The first time is like...well...it's kind of like having your teeth cleaned. :-)
 
But, seriously, do you have a mentor? It would benefit you to watch an experienced tech or pay him/her to come with you and look over your shoulder. Mentors are priceless.

I remember how excited/nervous/shaky I was when I went to tune my first grand after quite a few cheap uprights. What a joy to tune a nice grand after trying hard to get an upright to sound good and doing the best you can and not being able to make it agree with itself, but making it sound so much better than it did!

Nice grands just tune up so much easier, in my humble, newbie opinion.

at tuning Grand pianos, (when all they have had experience tuning is
Uprights), what should they do first?

Well, the principle is the same; think of the grand as just a tipped-over upright and you'll be fine.
