  Is it worth breaking your balls on the clearance work with no regular maintenance agreement ?

  I wouldn't be interested in the one off job unless it was for top money and if your anything like me you would have quoted low for the tidy up so as to not put them off for the regular maintenance.

  If the moneys not right then don't mug yourself off, tell them where to stick it.

  Just give them a sepparate one off quote for the clearance work, it's better than nothing, then you will be on their list for next time ?  My way of doing things is, never refuse work.  Good luck....

  initial visit was already priced separately, and as far as my price everything is covered as usual (margins fine). Just amazed that I was told that the season was nearly over

  i have just looked at the long range forecast for august and the atlantic jet stream is heading south again after next week ,which means more precipitation

  ,i am concrened that customers might be about to give up on the season,which means we may be in for a long winter,has anyone else noticed that enquiires are slowing down.

  I have about 6 weeks work because of the back log caused during the last few months .

    I've noticed it's slowed down, but looking at previous years it always does about now with holidays etc.
