Everyone should watch this and take note

Exactly that Ty.

I had a woman recently tell me that the job is really big so I should price it really 'keenly' to get it.

I asked her why I should work for her, four days with a team of five, for tiny profit when I could work for other people and make good profit as I'm neck deep in work.

She looked aghast so I walked off.

Brilliant!

 

It's occasions like that that make up for all the awkward customers! Priceless!!

I think social media has enhanced public perception that the consumer is king, that businesses are at the beck and call of the man with the money. Some of the demands of customers are becoming unbelievable because some believe that we're only here for their benefit and we can't survive without their £100 job.

I was in the mean streets of suburban Kings Lynn tonight pricing up a simple remove and grind out a poxy little Connie hedge. I priced normally and by the way the householder reacted you'd think I was talking about a defence budget .

I got the usual "well you're the first firm we've asked to quote, we'll get back to you''

Some hope, another hour and a half out of my life.
