Are you putting quotes together tonight?

How many instances can you say for sure a conservatory was smashed and twice the cost was demanded.

 

That was an example, but again around my area sadly this does occur!

Almost never do written quotes or a job spec, just hand shake every job.

 

In 18 years I've only had one customer try it on.

 

Had a guy today, looked at the job £550+VAT, guy was happy, he asked if I put things in writing, "nope" I say and shake his hand, tell him I'm a man of my word. "Well if thats good enough for MR X, thats good enough for me" he replied (I'd been recommended to him my Mr X)

 

I always run through the job with them on the day we are doing it, if they try to change things, I pull them up on it, but it very rarely happens.

 

People are aways happy and away pay, no problem

 

Yep,thats the way i like to do it too,and i havnt got a horse or a wide brimmed hat.

always a written quote on carbonised, letterheaded paper with a card. Mostly there and then during the consultation, but for bigger jobs, risk assessment/job sheet on site and quote prepared at home and emailed/posted. I can't remember what I did yesterday...got to write everything down!

I want to move to where you are if you never have these problems!
