[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I’m a contractor and I sell some of the services that power does,  my full price is about 1/3 of their full price.  I have had customers call me back to ask if I was absolutely sure that I had measured the whole job because it seemed ridiculously cheap compared to another estimate they got.

This is a very sophisticated market  with many highly educated people, I can’t believe that their tactics work.   If you call them for an estimate they will insist that you and your partner are present and they will make you sit through minimum three hours of a sales pitch; you will need to stand up and demand that they leave your house at least three times before they will do so.  The representative also likely  leave a heavy cologne vapor trail throughout your house.

it’s a sales model that has been going on since the 50s and I can’t believe that still works but it does, go on YouTube and you will see videos of their annual conference.  My conscience won’t allow me to rip someone off,  I make a good living but [b]they’re over there getting rich[/b].

Don't think so - they piss people off so they get significantly less customers. They may be making what you make. [/quote]

I played around with some math and I would need to do three or four jobs to make the money they do  off of one; I imagine the real score comes when they knock on that door and the lonely old widow opens it.

An old woman who lived down the block from my grandmother paid $60,000 for a chimney cap to some a-/hole who knocked on her door and said he saw a raccoon crawl in. [/quote]
