I had to write four differant bids this week. I was just wondering is it just in my area that people are dragging there feet really bad. I figured everyone was all locked in for the year. I am guessing it's because we have not really had a good snow yet so they are in no hurry around here.

Sometimes they may already have a service provider but they are just doing theyre homework, checkin the prices out there. If buddy screws up y ou may be the next in line.
Happened to me twice this past weekend-not happy with the provider they signed so I got the call.

I just handed out 3 contracts today and got 1/2 season payments. People waited for snow to fall this year hoping it wouldn't. And I got 3 last week after the snow because there guy never showed up. I am full and handed two others off to other guys in the biz.

I think they are all just hoping it doesn't snow. I have picked up 4 new lots, and 1 old lot this week as well. I kept telling these people that they can hope, and wish the snow away, but it's gonna come no matter what. Oh well there goes all that extra early signing discounts right into my bank account. lol
