Question 8 of 43

Have you ever discontinued service with a vendor or contractor? How did it go?

"I did end up discontinuing service from a snow removal company. They were never quick to remove snow from my shopping center's parking lot and I was always getting calls from my tenants about it. The company was also never quick to return my calls, so I did some research and found a new company. It was no big deal to end service with them. I was honest about my disappointment, but probably due to their busy schedule, they did not try too hard to keep me as a client. I moved on to a more competent company that I can depend on."
