So i get a call today...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From this indian restaurant, lady wants a estimate over the phone. Make a long story short she kept trying to negotiate my price. So finally I say "Well I'll stop in and take a look at it." By the way I told her my very bottom price was $300 and she was telling me $150...hahaha
This is were it gets funny. I go into the restaurant and at the front counter I notice the name of the lady and she was the one I was speaking to over the phone. So not knowing who I was I asked her how much was the lunch buffet, she said $14. So I tell her that was too expensive and I would give her $9...She looked at me like I was crazy..lol She said "NO NO price is $14" So after a couple minutes of trying to negotiate with her on the price I told her I could go down the street and get the chinese buffet for $8..lol She gets mad at me and tells me to go get chinese and that her food is better.
So thats when I told her that I was the hood guy and I was there to give her the estimate for the cleaning. She had such a dumb founded face it was halirious. That's when I said how does it feel to have a cutomer negotiate your price, she didn't know what to say. I ended up giving her a price of $350 and told her to get other estimates. I haven't heard back from her yet, I got some satisfaction out of that, it was great.
