How do you guys handle too much work? I'm booked until Xmas at this point, I can't take anymore work. The problem with people when I tell them this, they have the audacity to say "well can you still give me a price? We're just trying to find out how much its going to cost" or "you still give free estimates don't you?" im thinking of either just telling them I'm not giving estimates or tell them I will start giving estimates again around October.
Some people actually get upset that I'm not going to give them an estimate, I can hear it in their voice, They act like I owe them a price.
I have been getting about 7 or 8 calls a day, I can't possibly give estimates for that much volume, nor do I want to be any bigger then I am now as a company. I was also thinking of putting a message on my answering machine explaining this. It's pretty annoying to get all the phone calls during the day, especially since I can't really help them.
