So why this guy contact me about fixing something of his. I gave him a price of how much it was going to be. And then he wanted a breakdown parts versus labor. I don’t like doing that because I know the customer is going to nickel and dime me. Sure enough he goes online and says why are you charging me x amount for this part. It only cost $30 on Amazon.
I explain why my parts cost more etc. And I don’t hear from him again. He sends me a text today asking when is the earliest I can do the job. I don’t want to do the work, I know this guy is going to be a pain in the ass. What are business appropriate reasons/ excuses I can give as to why I don’t want the business.
Just tell him the truth - you don’t think you’d would work together well - then wish him good luck. If he responds, why? Tell him exactly what you posted here and that in your experience, people who try to get too nickel and dimey arent worth the time.
You have every right to choose who you work with and it’s a waste of time to work for people who are like this.
