With two half page ad's in the yellow pages we get a lot of calls on the fly. Yesterday buddy calls me up..just bought a new condo..stripped wallpaper himself and wants painting down....everything.
I whip over there to land it on the spot and buddy tells me he has no money since he just spent all his dough on the purchase and asks me to do the job for free....with the ***Guarantee*** that he will say nice things about me in the future.
I gave him a price for $3,750.00 and politely thanked him for the opportunity to quote.
