So, I have had a customer come into my shop requesting a price quote for shirts for the past 2 years. Each time I send him over a price quote, I get ghosted. He keeps coming in saying that we've done work on his ambulances (which we have not). I think we installed one little sticker on one ambulance about 5 years ago.
Anywho, he came in back in October claiming he needed to finally buckle down and get these shirts. and he wanted it dont by the end of the year. By November 20, after ordering samples and having a couple of his guys try things on (hoodies and drifits in tall sizes), I had an invoice sent to him. A month later, after not paying, I canceled the invoice. I was out money for the sample hoodies, but no biggie, I've got a big guy in here who can use them or I can sell them.
GHOSTED AGAIN.
Monday he called me up and asked where we were on this order. He wanted to place his order this week, no ifs ands or buts. I looked back and noticed I had made a mistake on my invoice. I made sure screenprinting services were the same price and the shirts were same price. I adjusted the invoice because the shirts went up in price. I sent a new invoice over to him.
His response: can you knock $500 off the price? I just can't afford that price.
I asked, "where would you like for me to knock off $500?"
his response: "just shave some off of each shirt".
My response: "i'll see if I can get you some cheaper shirts". I found some cheaper shirts and hoodies in the regular sizes, but the talls wont get any cheaper.
Mind you: more than half the order is 2xlt, 3xlt and 4xlt hoodies and drifits.
anybody got any lines on tall royal blue hoodies and drifits?
