Carpet installer:
Installing carpet is not brain surgery. You just need to give a crap what your work looks like. It amazes me how many people don't care. Everybody makes mistakes, if you care enough to fix your mistakes, and are talented enough to fix them, and the customer never knows, 5 or 10 years latter, doesn't know, that's the difference between a good, and a bad installer.
WOMEN This is at least half of the job. Understanding women/relating to women. Biggest thing you need to know:
I don't care if a woman is a stay at home Mom, or the president of a bank, The house is her baby. 99.99% of men just don't have the connection to the home. A woman's greatest fear is, she will make a wrong decision about decorating, other women will see it, and talk bad about her to the other women.
How to make my day longer? If both people work, it's always the man that takes off because there is "construction going on". After they make the third call, to ask what the wife wants, they usually just let me talk to her. The other good thing about dealing with the woman, men tend to try to bullshit their way through it. Like I said before, it's not brain surgery, but if you don't have a clue what you are talking about, then admit it. Women will admit they don't know, so I can just start out explaining at square one.
