How much are your logs

[benedmonds]

Does no one sell by the small bag, like they sell at garages.. All our wood is sold like that. £3.50 a bag. Seasoned hardwood, mostly...

[Dean Lofthouse]

Just measured my truck back which is 2 cubic metres level load which I charge £140

We have not really given bags a fair go. I think you need to spend some time setting it up and also you need the customers for it. How do you sell yours.

AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!

 

Had it again today, woman rings up and says how much are your logs delivered?

 

"£60 per big bulk bag" i answer,

 

"Oh, how big is a big bag she asks"

 

"They measure 0.72 cu meter level, but i heap them up a bit so you will get nearer 0.75 or 0.8 cu meters"

 

"Ah, ok not real sure how big that is"

 

"Erm, well its less than a cubic meter" i reply

 

"Oh, well the trouble is we've only bought it by the load or half load before"

 

:cursing:

 

She did go on to order two bags, but ended by saying "well i guess we'll see how big the bags are when you turn up with them"!

 

I feel its a big uphill struggle sometimes

Tell them how much a cubic metre Pete, you'd have to be pretty thick not to know what a cubic metre looks like, then ask them what volume they require, half a cube, a full cube or 2 cube

well i would say " I stand corrected, i'm too cheap" by the above,

 

BUT then i remeber it is 2 years undercover and mine is not at £130 for 2m3:001_cool:

Did try that Dean, she couldnt visualise something that measured 1M x 1M x 1M!

 

She would of been happy for me to deliver "A Load" though:bird:

 

I still cannot get my head around this, i know ive said about it before, but is it only me that thinks terminology like this is just WRONG?

give them a choice, if they can relate to one of them then thats the option for them,
