    I… what tips and tricks does this person think they’re going to get? You either sell the car, or you stop bringing it with you. There’s no third option. Is disguising it a third option? Wrap it in a little rubber chicken costume?

    People would ask questions like this in reddit AMAs all the time, too, and I just don’t understand the impulse to ask strangers online before you’ve thought about it yourself even a little bit.

      Those are the obvious practical options but the real solution to this problem is to firstly embrace the notion that people with differing views to yours are not necessarily idiots and secondly make a genuine attempt at understanding why customers could find a mere choice of vehicle abhorrent enough to choose another roofer.

      I mean, when customers are leaving, it’s a great time to learn more about your market and in the attempt you might grow as a person.

      Because they don’t want actual advice, they want to see their opinions underneath your username so they feel validated.
