I had to bing it. I was taught long ago in school it was Piggly wiggly. Bing says a cat named Goldman invented it but he did own the humpty Dumpty and Piggly Wiggly stores.

I should have indicated that comment wasnât meant to be generalization. Pertaining to the situation above it held relevance. I agree with your breakdown, especially the first one. Nothing wrong with finding a good deal, I love sales. But I wonât sell myself short, especially to an arrogant money hoarder. âYou get what you pay forâ. That is something Iâve contemplated putting on my website, but canât even manage to find time to sort the countless before and after photos that I have and put them on there.

Iâve said you get you pay for to a few people and I usually lose the sale. I guess it depends on your area, but people in Columbia SC dont like to hear negative things (though that is usually most people).

Iâm pretty blunt, it is who I am. I retired from a job that used to teach us mental and verbal tricks to use on people. When you get into an area like this, sometimes you can use humor to ease their minds. Humor is a bit of a disarming technique. Maybe change it from you get what you pay for to an analogy of a bad job you saw that someone asked you to fix, but make it humorous, maybe one of the homeowner wand mark art impressionistic pieces or a pollock.

If youâre down to saying âyou get what you pay forâ, then 99% likely you already lost the saleâŚthatâs not particularly relevant statistics, lol

Completely agree. When folks come back shocked how expensive we are, or say something along the lines of, âI canât believe that, I am using to paying [insert 25%-50% of what I charge]â, I already know we arenât getting that sale. I donât take it offensively though, it just means that we are priced appropriately. We are booked out and people are saying we are too expensive⌠thatâs the sweet spot.
If I get those and they ask if there is something we can do to lower the price I just tell them something like, âI understand, but we are committed to paying all of our employees a living wage + benefits and we are priced accordingly. If we can help you in the future please donât hesitate to reach back out.â I feel that is sufficient.
