A year to get a resi customer

[Bexiesbruv]

Yep, I spoke to this person last year apparently, funny, I dont remember her.
She booked, then went on to say that even though I was the most helpful, honest sounding mid priced person she spoke to last year, she went with a competitor.
When he arrived, he started to criticize me and the other carpet cleaners she mentioned she spoke to.
Then he charged her significantly more (without discussion) than he quoted her over the phone. She said she didnt want to pay him but was so intimidated, she just wanted him out of the place. He didnt do a very good job either and it certainly wasnt worth the hype she read on their (franchise) web site.
I really dont know if I should get more info from her when I am cleaning and then face off this Guy or just let him destroy his, already degrading, reputation.

Just tend to your business and do not worry about others.

Guy must of been a bully all his life. I couldnt treat people like that.

I bought a couple of floor scrubbers from his father. Buyer beware. I checked one and it was ok. Assured me the other was fine too but he was in a hurry to get his grand kids back to their parents. Took his word for it. Saw the cleaning van in the Apt complex he lived at and mentioned thats what I do. He told me that was his sons cleaning van. The other scrubber didnt work and the Guy never replied to email or voicemail. Like father like son I suppose. Pity his grand kids will follow suit.

You got that right, Omar.

Yea I'd leave that one alone. When you hear other people talking bad about other businesses, it just makes them look bad. The customer obviously came back to you, so don't worry about it.
