July 3 working back to Wally

Hi Wally,
Sorry to hear about you immediate slow time.  This can come and go .  I use
the phone a lot when it stops ringing to drum up business.  I also got into
my bench building and  now caster cups building to allow me to work on
something that will generate income at a later time.  You have to build it
to stock it and you have to stock it to sell it and the people have to know
about it to ask you if they can buy it.
	On Thursday I was on the phone when I got home having only 2 tunings
booked for Friday.  I first booked one in the early afternoon but was
trying to get a 8 AM one to start the day.  I got a chance to book another
one late in the afternoon, I try not to do that but I felt desperate.  That
made 4 starting a 9:30.  Still that early morning time would be wasted. 
Bingo, the phone rang with a person wanting a tuning and bingo into the 8
AM slot so I wound up with 5 instead of 4, one more than I care to do but
when you are desperate,, I accommodate.
Consider getting into peripheral things around the piano that also give you
talking points and things your clients to talk about to their friends and
spread your name in being "not just a tuner".  Have a great weekend and a
full week next week.
