My job as contractor almost everyday meet many different strangers to solve their problem.

One word of advice for u all.

"Be polite."

Really important. Although u are paying good money for my expertise to solve your problem. Know that u are the one having problem u need my help. Talk nicely la. I am obligated to help, but please make it easier for me to help u. Start by being a decent human being.

Also PLEASEEEEEEEE. try not to badmouth your previous contractor no matter how bad the job (very subjective). Especially not when i meet u for the first time u already start complaining how the previous one no do good job, this and that. Experienced contractor will take this as early sign of problematic client will automatically raise the quotation price 10% at least. I call this type of ppl "streetfighter" because they treat life like game keep fighting everywhere they go. Very hard to please this kind of ppl that always think bad of others, to them the whole world cannot wait to grab money from their pocket while giving nothing in return. I usually quote very high price hoping they say no, somehow this type of ppl like it when being quoted expensive price. kek. If u are rude and cheap together, they start haggle i will tell them to find someone else.

I thank my parent for giving me enough FU money as financial security. I do not have to sell my own self-esteem to please the wrong ppl.

Terima kasih mom and dad.

boss...
u home reno contractor ka?

Is they need your help? Or u need your money? If it's the former, just f them off la instead of open tered here

B40 contractor sure gets B40 client lo haiya

there's a saying that goes, "1st learn how to be a human before u learn how to do business."

Ahh cheh.. Actually TS just wanna say he father rich

Then i feel Kesian for Customer Service Centre staff. Always kena kaw-kaw diao by customer. It's not CS staff wrong. But claim misleading la, Ah kong Ah ma story bla bla bla

It takes one to know.

Have you ever been polite to people here ?

Kecian. TS kena marah by client lettew. Can't do anything except open tered to rant.

deswai i try to diy as much as possible

dun like to deal too much with ppl

i would surely complaint about the previous contractor as a heads up for you not to do the same shitty job otherwise you got no chance to take this job in the first place if the previous contractor did a good job

Do lousy work expect to get rave review

Ok noted.

Apa contractor you work as? Interior one?

I want cheap but nice work can? I am decent human

if u want ppl be nice to u then be nice to them ini tarak firstly met them then charge higher ini makan ppl money dy tu panggil nice?

My tiler charged me a whooping of RM29k to redo a 1000sqft space excluding flooring tiles materials which i need to provide myself.

Obviously the quotation are included to let me diao 9 them when they not even paying attention installing the thing by charging me a hefty sum of monies.

If you want untung, of course can, please provide good workmanship. That's what i told my previous contractor.

Kecienz TS, give one donut.

so TS is good contractor or not? macam terpaling angkat own balls blow until up sky.

ya, mine almost the same
before dapat quote come and say silly stuff d
i mark up super high because dont want their business also

My price actually T20 range. But in B40 area. lol. Last time memang B40 price so attracted a lot B40 customer, then during industrial meet up listen to them veteran who gave me best sage advice. DO NOT thin down your margin in order to attract business volume, u attracted all kind of cheapskate ppl who are known to be fickle minded. B40 crowd is the hardest to please. They are very vocal ppl, dumbfuck who function on hive mentality. Cannot reason with them punya because they think with heart not brain.

Luckily my dad also teach me a lot business advice. My poker face is actually very good. i think...

Ya. I am very glad about stuff he provided. Although emotional neglect is maximum. But financial support is also maximum. no complain there.

This is very true. I always treat CS stsff with respect. My best tactic is smile smile joke together with them. Always let them know i understand the sop, they are required to ask dumb question and usually has a set of procedures to make the customer go through before they can escalate the issue further up the line. My IT friend told me they have Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 support etc. Cannot cincai escalate or their KPI kena fuck.

F&B time i always look at them in the eyes and say THANK YOU for whatever. To let them know their job is not entirely thankless.

Poker face u know?
Internet time u dont have to keep up the facade. Main reason i am here is to release some steam. Some ppl go home bully wife n kids. I choose to bully ktards. huehueheuhe

then ts call people sohai is not rude ?
