My other Window Cleaner only charges X amount
« on: October 26, 2016, 07:30:57 am »

         Once in a blue moon when i go to quote for a job, i get the classic My other window cleaner only Blah Blah  Blah  :o :o,
         I normally just say in a friendly manner, look regardless of what your other window cleaner charged, my charge is X amount,
         Just interested to know what quick witted replys you give  after quoting, when they lunge the same at you   ;D ;D

Usually I'll say, 'if he can do it for that price, I would definitely use him. Oh, he's quit, I wonder why that could be?'

My last customer that came up with this comment (last wc charged £5, I was charging  £12) I just said "I'll come once a month,  he was 2 weekly, and you tell me after one clean if you want to continue with me,"
She text me back on the day to say how pleased she was with the clean.
She's 94 btw

I spin it back on them.
I ask how much would they charge.....wait for a stupid price and then ask them how many houses do you think you could clean in a day? (They usually answer still.) And then i say, would you be happy with that as a days wage with the bills you have to pay?

Yet even on the tight fisted people, they agree but still dont want to pay more.

I say:

'Wow that's cheap! Can you give me his number please I will get him to come and clean mine at that price!'

Little smile and a 'Cheerio' and walk away.

My wife use to say to me our window cleaner must have gone underground or banged up again as I haven't seen him for months.
 Turns out she was right  ;D
