hey 1PEECBARETTA whats popping/.....film is not my problem... I have plenty of film, my fair share of work and I need help.... with in the last month I have had 8 cancellations in 2 months .. and I don't think I am over price, I am within -.00 to -.00 a sq foot

Free estimates and no deposits. But, I also have not had anyone bail on me.

First time it happens though, I will start taking them. Of course, most of my business comes from referrals, so I feel more confident in them to begin with.

(Resi jobs.... commercial - yes and yes. )

WHy on earth would you guys not take a deposit? I usually take no less than the cost of the film as a down payment. If they are serious about getting the film install, they should have no problem paying the deposit. I always give them a signed receipt as well. I always tell them, if you want me to put you on the schedule, you have to make a non refund deposit. Havent had anyone tell me no yet.

free estimates 30% down non refundable so their locked in and close right then and there it's hard at first but you'll

learn eventually what works
