I followed up with a potential customer yesterday, 2500 sq ft tile roof, driveway, walkway, pool deck, pool cage & housewash I`d quoted $650 which is low because I was working in the street, he told me he`d had it done for $450 arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

 The TRICK is to have enough leads that when you lose one, it is no big deal.

I actually went by a Job that was stolen from me by a price cutter, and thanked him !

I showed him that while he was working for nothing, I made twice that in other work.

That rocked his world

 Anyone I know?? 1 guy we know is in  The Home Mag doing all that for $250!!!!!

Pure insanity.

That sucks I have a guy around me bragging he's always $100's cheaper than me. O well I out sell my service over his price about 80% of the time you do the math

 I make them feel bad about telling me they have a cheaper price.

I will say something like " Mr Customer, you have a half million dollar home in Tampa Palms, a BMW M5 in the driveway, and a Rolex on your wrist, obviously you don't buy cheap, so why start now" ?
