weird recommendation

[faithhealer]

Always ask where customers get my name from so I can thank whoever for passing me on. Today was a little old lady who told me 'Mary', told her to get me out to change her kitchen tap. 'I remember her 'I said, 'how is she'?
'She died last year', she replied!!!!

Yikes! :yikes:

I had a weird one about 4 years ago. A guy called me and asked to do some work in his house that he was building. He told me that he had seen my website and the book that I had written about Setting Tile. He then said so-and-so had recommended me highly. I tried to tell him that #1. I don't have a website #2 I have never written a book, about tile or anything else and #3 I didn't know the person that supposedly had recommeded me.

This guy was one of those types that is "On Transmit " 100% of the time and didn't listen to a word I said. I met him at his house (a mansion!) and he made it clear that he wanted top quality work and was willing to pay for it. I eventually quit trying to convince him that I had no website or book to my credit. :smilewinkgrin: I kept my mouth shut and we did about $30,000 worth of work for him and he was thrilled, paid immediately, and off we went. Go figure.
