I always try to work with repeat customers, but this one I was sick of, he asked me on the phone if I would price match last year's invoice of $ 300, I asked him to send me a copy of that invoice and that shocked me because a past employee was under charging him by a lot and I overlooked that invoice, I told him unfortunately I can't price match that, we worked out a deal of $ 50 more and when I got there he asked 2 extra rooms to be cleaned and pretended that it was part of the deal, I showed him the invoice and it says 2 rooms not 4 rooms, I charged him $ 50 more after measuring the whole place, apparently the 2 rooms we cleaned last were the biggest rooms, the additional 2 rooms were 2 small bedrooms, he haggle and haggle, I stood firm, he agreed, I wrote the "future" pricing on the invoice with a disclaimer "current pricing" and told him that if there are no increase, this is going to be the price on the next service, his eyeballs almost jumped out of his face, lol.
May be I should ask him to call Bill huh ? Lol.

This info is not for a newbe you need all the work cheap customers and not cheap customers. After a long time putting up with the pin heads PM. Land Lords Realtors I love the look in their face when i tell them they will have to call some one else to do their work. Its worth a million bucks what do you mean you don"t want my business any more i reply with i run a business i don"t wait for your call, with it needs to be done today ASAP . They all use the 30 days to pay.
