your tile shop

[CJ]

Nooooooooo, but if it would get me a bigger discount. Then maybe



But I have had a LOT of work from them. They phone me when my cards are running low.

I have ALL there slightly damaged bags of addy at next to nothing prices., and they phone me to tell me wot they got as well.

So all in all........a nice bunch of guys, and girl :smilewinkgrin:

I haven't ever had a recommendation from a tile shop or merchant.

All the decent tile shops are a minimum of 3/4 an hour away anyway, so the chances are that I wouldn't be too interested in travelling that distance to a customer local to them, unless the job was a reasonable size.

To be fair, I'm not in the same league as some of you guys anyway, and if I'm to be competing as a regular tiler, I've got a fair bit of catching up to do. Competent with the simpler stuff, but.....

Builder's merchants, most don't pass work on, as it's usually the tradesman who's buying the materials in the first place. I have been known to strike up a conversation with private clients before now in the hope of getting a job, never worked though.

I have got recommendations via estate agents etc, Such clients have in turn recommended me to others etc, so the trail goes on.

Very bizarrely went to one of the 2 tile shops I use today ! They actually asked for some of my cards :yikes: Have sent quite a few customers their way and have purchased quite a few grands worth of tiles since just before Christmas ! They supplied tiles for my curved wet room : I e-mailed them photos upon completion !
Things may be looking up if they are asking for my cards !! About time !!

I seem to get more jobs from the shop than other advertising at moment.
Always get offered a cup of tea when I go in, and occasionally a client walks in and the shop pass them straight onto me for fitting.
Seems to work well, no back handers or anything, just a good old chat with the staff and manager, buy the adhesive from them and send clients in there.
