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.
I am busy for the next 4 weeks. I don’t have any availability until the new year. Also, I charge what I feel is appropriate for my service. I don’t feel comfortable doing any work for you because you are questioning how I do my work and I don’t feel I can do the job to your satisfaction.
It is important to know what jobs to take and what jobs you don’t take.
