  1. In my experience as soon as they talk about % people cannot work it out! it's a gimmick and YOU sell the jobs. The price is important but when you turn up looking the part and walking the walk you get the sales. People buy from people.

     

    Also the ones always wanting the cheap option are a royal pain the in arse they are never happy, take the longest to sort out and don't even say thank you!

  2. someone on arbtalk..who shall remain nameless...was getting logwood stolen on a regular basis. He drilled out a bit of wood...filled it with gunpowder from a firework and plugged it back up again. The theft stopped. Carlsberg don't do firewood insurance...but if they did.....:biggrin:

     

    That is genius :thumbup1:

  3. I think freebies would be the way forward too. You could use the coupon just to distinguish them and then have a random selection when your packaging the order.

     

    Ear plugs, goggles, gloves, karabiner keyring! I used to work in the outdoor trade and you would not Bellevue the amount of people fighting over little krabs!

  4. They are great! One thing you could use it for work wise is a portfolio of work. Just load it up with images of past jobs and when you pop round to do quotes just show off your handy work.

     

    There are tons of good apps too! easy-lift guy is right though without internet it's a bit limited!

  5. AND met Princess Anne! we got a commendation in the Technical innovations awards. Dead chuffed there were all these big firms with there amazing tractor mounted bits of kit and then us with the sawhorse. Princess Anne wanted one for the hubby but I did not have the balls to thrust a card into her hand not sure how that would have gone down with the protection squad! :biggrin:
