Customers commonly desire improved comfort, health, safety, property, and financial situation.

Which Contractor Best Meets Your Needs Questionnaire in Microsoft Excel

Typically, when a customer does not sign, obtain the Which Contractor Best Meets Your Needs? Introduce this 20-questionnaire to the customer as a courtesy to our clients. This questionnaire helps the customer not get damaged by using an unworthy contractor. Nine out of ten times, the customer will not even get past the first five questions. For example, question 4 asks, “Do you perform drug testing to screen employees for hire?”. Simply explain to the customer the following. Suppose a contractor comes on your property with an employee under the influence of drugs and gets hurt. In that case, they can sue you personally for allowing them to work on your property stoned. Ouch. Why is this an important question to ask?
