Wim, List, For some reason unbeknownst to me, paying bills and/or being hungry for business has never been an issue in my life. "No brag, just fact." (Will Sonnet) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061259/ I basically tend to keep the spread between what I owe and what I might make far apart from one another. And continue to do so today, even more so. This eliminates having to changing tactics, so to speak, as that is my tactic. For the record tuning and repairing pianos is a calling for me that happened to become a business career. So I really don't understand the concept of trying to get business. It just happens where I am. If it didn't happen that way, something else would eventually materialize for me to do. I do realize that this isn't the case for some where tuning and repairing pianos is a business rather than a calling. I also know that there are numerous, necessary budget scenarios for others of which I don't certainly call into question. Everyone has to work out their own particulars when what they are experiencing don't pan out.

But when 75% of the calls you get don't set up an appointment because they don't like the fee you're quoting them, and you're hungry for business, then you have to change your tactics. > Wim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
