Once again I agree with Bubblecraft, using an iPad in all of the ways that have been described Is about customer service. I have found that this really works when a customer is also technically savvy, they are interested in how you use the iPad and it helps you engage with them. Often these are people at the higher end of the market with a bigger budget.
Look at a typical bathroom quote.
Arrive and discuss the customers ideas.
Find a couple of photo galleries of bathrooms similar to theirs and let them watch a sideshow while you are measuring up. In particular I like to show them the whole job stage by stage. It gives them confidence that you have done it before and that you know what you are doing.
Draw up detailed and to scale floor plan, this often leads to the project getting bigger, ie walls coming down etc.
Look at potential items to be supplied, either on websites or from previous jobs. For some reason people like to see how digital showers are installed.
Create a quote and email it to them together with the floor plan.
Finally take a deposit ( soon to be done via a virtual pin and chip machine app - have you looked at any Bubblecraft ) and email a receipt.
Done.
And no I do not have shares in Apple, but I wish I had bought some 20 years ago.
However like many Apple fanatics I cannot help myself when it comes to wanting tell everyone how great their products are. And yes I do know how boring and irritating it can be !, unless of course you happen to be a fellow Apple devotee.
PS still not been able to get near the iPad 3 properly
