All the skip hire firms sound a bit thick.

If it was my company I'd undercut all the others, especially if there's at least an eight pound profit margin, according to the firm outside the area, who will also be making a profit.

Even if it was just a pound cheaper, I bet most of the people who phone around would chose the cheapest.

In retail, all the large companies employ spies, or secret shoppers, as they are more commonly called.

Besides checking on the level of service in their own stores, one of their other jobs is to check the price of their competitors.
