Be oblivious

I’ve worked for myself for a few years in the service industry and due to me being oblivious to what people mean I save myself a lot of stress “Someone else told me they’ll do the same work for cheaper!” “Oh great! You should call them” “What?” “You’d save some money by hiring your friend. It’s great for you “ “But I want you to do the work” “That’s great too! When do you want it done?” “But my cheaper friend...” “If you want to schedule with your friend you need to call them and not me” “But the price” “My price is the one I quoted you for, let me know if you decide between me or your friend “ “.” “Hope it goes well for you “ 9/10 times i get a call back and 9/10 time I don’t understand why they tell me why someone else is cheaper. Lol

Inside, the building will feature meeting spaces and indoor gardens; outside, a network of pathways offers visitors the chance to scale a simulated Blue Ridge peak. See more at the link in bio.
