New customer this morning.
Stopped me in my van a few weeks ago, asking for a card.
From Florida, on the golf course here in Genoa, the most affluent town in the valley.
We had a longer than normal "get to know each other" conversation with lots of mentions by her of how hard it is to find quality, reliable service people
She's an artist who did an amazing job totally remodeling her home. Extremely modern when amazing textures that accent her artwork. I wanted to film a tour of her house but hubby turned me down saying the local home magazine gets 1st dibs..
After corner guards, runners, sealAdoors and prevacuum she asks how much do I owe you?
I tell her let me actually clean the carpet than we'll get to the paying part which gets me an Oh Wow, it looks so good already. Which it did, her vacuumer sucks .
I didn't feel inclined to give her the price as I'm sure Moniquah told her that her two tiny bed rooms would fall under our $125 minimum.
After I finish up and ask her to approve the work ( like the day it was installed!) she again asks how much so I tell her the minimum and she quickly fires back with a She told us $65!
For each room? I ask..
"No for both little rooms.."
The must be a misunderstanding, she would never tell you that.."
Well she did and my husband who was listening can verify, we were on speaker phone. We thought it sounded too cheap.."
at this point any further comments by me would have gotten real ugly as I felt I was getting "jewed" for lack of a better term..
All the little comments and actions are playing back in my mind, wondering where things went wrong..
I wish I had the freedom and nads to slap back.
