Will you cut your prices?
I just had a regional manager looking at accounting statements call me this week and ask me to cut my price 6 dollars on a 170 unit job.
To me this is 25 grand a year, I didn’t tell the regional manager he is crazy with fuel prices being so high.
I ask this guy to send over the RFP for the reduced price. His reply was I have no rfp, I said you kidding!
He says your cleaning sidewalks how hard can this be, I said really? We are just cleaning sidewalks in your agreement? He said yes.
I said six dollars less than the price now and alls we have to do is sidewalks? Yes he said, I replied I will do them for 25 less per unit. He said why have you been over charging us? I explain he didn’t have a copy of my agreement. He did not; we are doing buildings compactors and everything for that price. Now you just want sidewalks? I will make a killing discount you only 25.oo , the guy that was charging to much was the guy that’s bidding sidewalks only 6 dollars less than I’m doing everything.
He quickly said you have been doing our stuff for 15 years and we have never had an accident. I said you’re correct. He apologized and said he was very sorry for the misunderstanding and thanked me for explaining the service. He said they will be making no changes in the near future and that he will be letting the company know that put the bid in know they have been turned down.
Guys, please make sure your apples for apples and not oranges and apples.
