Hacks and Craigs list... the solution to slow business...

Every time a customer says I am too high, I hand them a frig magnet and say to keep it. They look at me wondering what I mean (easy to see in their eyes). I just say, "Ya know... I have been in this business long enough to know what can and cannot be done for how much $$$. When (not if) it breaks, and you cannot find the guy who installed it, give me a call. It will not be cheap, however I will fix it for you."

You would be surprised the number of times I do get the call... few are more than 2 years out. I may start keeping a log of the folks I say this to... would be interesting to keep a 'repair hack install close ratio'...
