Reply to price-shoppers without losing your temper or your time
The problem
"The last guy did it for £12" is a conversation that goes nowhere but eats a free hour. A calm, standard reply that states your price once and leaves the door open filters out haggling without making an enemy on your own street.
What AI does
AI drafts calm replies for people who say they've found a lower price or only want a one-off clean, based on your lowest price and what each visit covers. You save them and move on.
Time
The steps, in short
