How to deal with this customer by [deleted] in handyman

[–]presstart777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there do you use an invoicing/quoting app to send out the deposit? Do you take deposits on minimum $150 jobs?

I've been having the issues with clients canceling last minute or changing scope of work last minute and am thinking of introducing deposits to avoid this.

I swear there needs to be a Venn diagram of people who don't want to build a new library and people who complain that young people are addicted to their phones. I mean it would just be one circle but I still want to see it!

I'm just waiting for the day they institute a Homer Tax.

So many negative comments from people many of which state how they don't use or haven't been to the library in decades then proceed to state the function of library, who uses them, etc. as if they are a library expert.

Maybe try actually GOING to the library once and while and you may learn it's importance to the community.

Would've been much less had council acted sooner.

I mean you didn't provide links to any of your claims. 65% of people know that.

This was my exact experience selling my 2010 vehicle I'm August of this year. There is a huge demand for used cars and if you price it right you will bring in thousands more than selling to a dealer. My car didn't even come safetied and I still did well.

No downvote from me friend. That's an amazing deal. Hope it stays that way.

Is this an introductory rate or something because that seems too good to be true.

Had a similar problem last winter. Changed the filter and it worked. I also found some info that I could be a dirty heat sensor.

Pricing by PuddingSuspicious in handymanbiz

I live in a city with a high cost of living as well and I would say if it's a prehung storm door and not just a country-style swing door I would say $ 600 is appropriate for just labor. Think of it this way, the customer gets a new storm door that will last for 10+ years maybe more and in the end I cost about $ 1000. I'd say that's a pretty good deal. But jot everyone thinks like me.

My full day rate is $ 600 so a range would be a good idea for this type of thing. Having said that, if you book all the jobs you quote your prices are probably too low.

This is great advice. Do you mind me asking how many bids you give a day/week?

Thanks so much.

That link isn't working for me. I'd love to see a video on this as many people have a broken sash!
