[quote="steve frasier":1bj1m6lh]if I was the customer I would have rescheduled
Steve, that says it all I think.
People sometimes believe that carpet cleaning is the most important thing in the world. I'm sure the carpet could wait another day as well.
Hmmm, I wonder how you would feel if your mechanic was a day or two late fixing your truck because another client wanted their windows tinted in your time slot?
As far as rescheduling - only when really, really necessary. Your customer has taken time off work, packed off the kids & dogs, moved small items, vacuumed, and bragged to all the neighbors you were coming that day. Whimsical rescheduling to grab another $100 or $200 from a previous job is selfish and unprofessional.
Your customer should get to kick you in the balls if you show up 2 hours late.[/quote:1bj1m6lh]
Oh stop it already. Dismount will ya?
I've had companies be late, or not be able to get to me before and you just have to deal with that.
I don't have to drive my carpet to the hospital either.
Sometimes the company just screws me and sometimes they have a legit reason...who am I to judge?
maybe it's my forgiving personallity. :mrgreen:
I expect great customer service from every company I deal with and that includes a "hey, I'm sorry we just couldn't make it" etc.
Some things like a flat tire can be considered more of an "emergency" than a carpet cleaning.
I know, time off work and waiting around and all that but every cleaner should have the wherewithall (is that a word?) to call in plenty of time to give the custy a heads up.
