Agreed,

 I get far more useful business from the vehicle lettering. Professional 
vinyl lettering as well, not the magnetic signs. The phone book works to 
a degree,  but it is almost always a price checker. If I take the time 
to explain what RPT means ( I don't think I would have to explain it if 
it were Certified Piano Tech) and give them an idea what the price range 
is in this area, I typically get the business. I do not pursue other 
Technicians customers at all, they are my friends and I would be very 
uncomfortable with that approach. Also, for some unknown reason, a 
number of piano teachers in the area are recommending me, but I have had 
no contact with any of them.
