Can clients read.

[Kyran]

IS it me or can clients, people asking for jobs to be done not read.

Or do they just think will do the job/work for free and a laugh.

You brake down/list the cost to different job they have asked you to do. lest say three jobs (for this example) they then only won't you to do one of the jobs that you quoted on. you say fine do the one job charge them for that one job and they say ooh thats not we discussed i thought that was part of the previous jobs you done.. (repeat client)

NO that why sent you a quote for new works you asked for.

Iam not a ******* charity..

any one else

I think he's over compensating for the ease and simplicity that his previous enquiry was responded to!

Then a simple piece of advise.
Type you message into a word processor first. That will take out at least some errors.
It won't fix won't when you want want but it will possibly help some.
Then copy it into the message board.

I'm not taking a pop at you. You are certainly not alone.

Back to the OP.

Go back and read the estimate / quote you sent the client and see if there is any ambiguity - and if there is just make sure that you don't repeat the error on future estimates/quotes

 

[telectrix]

ambiguity? never fitted them. are they a new type of kitchen accessory? :ack2:

No offence taken teken. I m old enough for it not to both me. I do with quotes but I was just have a quote rant after the email from the client.

 

[davesparks]

If the quote etc is as poorly worded as the OP then there is every chance the confusion has come from there rather than the client's inability to read

They certainly are, but I can never understand them, to confusing.

 

[ipf]

The odds are they CAN read and decypher.........just don't want to pay any more!!
