Its sometimes better to say nothing....
« on: February 07, 2013, 11:14:19 am »
I've just had a customer say "I don't really like this new way, I don't understand it."

I made the best reply possible.  What do you think I said?

Edit: I've changed the Subject Title to reflect the answer.

No and no to those two.

Keep guessing and we'll see who is on my wavelength.

The same sort of reply I used to give when I was trad:

You pay me to make your windows clean.  How I do them is my business - I'll rub them with the top of my head if I feel like it, but if after I've finished the windows are clean, I've done my job and you have to pay me.

Please remove your foot from my throat and allow me to stand up and explain. Oh, no, that's what the customer said.  ;D

Thats an interesting observation and I'm sure your double exclaimation marks were typed in jest rather than anger. Every customer on transfer from trad to WFP 8 years ago received a letter explaining the different method of cleaning.

This customer while quite a pleasent old lady is in the camp of those who would rather see all things done the 'old way'.

With this customer I said nothing in reply I simply smiled, she changed the subject to the weather.

Sometimes it's better to say nothing and be thought a fool, rather than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!
