Quoting against two others that were cheaper, and won the work!

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Fantastic result, I love it when the customer works out who the good guy is. Good news, and well done

the thing is i was not supposed to be quoting against them and i think the chap got a bit
miffed with them as he just wanted them to quote for there work. Them slagging me off and trying to mussel in on the tiling did them no favors at all. they will find out that i got the job as i see both of them in the local builders merchants all the time.:lol:

You may be more expensive mate but they know you are saving them the pain of more expense and grief down the line.
I do like switched on customers.

 

[Scott]

Brilliant! And even better if you know who they are. Love stuff like that, and to boot theyll get a first class job

 

[tommyzooom]

Thats great, I wish all customers would be that switched on

Nice story deano, sounds like you were bidding against my old boss.

Makes me feel I'm doing the right thing too :hurray:

Sorryyyyyyyyyyy. I just thought "quoting" didn't do the thread justice. haha

We get hundreds of quoting threads a week, but ones like this are few and far between. Normally it's a "so I want you to help me quote this job". A nice 'won a quote against a plasterer and a plumber' thread is nice to read every now and again.

Now let this be a lesson to you all. Use descriptive titles for your threads or you'll be baffled when I change them on you! haha

I'm just so glad you can come up with such short catchy thread titles:lol:

Deano, good result. This job I was £800.00 dearer than my nearest rival. Won it did it, customer very happy, you get what you pay for

 

[DHTiling]

2 nice jobs there lads..

 

[Aston]

nice one deano its getting to be a really frustrating situation were customers are just going for the lowest quote but you stuck to your guns and they recognised what you were about...quality & integrity thats what your paying the extra for, why dont some people get that????

good for you too phil
