  • Guess I have the last laugh

    Posted by Shane Drew on December 15, 2004 at 6:18 am

    Hi guys,

    6 months ago I got undercut on the quote for this by about 50%. The client called me a crook because the other guy was so much cheapr than me.

    I told the client that the other shop could not do it for the price unless they used inferior products. He laughed in my face, and basically called me a liar.

    I was driving past this job the other day, and look what I saw 😮

    Isn’t it nice when something like that happens? 😀

    If you want to squeeze a bit more pleasure out of it why not ring the client and ask him if he would like the job done properly now.

    Enjoy the moment.

    I have lost jobs or had customers change for one reason or another and in some instances it has been a good thing because when they come back they very seldom ever leave again.

    Thought about that too. Trouble is, looks like the bloke has closed up shop. Perhaps the other sign guy knew something after all 🙄

    Revenge can be sweet.
    Especially when you didn’t have to lift a finger!
    (well maybe ONE finger)
    Don’t you wish you could just say
    “I told you so!” to that guy?
    There’s nothing like rubbing it in! 😉
    Love….Jill
