just explain your running a business and was asked to quote for a job, the occupier is un happy with your service so they have asked me to clean hem.

tell him your not targetting is work but if you get calls to quote and pick up the jobs you will clean them.

he may threaten you but it will all be hot air 99% of the time, and if you are to start a business you will have to step on someones toes just try not to be underhand and make sure you do a good job and you should be fine.

If i was that guy.... i would have been too ashamed to call the new window cleaner...

knowing that , he knows the customer thought i was crap and did not do a good job....

he has got a nerve ringing you actually!..... what does he expect if he is rubbish at his job...

clean it... show him how it should be done... ;)

I said, no... yellow pages why?....

he said oh right mate... just wondered .. and walked off.

how did he know you took the job? i guess the customer must have told him.
Why would a customer give your details out to him in order for him to call you?

Some people!  calls you again explain that you will meet up with him and chat about it, dont be threatening but soon as you say that he might realize that your not intimmidated and if he keeps it going go round every street in that area and canvass it!
