Saying no is a skill all to itself. Only so many hours in the day and some you want to spend away from work. If people cant wait then tough poop. Turned away 2 jobs this week, too busy and wouldnt wait. Wont be losing any sleep over them.
Just say NO 🙂

but you still went around and did the quote!! If I found out somebody was waiting for months and I had a chance to quote, I would be gutted that I turned it down without quoting, If I quote and they cant wait then that's fine!! wont loose any sleep over that!!!
I aint gonna waste my time doing an estimate for work I wont be doing. Which is why when I answer the phone I ask how soon. Then its yes I will price or no as I have no availability.
All depends on the source of the phone call. A recommendation will more than likely wait versus a cold call from advertising.
Still busy times and prices on the up 🙂

Bit of a case of do as I say and not as I do!!
saturday afternoon I get a call and chances are that it wont even get answered on the expectation it is an emergency call and I just cant be bothered!!
But I hate the thought of turning work down because that little job can turn into a big job!!
And that big job could be when I am quiet and could really do with the work
