I did a bid on a bathtub addition this spring. it was a horribly slow time and i was counting on the job. i did a perfect sales job. He was a referral and i knew i had the job.
He called me to say he was going with someone else for $500 less..it was just the icing on the cake for March....i sat home almost all month.
Got a call last week from his brother...hmmm i thought....why did he refer me and not the other plumber? hmmmmmm
I had to ask him....So i went to do the job today and asked 'how did your brothers bathtub install go?'
He said 'my brother wishes he would have picked you instead!. The other plumber had to come back 3x and finally had to bring the owner to hash out the problems'....turns out they had to open up drywall several times and it was leaking from the 2nd floor all the way into the basement
Ohhhhhhh that made my day.....$500 was alot to be beat by on this project.. i knew something wasnt quite right....i always wonder what happened on these jobs where i get beat on price horribly...ive had a few which were 1/2 price. I wonder how they went
any good stories to share?
