Since Friday I've been getting pounded with calls for fall cleanups and the fact that every person wants me to come out and give them an estimate is killing me.
How do you guys go about getting the job without having to drive all the way out and give an estimate? I've tried explaining that we don't charge by the job its priced hourly and due to all the variables its difficult to give an exact price, then explain we're a very effiecent crew with quality equipment that gets the job done as fast as possible. But they still want me to come look....
Back when I worked for the other company we didn't get too many new jobs, but when we would neither me or the owner would have to go out and check the job out first, the people would just automaticly want it done. I've had 2 people this year that said "just come and do it and bill me for whatever it comes out to" I wish they were all like that.
