 weeks is repeats & referals, only 1 new customer (a few enquiries which haven't converted as yet).

Jan and Feb were poor, March and April looking good.

Did a job on Monday and the couple had another cc whose just down the road from me doing the oven, he said he's not been as quiet as he is now with eleven years under his belt, he's wondering wether to call it a day.

Easter is early??? when is it normally, in November?

how does an early Easter effect how busy we are? are they spending all their money on Easter eggs

[Joe W Brown]

Its been very slow for me, in Norwich.

[Doug Holloway]

Hi Guys

Easter is way off, the general economic situation and weather have been against us but you need to keep plugging away.

I am busy although having to work harder at converting enquiries.

Cheers

Doug

All or nothing at the  mo, either stacked out with short notice work, or nothing. cheesed off with ....
"Can we have a discount as you know us"
"How much for cash"
"Trying to re-negotiate at end of job"
"Can you do it tomorrow?"
