Small Misunderstanding

Especially if thy use txt, spk, sumtimes its rlly hrd 2 undr stnd, bludy youth of 2day, cnt thy use the queens inglish. Mkes me rlly mad, I fink iv mde my point so I'l stp 🙂

Bri what puts the wind up me is I understood every word you typed.:yikes:
 
I'd never do business via text message I think it's really unprofessional. And every chance you have to speak to your clients is another chance to get on with them really well and get them to remember you. So I'd have called them and even afterwards emailing them a decent professional quote/estimate.

Hate text messages at the best of times. I think I have about 7 or 8 messaging apps on my phone as various friends use various ones and it does my head in when they message me with something just like 'doin?' - grrrrrrr
 
I am yet to give a quote by text or phone.
I have photographed a quote sheet for a customer and sent via email before. but only because it needed time to work out.
 
I send a text now and again, whats the difference between a text and email ?
I text so its on my phone and i don't forget ,or i email,most customers ask me to either text or email now.
Although i did a job last week and they wanted a invoice POSTING,then posted it back with a cheque and a letter saying a job well done ,weird folk about ! (Lovely folk though)
Ps i don't slang text quotes, its wrote like a quote 🙂
 
I think the thing with texts or emails is the fact that it can be done and assumed it has been received.

So a customer sends a text day before job starts "sorry got another tiler" just doesn't cut it for me.

And the more you do by text the more ch ace you have of them not phoning instead.

I'd try to speak to customers on the phone as often as possible if I were a tiler, I'd email quotes only, not discuss too much via email tho, and I'd never text them. Ever.
