quote: because before she ripped into me over the phone, she complimented me on how good and pleased she was with the work, but then it came. "YOU JUST LOST ANY MORE BUSINESS FROM ME CAUSE YOU'RE TOO EXPENSIVE, AND YOU SHOULD REMEMBER THE AREA IM IN."
This is a perfect example of why you should beware of any customer that starts a sentence with "I really like your work, but..."
You've lost nothing.
Last year I had a customer running his mouth that I was too expensive. A few people mentioned it to me, and as they did, I pointed out that he has never paid his bill from me for a sign. Once the truth of the situation became known, his credibility and business suffered a lot more than mine did.
I'm still in business...he isn't!
...and THAT"S the area this woman is in. Deadbeat Area 51, where she is alienating herself by running her mouth.
No problem. Word gets around in time and the truth is, she's out to do damage. It'll become apparent to others and she'll sink her own ship. Again, you've lost nothing.
The truth, no matter how hard it is to accept (in her case), remains the truth. She's a cheapo with a bad attitude.
Now where did I put that curling video... Rapid
