Initial Consultation and Quote Process
Shane from the company visited the customer, Mike Stephen, to assess the possibility of installing a new patio. He was described as very helpful, which indicates that the initial communication was positive. However, Mike had to chase Shane multiple times to obtain the quote, which may have caused some frustration.
Quote and Change Requests
Once the quote was procured, Mike and his partner changed their minds about the flags they wanted to use. They had to request a revised quote, which Shane allegedly provided at the same price as the original quote, much to their satisfaction.
Communication Breakdown
Although the revised quote was agreed upon, the customer experienced a breakdown in communication when they attempted to schedule the installation. Despite sending multiple texts and making several phone calls, Shane failed to respond, leaving Mike feeling frustrated and wasted time.
Conclusion
It appears that Shane and his company had a promising start but ultimately failed to deliver due to poor communication. Mike is left wondering if they might have dodged a bullet by not proceeding with the installation.
