Disclaimer: I realize i should have gotten a signed contract, so save it! I don't really want to work for people that aren't good for their word.
Picked up a nice little tree job about eight days ago. Job was priced nice and the people were happy (they called back with the go ahead latter that day).
Just got a call back from the customer saying "we got another price that was $300 cheaper than yours, so we decided to go with them". I said " so you're still getting prices??" They said "well, we had called them at first, and they didn't get back to us... they said they were sick". I said "may I ask who it was?". They said they would rather not say.
Now, I suppose I could have just dropped my price (since it was a simple job really), but thats not my style...
Let the devaluing begin. :angry2:
