You'd posted here, got some free advertising, said you'd give some discount so I did genuinely wonder if you'd give a fixed discount to all. :)
Think you upset him Nikki :-/
The "D word" always upsets me when my customers ask for it (as 99% of them do) ;D
Taliesin... seems a reasonable question ;)
G :)
Think you may be right :o :)Quote:

It actually would have been fine to say something such as my prices are as low as I can get so I sadly cant discount them any further but can assure you of fantastic service etc etc (my favourite line) but he did mention he was going to give us discount and then seems to have changed his mind?
Wasted opportunity and not good publicity especially for a new business ;)
Ive got a bit of work needed but without a discount or managment of advertisment im not sure!
As it's a New Business venture, bit tricky to offer discounted prices. Perhaps build up a solid customer base & offer a discount to customers on a repeat business.
I disagree its a strategy used successfully by many new businesses.Quote:

Did have a smile when I read at the time some joker wanted a discount on an MOT which is around 25 groats anyway ::)
Very happy to recommend Taliesin as have had superb service at short notice for an MOT and will certainly go back.
'D' is only offered on bulk or transactions that price can be reduced---- one poxy mot is not in that category ::)
The original post on this thread did not specifically mention MOT discounts....it was on engine oils etc.
I get a discount at my MOT centre.......they want to encourage bikers to go there. Its not a WB discount though.
Noted Richie, although I do find it really strange that anybody running a business would drag up a six month old thread just to insult a forum member in public !Quote:

The truly sad thing is that as a new business you have wasted a good opportunity to promote your business for free in a positive way to a fairly large local market.
I personally think your response has been quite rude but enough said and people will make their own judgements.
All the very best to you :)

Common knowledge price varies from place to place with different offers on the go.
Anyway good that there is a place in 'Sham for bike MOT as Missens was not always available recently.

Where I go in Devizes they have an agreement with a bike club on price - I can't remember the name of the bike club. I just asked if I could get the same and was simply given it. To be honest I didn't ask for it last time as I have a bit of a laugh with them doing the MOT's (I like to get involved and the tester physically can't get on my GS) and its worth a couple of quid for the added info I get :)
Its the Hopton MOT centre in Devizes.
8-) Don't 'use' Devizes much so not heard of the place altho' use a sparky firm on Hopton Estate
