Right, one of my customers (which I've been doing for a year) had move to a nicer and bigger house in the same location. I only have 3 customers in this location I like to add.
Anyways as I was driven through the village I seen the other local window cleaner, so naturally I would smile and put up my hand, only to get the dagger eyes at me lol some boy!
Anyway I parked at the customers house and had a good catchup which her and could see the window cleaner coming up the street.
His words was "I've paid a lot of money for this round, what are you doing here" i state the obvious.
Next his says this was my house how have u got this job? So I explain she has been a customer if mine. I went on to explain that I would not be walking the street undercutting him or anyone else, but if some rings me up that's diff. His reply is "you need to say no and redirect them to me" lol
To this point he replys again he paid for his round. I wish at the point I was a little faster in my feet and reply that I built my rounds from nothing.
Best thing is one of his customers herd this and ask me to give him a quote when I left, which I didn't because wasn't worth the hassle.
My question is am I in the wrong? Or is this bloke just a complete titt! Don't think next time I can hold my tongue
