A guy called me up today, wants to know about how much I would charge to clean and seal a 1688 sq ft deck. It was blatently obvious that he was just checkin' up on my pricing, not a real customer.
I politely informed him that I don't give out numbers on the phone, but I would be happy to come out and look at the deck. I told him there are too many variables, that I would have to see it......to that he says, well, it's a new deck.
It was hilarious, he kept trying and trying to get me to tell him a price, but I knew his real intentions. I think my attitude caught him off guard, he was fumbling his words. I guess I went off the script. Too funny.
Again, I told him I wouldn't give a price on the phone, and he persists...."Why?"
I told him I don't feel it's professional to give quotes over the phone and that I'd be happy to come out and look at it..... then I hung up.
Anyone else get this kind of stuff?
