You should take the truck so you don't miss out on a bit of scrap.

Don't think it maters to much what u wearing , it's what comes out between your ears . It doesn't hurt to have polo shirt on with your logo on

Sometimes is shorts and trainers with my kids, other times it's in a tractor covered in dirt at 10pm at night.

I have always found customers very appreciative of me giving them my time:thumbup1:

Shane's list of Top Ten Tips, spot on

You have something like the first 15seconds to make the impression. Good or bad. Might as well make the effort and win the job.

Yes, first 15 seconds to make an impression.......

 

 

 

 

 

Which is then forgotten as soon as quotes arrive in their inbox and focus moves to the £.

Boo!

Agreed- you can spend mucho time going into detail about what needs doing only to find they take that detail and give it to someone else who offers a cheaper price. That's across the board.

My advice is- don't go into too much detail.

Oh - and if they use someone else, kidnap their dog:thumbup1:

I've asked many people about this over the years and their answers collate to something like-

1. If you turn up in an expensive looking car - 'youre making too much money'.

2. Turn up in a banger of a works van - which lay-by do you live in?

3. Turn up in a decent works van or car - 'lets see what he has to say'

 

Pretty much what I thought, thanks for the info guys.

[Mark Bolam]

Yeah, spot on Shane.
