I wont report your post, just leave it here for frustrated home owners to see what tradies really think of paying customers. tradie trades tradesman hire trades man builder build building Re: Brisbane Conceters - a Rant 9Mar 25, 2017 7:53 am burtybear burtybear Ever thought maybe they ignore you because they dont actually owe you anything? or do you think just because you made a phone call or sent an email they owe you an explanation if they're too busy to help you at that time. Or are you are just one of these that are too self centered and thinks everyone you meet owes you something. And that response sums up the attitude I am talking about to a tee. Yes, when you do set up yourself as a business, touting for customers via advertising, and inviting people to contact you, manners would dictate a response of some sort is an obligation. It certainly used to be decades ago, but as we see now, manners are a thing of the past, and your attitude certainly confirms it. burtybear I suppose being so professional yourself when you get quotes off several contractors for one job, you call back everyone that didnt get the job and just thank them for their free time to come out and quote in the first place, or do you just ignore them and deal with the one guy whose going to work for you? In 15+ years of trading ive never had one customer I quoted on call me back and say thanks for sending the quote through, but were going with someone else. The difference is I dont get all angry and have a whinge on the internet about it - thats just how the industry is. Quoting is not free time, its part of your total time spent earning a crust, and you build it into your hourly rate, so lets cut the crap, shall we? And if your quote was reasonbale, and you treated people with courtesy, you'd get the job nearly all of the time, so you wouldnt be giving out "free" time as you call it. The fact that you think a customer has an obligation to thank you for quoting, ie doing what is just part of your own job to generate work for yourself, is astounding. You only want to hear from them if you get the job anyway. Do you really think we believe you want all your quotees ringing you up thanking you for quoting? lol get real, its the last thing you'd want! Its not like you are waiting around to hear either, is it? Quite different to a customer who might actually have a problem impacting on his life and a yes or a no from someone may have a significant outcome on that. burtybear It works both ways, trades don't have time to waste entertaining people who aren't going to actually go ahead with anything. When you've been trading long enough you get to know when people have unrealistic expectations, budgets, or just that pedantic its not worth your time bothering with. Entertaining? Is that how you see it? Customers just have questions, thats what it is. Furthermore, you'e lost context of this thread. The OP is not pedantic, he booked in two concretors for a simple footpath job, so he's obviously serious. Read his OP again, the tradies concerned were unprofessional. your argument holds no water. burtybear If trades aren't returning your calls or emails they either aren't interested or dont have the time - get over yourself and move on. If someone is coming out to do a free quote for you but isn't getting back to you, chances are you're the problem - not that you'll ever believe it. Whilst I understand there are some types of idiot enquiries that justify what you say, you know as well as I do most people are honest paying customers who just want work done. Yes as you say, tradies just arent interested because they are too busy which is exactly what I said in my first post, so thank you for agreeing . The organised tradies, with good work ethics, are never short of work even during recessions. Thats because they dont have the attitude you espouse. thats because they get work from word of mouth. A55holes who dont answer calls dont have that clout - nobody says "hire him, he doesnt return calls."
