Tight wippen centers

Wim and Ric,

I disagree.  How can you get burned if you give the customer the full
story up front?

I try the easy thing first, since it is inexpensive, and my experience
has been that more often than not it does the job.  If one informs the
customer that you are trying to save them money and more extensive work
may still be necessary, you can still charge them if you have to go
"whole hog."

Think of a business which advertises, "We do it right the first time."
In general I feel good about businesses like that, but then I realized
that to make that promise they may end up doing three or four
procedures, just to be sure to solve the problem, when only one was
really needed.  And of course, you pay for all that extra work.  I guess
it comes down to knowing your clientele and being up front with them.

Regards,
Clyde
