i'm going to hang myself 4 asking.......

how many of you been to a customer (Foreigner's usually!) & as soon as you hand them the quote they want you to knock off £100 just so you can get the job as they've been quoted cheaper!

my answer is usually go with the cheaper guy then!

now its your turn, wot would you do?

thanks for your feedback

here is my answer...though it was not foreigners..

I put a price in of £600 to do a bathroom floor in porcelain over undertile heating which I was installing and I was to do the walls in ceramic...he was happy with the price at the time...I got a phone call about 6wks later, he said if I would do the job for £500 it was mine..I simply told him to get someone to do it for £500 as I wouldn't..I told him my price was £600 and nothing less...I don't need to do price matching

fair comments!

 

[actiling]

i find devonmarks comments totally correct,"you get what you pay for"the germans like to haggle a bit,and this is what i tell them.i know it is sometimes difficult to pass a job,over a couple of hundred quid and even more so if its a nice job,but once you start were does it end.price it right and stick to it,however be prepared to explain your pricing to the client.......good luck....chris

They take it of leave it. Imagine South West London, it's becoming Aladin's cave.
