I was cleaning the windows of a village hall this morning...
A woman walked over and said: "I don't normally approach strange men (
insult number 1) - But I've been after a window cleaner for ages".
Me: "I'm not that strange! - Would you like a quote?"
Her: "Yes please"
Me: "OK, I'll pop over in a minute when I've finished here"
I pop over the road to take a look at her house... Before I look she starts telling me about her last 2 window cleaners.
She says: "The first one I had 20 years ago, but he's retired now... The last one only came for about a year, now he's gone off and got a proper job in an office (
insult number 2).
Anyway... I look around the house. I would've normally quoted £15, but because of the 2 insults I quoted her £20 instead
- Which she accepted
- But only after telling me she only used to pay £10 :
The job only took me 30 mins and she was pleased with the results... She wants me to add her to my regular 8 weekly round in the area - But I have a feeling she might be "one of those customers" if you know what I mean!
