Contract Tuning

Before I became full-time at the university I did give discounts to
teachers and professional musicians.  As my business increased, I found
that this was a mistake.  Over the years I reduced the discount to where
it became only a nominal discount to overcome this error.

The problem was as my skill set increased I had more and more teachers
and professional musicians as my client base.  While the new
inexperienced guys were out tuning at full tariff, I was running around
giving more discounts than getting full fare.  I thought that as I got
better I should be making more not less.  I wished I had not started the
practice of giving discounts.

I don't give discounts. I started to but where's my payback? I tell
teachers that call, when I hear their name as the person who referred
me, I will come over and tune their piano for free. It has to be more
than one but not necessarily as much as 10. This shows me who the
teachers are who care if their student's pianos are in tune.
