The other day, while talking to a prospective client in Newtown, Connecticut, I heard the story of a contractor who had dropped the ball. My prospective client had talked to a carpenter about work in his home and never received an estimate. It had been a week since he left his last message asking the contractor for a follow-up call.

Every time I hear this story it amazes me. Usually the person telling the story has both the want and the financial means to hire a contractor to complete the job. They just need a knowledgeable and responsible contractor to do it.

Don’t get me wrong. Some jobs aren’t a good fit for contractors or their schedule won’t allow them to complete a job in a timely manner.

A simple call saying, “Thank you but this job is not a fit.” While uncomfortable, it would leave the contractor in a good light with the opportunity for future work at best, and a lack of negative talk about his company at the worst.
