[QUOTE="Steve3948, post: 347211, member: 2497"] We all learn by our mistakes. When I first went self employed I was asked to quote for a rewire, the guy said phone me tomorrow with the price. The next day I phoned him with the price and he said can you start Monday, this was the Thursday of week before. Not wanting to lose it I swapped work load around and said yes, he said don't bother sending quote it's all good see you next Monday. Did job and the guy offered me 50% of what we agreed and said if you want the rest you will have to take me to court. I went to court and lost, main problem was I could not show materials booked to job, now when we purchase materials they all have job reference on priced invoice from merchants. Never made that mistake again, even the smallest of jobs have written estimates or quotations, and we accept no job without written confirmation from client. [/QUOTE]
