Well the other day I went to an elderly woman's house. She is a widow and was referred to us by her brother in law. We did his roof last year. I knew the sale was going to be butter (easy), because I score big time with referrels and elderly windows and put the two together and it's damned near guaranteed.
I got the contract with no hassel, haggeling, or really discussion of any kind; as I knew I would. As soon as I got the contract the instant shock hit me of "I should have charged her more!" But I didn't. I gave her a fair price because I don't believe in taking advantage of the dis-advantaged.
Is this a handicap in the business world? I have mixed feelings. I keep fighting myself over it. I have greedy grumpy on one shoulder and sunday school grumpy on the other. Greedy grumpy has been drinking all morning too
