Cheers Bez....fully understand that Central Leads don't look at NPOI responses, but bet that Marketing do - or at least will if they get many of them.

The ****** who bought some of these 3 for £ 99 actually b*******d me for being early for the fit.I told him it was no problem because I had another appointment close by and would call back later. 'no' he says 'you might as well, now you're here'.So I carried the blinds and my tools the fifty yards to the house. After the fitting he had a good play with them and then announced that I may be called later if his wife was not happy. So you now know what the three for 99 is - (visits!) So on to the next call. This time it was 100 yards from the car. You've guessed another 3 for 99 !!!
Did I mention there was about four inches of snow at the time.

Did 3 call for 3 for 99 today.
First one measured after she told me she wanted the 3 for 99 offer then she tells me she can get them in Argos for £66 and will I beat this price. You can guess my answer.
Next one, three story house six windows all over 300cm long, wanted the 3 for 99 rollers. Then said it was a con when I told her the £15 surcharge. Trod in an old nappy left in the bedroom for god only knows how long.
Third one wanted three wooden Venetians about 250 cm ling each for , you've guessed it £99. And she lived 15 miles away from me so a 30 mile round trip for nothing.
And yes |I am another who puts No product of interest Red

Been a mixed bag for me so far.
I too get that sinking feeling when they show the 'magic 3' windows they want doing.
Today wasn't a bad day tho the 2 that did want it bought at £150 and the other at £195.
So far I've only had 2 total waste of timmers.
But I am lucky that the area I have mostly has good buyers who go for quality rather than just deals.

A3 leaflet is also showing "do all conservatory sides for £349". This is for a 3*3mt conservatory with max 5 blinds, but it doesn't say that. Had 2 calls in 2 days, 1 conservatory 6.5*4mt, reasonable bloke, thought too good be to true paid £690. Second customer, large L shaped conservatory. Checked with CLC, girl knew nothing about offer, so assume no size restriction. Another customer off to trading standards.
BEZBOZNY, if customer gets on to your dept. tomorrow, nothing to do with me this time.

greyvanman, No problem if they call us off their own back and I find it's a Marketing error I can always divert the call to them..........most probably I will just get a warm ear for ten minutes appologise 1000 times offer to give them one of my lungs as compensation or my first born child and then they will notice some crazy small writing at the bottom that has been smudged in printing that says *restrictions......... The best thing to do with these sort of problems is ask to speak with one of the Team Leaders yourself, you will be given the right info even if it takes a few minutes to get back to you

went out to a customer the other day & sold her 3 aluwood venetians order value of £368.80.
she had made the appt two days eirler. The day after she cancled the order & made another appt. so off i went although a little perplexed & confused,
It all turns out that Hillarys in their infinate wisdom sent her a at home mag complete with a A4 xmas leaflet , so sure enough the end result was 3 for 99.
Absolute insanity if u ask me.
