Is it possible she's working with another sign company to see what the competitors are charging? Sounds like she just got a job in sales for some other sign company, and her first task is to "shop" other sign companies to see what they are charging. It also sounds like she's not going to have that job for longlady walks in and asks if we have a pamphlet with pricing. Well, no, we do custom work. I ask her what she was looking for for pricing and she says, "anything". I don't know if she wanted me to price her out for a hamburger or a yard sign.
She took up my damn time for nothin.

I had a client come in and ask if we had a "Parking for anesthesiologist only" sign (yeah, I had to look up the spelling). I said I'd have to check our stock--what color did she want? She said green. I'm a cynical smart-ass but try as I might I couldn't come up with an appropriate response.And your damn time would have otherwise been spent doing what exactly?
It depends on what they were offering?Had one ask me recently if I barter ??

I dont actually know. That might have been the case. She had her teenage daughter with her. I do know that we are on a busy road and many people come in saying they've always wanted to stop in.Is it possible she's working with another sign company to see what the competitors are charging?
