While your here!

[humpo48]

We have all been there I am sure! Those dreaded words 'While your here!' Over the years I have had some interesting 'Oh while your here' jobs. From putting up a rotorary washing line and other tree work in the clients gardens at no extra charge of course! Just interested to know

I believe Johnny Quick has done a tutorial on this very subject.

I am at a job just now and when I arrived at 9am I asked him just to remind me what was to do. I have it written down anyway but I like the customer to go through it with me again.

Suprise surprise, the customer thought I had forgotten and used the opportunity to add a load of extras, cool, see if he is surprised when I do his invoice (-;

Unless you have the original quote written down and signed by both parties, it will end in aggro. Both you and the customer are being underhand there.

We use a builder that supplies clients with a 'Can you Just' form at the start of a job, they put anything on that doesn't appear on the original quote, he puts a price next to it even if it's £0 or a fiver then if they agree they sign next to it and he does the work while he's there, saves any tensions that could arise at the end of a job especially ones that take a day or less.

Perhaps, however the customer would be well advised to not appear on Deans Black list:sneaky2:.

Nice idea that ...

I seem to recall a similar thread on here where someone mentioned having t shirts made up with the logo 'While you're here' starts at £30
