Million pound Transit

[Steven P]

There is a fine line I think, turn up in a rust bucket and you'll get suspicions about the quality of your work. Turn up with 2 brand new trucks, a brand new pick-up and again, questions thought.

 

I wouldn't worry about age - would be a petty customer who runs out to check the reg plate to see if it was this years or last years truck - but would worry more about if it is tidy and presentable. 20 year old Transit that is in good nick or a battered 1 year old, the 20 year old would give me more confidence. Would help if it was all logo'd up rather than a white van with only a mobile number on the side.

I’ve had bangers and I’ve had new trucks.

 

New trucks are better for pricing, sort of forewarns the client that the numbers are going to be serious.

 

But, as Mark points out, a recommendation or an existing client won’t care that much.
