Good for him. ;)

He probably thought all his birthdays had come at once when you gave him the opportunity to pay what ever he chose to. I'd have paid you £1210. ;D

At £1200 he can also have his pick of hard working, conscientious, professional cleaners!! ::)roll He was doing YOU the favour in the first place mate.



He got one and I got £1260 for a weeks work ! 8)

Exactly! If he's any sense he'll be looking round for someone else who's not going to take the p*** ;D ;D ;D


 If you read the post properly, I quoted, he accepted. No one forced him to pay the money. He agreed the price as I do perfect work as recommended by his friends.

All ways someone on here with the smart alec comments !

typical newbie kind of error. We are all guilty of underpricing jobs. Just learn from your mistake and move on.

Underpricing??????

I read it properly, the evidence is there. After the event, the customer calculated your worth at £60 per day. ;D

I'm not on a wind up.

How insulting & very unprofessional for the customer, to put them in such a position!! ::)roll

You took the p***, he took it back! Personally, I wouldn't have you back if I were in his shoes! ::)roll

Happened this week

Have a new client house worth £4m. Lovely guy and loaded.

Recommended by a neighbour,so looking long term when I quoted. Quote was £1200 as worked on £300 a day which client was happy with and he knew it would take 4 days. Jet washing, gutters etc.

While I am working, he asked me to do some extra work, " we can add to the bill he asks ? No problem I reply.

Go out my way to give 110% and client is really happy. The extra work takes nearly a day.

End of the job

client says what do I owe you ?

I reply i would prefer you to pay me what you think is fair, Bearing in mind he knows the cost we agreed and the time it should take

He writes me a cheque for £1260 !!  So £60 for all the extra work !

How would you have dealt with this and how do I avoid be taken for a ride in the future
you did alright mate. Look at it as earning £250 a day and he gave you £10 tip cos he was so happy with what you did.

Maintain perspective... ;D

I presume you didnt go to school.   £300 a day x 5 days = £1500 a week x 4 = £6k month  x 12 =£72k a year

Firstly I dont lie, i dont need to. Unlike you and your commercial stuff. most of mine clients are millionaires

Secondly I dont do jet washing every day ! I wish I did

Thirdly buy yourself a calculator , then  engage your brain before opening your mouth
