Guy wants references(phone numbers) for work we did in his subdivision...

[jcooper]

Haven't been there(his subdivision) in just over three years....

I've got two people we worked for there, one move out(sale) and the other is at least from three years ago. It's a del web(very nice), they might be dead.


Would you feel comfortable calling someone from that long ago? Have not been back to either home, should have sent reminders...



The fellow wanting the references is concerned if he has issues(with work) he won't be able to find us. No lie..

So how did he find you now?

I would not give other customer's phone number to him, unless you absolutely made sure with your existing customer that it's ok for you to give their number out.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Tell him the truth, then supply him with some of your regulars numbers provided they ok it.

If he doesn't like that, it's the best you can do.

 

[Bruce Humphrey]

I just don't give two chits about guys like this. If it was me I would tell him to call another company.

 

[Jimmy L]

Sounds like a complainer to me...I would avoid him.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Sooo are you saying people should avoid complainers?

Should they send them free samples too or is that something entirely different?

 

[Cleanworks]

I would contact my old customer and explain th situation and if he is willing, hav , guy call him. Maybe you get two jobs

I always just tell people that are unsure to ask around. Ask their friends and family who they would recommend. I am the number 1 reccomended cleaner in my area but live in a small town with only 4 other cleaners locally.

 

[Jimmy L]

Well ReEKo my expierence is that when they start asking for things like that they are just warning you what they will do. Take the easy way.............avoid them. Follow your gut instinct. Just like the people who ask if you have insurance......Hello?

And yeah I'm sure that FREE sample from you know who would have sucked anyway.
Marketing BS always gets the dummies to buy into it.

Just like that internet SCAMPOO Gawd.

I'M DAMN RIGHT TO YOU MISTER!
