When you have given someone a quote....

For a new boiler and not heard anything back.
You then get a missed call and an answer phone message from that person. You listen to it expecting a question or to hear you got the job but instead they think they have called another person and are asking for a boiler quote.
Do you:
leave it
Ring back and explain
Ring back and pretend to be someone else

what ring back with a Scottish accent or something?
id ignore it, if they are getting different quotes in they are just doing what 90% of all customers do! the other 10% just like having a chat.

I was thinking stick on a fake beard and pop over to do another quote, see if they notice

 

[Killy Bing]

Haha, i like confrontation, i view it as a sport.

i would turn up, clock youve already given a quote, ask if they lost it or thought you were too expensive.

put em on the spot

 

[Ermintrude]

I would leave it. Waste of time. Wait few weeks get a dolly bird to call them , offer stupidly good deal ........ Never show up on day !

 

[lame plumber]

ring them back and quote 50% more than yours over the phone as you never do visits as the blooddy custards always go for someone else anyhow

 

[AWheating]

phone them back in an accent and say " i can give you a quote but to be honest "your name" does a neater job for less money"

In all seriousness you could be on to something, but instead just say I'm actually injured ATM but can recommend someone to you who is very reliable brilliant etc and worth every penny then give your own details

I had a woman keep emailing me long after a quote asking when I was coming back to fit the radiator or something like that.

i never replied, bloody idiot. Glad I never got the job.

I had a phone call asking when I was coming back to refit the cistern I had removed. No idea what that was about as I hasn't removed any cisterns or quoted for any works involving the removal of a cistern.

 

[Toxic Ted]

Had a previous custard send me a text saying i was late and what time was i going to be there. I phoned her to explain she wasn't booked in for anything but before i could say anything she said "its ok your boys are here now"...........funny that as i work on my own.
