Need some help from the hive mind. What is the most polite way to tell a customer to go F themselves ?

The 2nd works decently well because you can (probably) back it up as a legitimate reason to the boss.

We have moved 8 times since getting married in July of 1974. Last time was 1988. Have at least one more move to make and not looking forward to it.
Ah... Didn't you just buy some property to build a new place on? Did you just give away the secret as to how you're going to finance that new build?? |

Nope, wasn't me. We probably have one more move (ultimately want to end up on a lake or "near beach" somewhere but we haven't done much about it yet.

Will you go broke without them? Can they ruin you in the industry with a couple of emails? Will you want their business back in the future? I could go on but you get the point.

But for reals, "I'm sorry but that was not in the terms of the original contract. We can certainly accommodate a modification, considering the extra cost" is usually enough to get them to back down Last edited by Spuds; 03-17-2021 at 04:06 PM. |

Customer-vendor relations... ugh. I don't have anything better than what the guys already suggested. Finish up with "Bless your heart?"

We have somewhere around 1000 active customers, we actually go through our contact manager and call them all every year and update info. Not all of them have our equipment but we sell them parts for their stuff. There are so few companies in my industry because it is so niche we try to do what we can to keep them, even if they are a PITA.
