The Downside of Driving a Hard Bargain With These Cleaners
It’s a common scenario in our over worked stressed out lives. You want to have more free time, so you make the decision to hire a company to come in each week and clean your home.
So you interview a couple companies and settle on one that seems competent. All seems good. Then you remember what your father used to tell you about driving a hard bargain, so before you agree to hire them, you “squeeze” them on price as far as they’ll go. In fact when all is said and done you can’t believe the price you negotiated. It seems to good to be true.
Well, in the case of these cleaners, it was. Watch and see what happened….
Most people aren’t cheapskates with baby sitters because they innately understand that these important caretakers will likely only treat their children as well as they are being treated themselves. This is true in all aspects of business and its especially relevant when hiring cleaners to come in, unsupervised, into your home or business.
Most cleaning companies are honest and reputable and would never do what these people did. But, hard negotiating, beyond what would be considered fair compensation is often penny wise and dollar foolish endeavor. That’s my take, but I’m curious….what do you think?
