Students eh!
« on: June 23, 2017, 11:18:06 pm »
Evening all

So I had an email earlier in the week from a student wanting a quote for an end-of-year clean before next Friday.  I've cleaned it for students for the  last couple of years and know how long it takes so quoted £20.00 and said I can clean on Monday morning as I have one nearby to do as well.

Not heard back so I emailed today to see if she got the price.  She confirmed she had but said she was waiting on a couple of other WC companies to get back to her before they make a decision.

How much does she think the others are going to come back with?  Am I on my own in thinking that the hassle of emailing and waiting for the remaining quotes is a waste of time and money.  I could understand if it was a sizeable but fgs it's only £20.00 which will work out to a fiver each!

Maybe it is me  ;D ;D

Why waste your time on them unless you want to rip them off cash in advance when they leave it until the very last minute or lose their deposit  ;D

If I give a quote, I always just leave it with them. If they respond, fine. If they don't, fine.
