No trouble here fella, only thing to mention i ssome customers are shocked at the final price of materials etc, 48sqm of floating floor, imagine her face when Topps gave her a price for addy. The key is we build a quick relationship with the customer so if they go elsewhere for mats and tiles or say they don't want the approved system they stil use us to fit the job, just beware, DO NOT BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU, in other words don't poach the jobs from Topps the lads work on commision and you won't get many if anymore jobs, plus if yuour customer is confident in you they will use you whatever.

I had a customer blame me for the rong tiles becouse I picked them up for the customer and it was free delivery. An other wanted marble and dident want grout joints I did grout joints and it was rong he wanted it to look like one peace of marble.

The customer is trying to get the fitting side of thing for nothing well thats what I think. Topps well all they have said is there the ones on desplay and that how they are basicly they dont give a sh*t I havent been paid for the fitting but topps have been paid for tiles. good ant it.....

Thats why I don't like working second hand, The customer is told this that and the other. You turn up and have'nt a clue whats going on and no information to work on, And they did'nt want grout joints

If you are well in with atleast one person in the store you'll still get your cards passed out without being a TAF, so just work on someone if you can
