Its good Keith, it means when they ring you its cos they've thought about it and are then less likely to ring you Monday to say they've changed their mind

But what about if they haven't rung me, because they need to work up the bottle to say, No.

 

[florenceij]

Best of luck. Do you usually request a deposit?

Thanks, yes always.

 

[G. Lasagne]

Cant you ring them and say "oh i forgot to mention" and make something up, ?

 

[estwig]

Yes mate, saving that one for tomorrow evening.

 

[G. Lasagne]

or why not ring him then when he answers say "hiya bill" and when he replies "i think you have the wrong number" say "sorry is this xxxx i think ive rang you by mistake, while your on do you want your loft converting or not"

 

[estwig]

Can't do that, you dodgy git!!

 

[G. Lasagne]

oh you could throw a brick through the window, with a note attached saying accept my quote or else that normally works in my neck of the woods.

The good people of Kingswood, by Leeds Castle, might take it differently!!

 

[maxine]

Good luck Keith

 

[An Oasis]

For good luck send in the parrot. 'I'm going to rip your head off and **** down your neck' and '****** off'. Might help.

He tried that one on me when he was trying to flog me a conservatory for my first floor flat.

Maybe they've not phoned back as they've just seen his last loft conversion.

 

[Matt1959]

.......just cant get over how an accountant can have such a sense of humour - if only they were all like this

have they still not rung:| its probably a bit late now

Believe me, you need a sense of humour working with Jenni.

 

[Bri]

Good for you mate, great stuff!!


I have had the call and......................................Negotiations are still on going, gotta wait on another call back, in the next couple of days!!


Good thing I don't bite me nails!!

 

[Cornish Steve]

or why not ring him then when he answers say "hiya bill" and when he replies "i think you have the wrong number" say "sorry is this xxxx i think ive rang you by mistake, while your on do you want your loft converting or not"

A tried and proven method of getting someone to call you back is to leave a deliberately interrupted message:

"Hi. This is Keith. I just wanted to let you know that..." Click.
"Hello. I just heard from your neighbour that..." Click.
"You are on my mind today because..." Click.
"Met with a friend this evening and he mentioned that you..." Click.

 

[estwig]

Just spoke to the client again and.............................

Still waiting!!! Calling me on Thursday.

I think that's a good sign mate, lets be real for a second 40k to anyone except the bechams is a lot of money, so its not something people would enter in to lightly, so the very fact that he's still calling back is a good sign, its also a sign hes willing to pay and wont bump you, otherwise he would have just said go ahead.

 

[Nell01]

must be a good sign if he's still contacting you, a lot of money to spend, they have a lot to think about
we all know if he was NOT interested, there would be no contact.
good luck

I've run out of things to use to have a go at you K, so instead, you're a big fat poofy woofy.


Seriously tho, good luck. Just remember my cut

So that would make you an unimaginative coffee drinking poof!!!





Yes they have said the work is mine, but they are have two holidays coming up and a financial thingy maturing in August, so are thinking of putting the work off until then. But I want the work now!! So have dropped my price.

This isn't a particularly new game to me, one of our current builds is a large extension with a loft conversion for £80k, took 'em two years after having a quote, to decide to go for it!!

 

good luck mate

 

[estwig]

Ya!!!!

Here we go, game on!!

Seeing them tomorrow to collect a deposit.

Tis good news, since this credit crunch thingy started we have been undercut on building extensions by all the fellas, coming off the big commercial sites, bricklayers, chippies, etc. But them boys can't do loft conversions, they don't know how, so we is now moving into the loft conversion game, big styley!!!!!

That gives me 3 lofts on the go now, two more confirmed to start and another 3 under discussion.

 

[*Lexxy*]

brilliant! great news, well done Keith
