Declining a Work Order

A successful business like yours will always want to take on jobs because you provide the best services. When work orders are received, you have the option for either accepting or declining requests based on your current situation. Situations arise where the need to decline offering services is necessary. Providing a reason for declining services allows you to be honest with your clients and not leaving them waiting for a response if services can’t be performed. You can explain the reason for the decline which allows your client to receive an update about the decline reason. This helps maintain the communication between you and your clients.
