Last Tuesday my fuel pump went out on the van . I called two companies, the first one hesitated and seemed to be making up his price on the fly. I didn't trust him. So I went with the other.
At 1 AM he drops my van off at the car dealer and I ask if he can give us ( Myself and my tech) a ride home. He says ya sure and added 50.00 to the bill. less than 1 mile for me and my tech lived 1/2 mile from his shop. I know he has got to run a business but it's the kickem when their down attitude I didn't like I would gladly pay if he had had a few people skills and made me feel like I was getting something for my money other than a screwing. The bill was 200.00 towing and over 835.00 for the fuel pump. So no 15% discounts this week!!!!!!! |

" But we are all price shoppers, The Rich, The not so Rich, & The Poor." ( Nightrider)
I HAVE FOUND A NICE GROUP OF REFERRAL BUSINESS (and it is not all my business) that they do not really price shop. They have been referred and if I am good enough for so and so I am good enough for them. and if john Smith thinks I'm the best that's good enough for them . No questions asked . I have tried to build my business on those customers and not the ones that I have to promise 15% below the lowest price to get the business. (Night Rider )" People don't dictate what prices should be charged......THE MARKET DOES. " This is not 100% true. Many carpet cleaners allow the customers to beat them up on price.( to dictate ) Even though the average market is at say .22 some cleaners allow the customer to make them feel that they are not worthy of that price. That Joe Blow cleaning will do it for X number of dollars etc. allowing that to happen is letting the people dictate. I just tell them that we do not price match, that we have been in the business for 25 years and that we know what we are doing. and that If they wish to go with the lower price they risk the chance that the other cleaner will not be cleaning to our standards.... it is totally up to you mam what type of cleaning you are willing to pay for. What time of the week is best for you, mam? Oh , Tuesday or Thursday , OK I have a 9:30 Tuesday Morning will that work for you ? etc. etc. If they are not referred sometimes the only thing they know how to ask is what do you charge? |
