Hows the work situation update.?

For those quiet lads I think Dans idea this week of getting 'wall and floor Tiler' in massive letters on the back of your shirts and cruising through the diy shops is a good idea. Seen it someones shirt this week, no doubting what he did for a living! Saw another couple of 'lost souls' in B&Q yesterday!! If you talk to anybody tell them you get VAT free tiles from other tile shops. (Not strictly true, but usually somethink like the discount you will get) People love screwing the taxman!

wivers, did you quote on a job in Stratfield rd, borehamwood recently?

a guy called Rob?

Dont think so mate. Why???

I did quote for a job but it was for a lady. Bathroom floor was all knackered.

Just get your face and name about...pop into tile shops and say hello...is it ok if i send my customers in etc etc...friendly chat always works for me..if no joy then move onto the next one..keep pushing your name about..

Am flat out with Kitchen and Bathroom work, Now taking bookings for 2010.Most are new customers thro recommendations.

Sell yourself and your products, Explain why your price is your price and that you do not compromise quality over cost

Yes there is people out there who will look at the bottom line figure only, But most want a good job at a fair price
