Nearly lost a job before I got it....I went to a quote last night and this couple have spent the past 6 years doing up a wreck of a house (detatched).
Very particular...I wont this and that...I do it this way, watch the plants, this is included, want a price for the whole house, tops only, front only, back only as sometimes I'm not in...blah, blah..
Tell them the price...that did'nt phase them...but then the guy (about 6ft 6, me only 5ft 4!!) goes on to tell me that he'll check this and that and will give me so many chances and then blah blah...
Remember I am now in this guys kitchen and yes I do respect I am in another persons house...I now feel he is really pushing...so I briefly advised him that I will do the best job I can do and welcome him to inspect, it is his money afterall however I will not tolerate his 'I'm the big kid in the playground attitude' and he is free to dismiss me in the event that I do not do a good job, however if he thinks he can talk to me like he has just done...I am not that desperate for his money and suggest he could find someone else...
Well blow me...he accepts it...we all have a good chat about his building work and we'll be doing his house very soon for 45quid for the 1st clean and then 30quid on normal cleans..
I suppose this just goes to show..nowt as weird as folk.
Remember mate you and yours should be shown respect as a human being should....you're not a dog...sounds like this bird is just a big mouthed cow and just likes to big herself up....good riddence...if she can be like that so quickly with you, she'll have done it before with others in your local area and more than likely will be known for it....
Onwards and upwards
