wierd call

[mike lane lawn care]

i just was told by my mother that someone had left a message on the answering machine earlier today, the call was the absolute wierdest i have ever recived, not because of what she said, but what she didn't say. it was "uh hi uh, i heard you could clean a deck, my nuber is xxx-xxxx" then she ended the call, no name, no information, nothing, i don't think i will even call her back. the only way someone could have "heard" that i could "clean a deck" is from the bigest PITA whom discussed pressure washing every time i went to cut, i told her i don't own one. she kept saying well you can rent one, and they don't cost that much, and "we'll see, maybe you'll get one" so i don't think i want her as a customer. what do you guys think? should i just call back and say she heard wrong that i don't offer it?

Check the number you got on the answer machine against the one you have for your mowing customer, to see if its the same one, if it is i probaly would not bother about ringing or give her the phone no. of some body that does pressure cleaning.

i checked, they are not the same, but it doesn't come up as a number, not even in an inyternet search.

If you don't offer a service, you don't offer it. Ignore it and keep moving.....

Thats kind of what I was thinking!!!!:confused:

Nah, call the number back that you received on the message and provide to her the telephone number of the pita customer - say "Hey-these are the people to call for cheap pressure washing".

I get some like that from time to time, I don't worry much over it, just hit delete.
On those days I'm kinda glad I have the answering machine.
