I wouldn't say that. I think as Wim said, many can't tell whether you've given them a good tuning or not and I'm sure Wim produces a quality tuning. People do or don't call you back for a variety of reasons but whether you tune aurally or with an ETD is probably very far down on the list if it's on the list at all. For most people it's whether they respond positively enough to you to have you come back into their house. While the quality of the work you deliver certainly counts, people skills and just the chemistry of what takes place between you probably counts much more for many if not most people. With respect to this silly ongoing debate about aural versus electronic tuning the skill set should be separated from the business outcome. The competent electronic tuning associate member with good people skills will out draw the RPT without them every time.
