Years ago, like a decade, when I was full of piss and vinegar, and had 100 or more residential accounts. And believe me when I say I brought up the issue. Blast dog shit across your face at 70mph, you'll let know whats up

Not an issue now days, I've got mostly commercial contracts that usually come with the owners well maintained property, in really nice neighborhoods

My reputation lands me these gigs. Had a call yesterday asking me to throw in a bid, as the people who took it from me originally, by under bidding, did garbage work. Nope.

I've been doing this twenty years now, holding the same contracts for the better part of that time

Yelp, lol

If I was hiring a professional, I'd definitely check Yelp -- and I bet I'm not alone.
If you are listed on Yelp and never read what customers say about your business, you are a fool.

had to go to court today (minor shit, no worries) and of course i got up to frozen pipes, so had to go to court needing a shower and a shave...and the funniest thing was i wasn't even close to the scruffiest looking person there....these people looked like extras from "night court"....a fat ugly couple that was very affectionate to each other.....and i kept hearing something that sounded like a squirrel chittering coming from them....still trying to figure out wtf that was.
some lady out in the hall with two squalling kids, waiting for her boyfriend to get done......
a bunch of "lawyers" representing themselves....which means they were wasting everyone's time trying to bullshit the judge, who wasn't even slightly amused by them.
and i got out just in time to sweet talk a meter...woman...(i aint callin a 4 foot 9, 350 lbs. 40ish wombat a "maid" ) out of a parking ticket.....but now she has my phone number.....wish i knew how to type an emote for shuddering

A skunk with the trots once unloaded on me. I was 13 I think, and mama was visiting the house of a friend who cared for sick&injured wildlife for Audubon.

Skunk soft-serve smelled bad. Not skunky, just sick-crappy.
My hurl moment came during a camping trip. Th place the tent stake had to go was the burial site for old dog poo. It had fermented into a foamy mess with maggots. ~hurl~

Your success speaks for itself, but listening to customers is always a good idea IMHO.

you're right. I liken the people of which I speak of as the people who go to a restaurant, eat 80%, then complain it wasn't good enough.

I absolutely bend over backwards for these commercial accounts. I'm not as arrogant as my replies may have made me out to be

No one is shy about calling to complain. So I indeed hear what they have to say, and listen closely.

I'm probably in the best spot I've been. I do whatever it takes, even when I get a 3 am phone call asking if we'll be there to push snow.

I'd put it in the contract and charge by the pound for scooping poop.

Got a frigging busted pipe in the wall from the 14 degree weather yesterday. We have the wall boards off and see the break. Easy fix but we waiting till the weather at least reaches freezing to go out and fix it. Maybe in a few hours. Hopefully after today the weather in the teens will pass and we get to normal winter.
