Sidney And Rebecca....just go away...
I just wanted to scream and cry out in frustration when my clients finally left.
At work I was given this older couple who needed to furnish their new Florida winter home.
Might sound like fun. Right?
After spending and hour with them at their home and taking measurements for their floor plans.
We set up an appointment to go over my presentation for their winter place.
I am going to refer to this couple as 'Sidney and Rebecca'.
Well... right before I left their home
we made an appointment to meet and go over the new plans together at 3pm the next day.
Oh Boy.....they decided to go and haggle
So, between the 3 phones to tell me that they were running late......
I was just waiting....I don't like waiting unless I am not prepared and need the time to get more organized.
But...I was just waiting.
When Sidney and Rebecca finally arrived it wasn't at all what I had planned.
NOTHING when smoothly.
NOTHING!!!
Rebecca was cranky, tired and indecisive
And ditto for Sidney as well..
After all...they just finished spending money they might not have wanted to part with. And I would represent the same thing to them right about now.
After 40 minutes of
'NO, that won't work."
'NO, I am too tired, I can't even think,
'NO, we have changed our mind about that layout."
'NO....on and on and on with the 'NO's'
I finally said; "How about you two go home?"
(or just get the hell out of my face?!!!)
"and we can give this another go on Saturday morning around 10am
when we all are feeling fresh."
They said 'yes' and I thought to myself ;
Oh goody, goody, goody!!!!!!
I can hardly wait!!!
