Hi Mark,
Great name, that's my son's name and my middle name.  

I often wonder that myself abuot clients.  I'm trying to build the tuning business here, and it's tough.  I thought I blew my chance of even getting my card in a ladys hands today because she asked how I would get to where she was. I explain that I'm sight impaired and that my wife or the city bus takes me to my tunings.  I'm a quick wit so when another woman asked how far do I travel, I said, as far as my wife will drive me."  

I never tell anyone I'm new.  When someone asked me today about that old junky grand piano, I said that I'm obtaining additional training in the repair end of things etc... This way I treid to make it look as if have a business where I may obtain further training as a mechanic would etc.
