Went to one of my long standing underpriced customers today.
(last month he had been listening to Jezzer Vine and thought he'd moan about my wfp that would "get all the leaves wet before he could sweep them away").
Anyhooo - he's painting one of his old wooden windows and he apologetically says he doesn't want wfp anymore because it makes the lower frames rot. :
Because there are parking issues and I only charge £11 for 15 windows and two glazed doors I'm glad to be shot so I cheerily say "That's fine! See you around!"
He says "It's a shame really, because you get the glass looking spotless - is there any chance you'd do them off a ladder?"
"Absolutely not, 1) because I believe I would be breaking health and safety guidelines and 2) because then you'd have soapy water squeegeed into the frames - see ya!"
"I'm really sorry" he says
"I'm not - honestly! Bye " says I!
...
For your info I've now lost six customers in three years of wfp - two I dropped due to minging frames, two dropped me due to minging frames, two dropped me due to not liking dripping water.
It's a win-win situation.
