Me- So why are you phoning me?

 

Them- The wood's wet, softwood and half the dumpy bag is bark and other rubbish.

 

Me- Maybe that's why its cheap. My bags are 1m³ and all dry logs.

 

Them- but I only like to pay £40 for softwood. You want £75.

 

Me- (biting tongue) You've got my number if you've any more questions.

Get a few builders bags they only hold half a cubic metre put your dry logs in and charge £40 if they like them they might order 2 next time and you then get £80 a metre and another happy customer.

Cheers Chris.

My old boss 35 years ago used to over tell a story.

We sold horse feed by the sack.

Client: "how much for a bag of horse nuts?"

My boss:"5 quid"

Client: "The company down the road only charge 4 quid!"

My boss: "why don't you buy it from them?

Client:"they're out of stock"

My boss: "well, when we're out of stock we charge 4quid as well!"
