hey old and ugly, yeah it feels good to take care of each other.we won a city bid for 500,000 the next bid was 625,000 we knew they were a small outfit so it wasnt that off. the crews started working and were promptly accosted by a kook, the town knew him he had inserted himself as a naturalist, he had enlisted the help of a starryeyed firstyear forestry student for fancy footwork, a couple o science facts and a lot of smoke and mirrors, the guy crossed the line, when he began yelling at crews, distracting the op, and complaining and badmouthing us to the city.powderkeg. conferance call the next day we bought out for a dollar and we were happy to let the other guys have the work because we knew they were slow, we always checked in and found no one seemed to bother them, no refereal needed there, you just entered the world of colusion joldugly said:Some of my best customers are also my closest competitors. We don't really have a referral fee arrangement, but will give eachother jobs when we are too busy, or the other needs the work....Usually we just make sure the primary contractor, or customer contact gets somethng on the job.
Ex. I had a job for 650. and started a long term contract that wouldn't allow me to get it done before snow fell, so I gave it to another company that was hurting for work. He took it for 550, so we both made some money, although he did the work. He kept his crew fed another day, and I kept a satisfied customer,.... and beer money.
