how to politely ask for a raise

[Willem Blees]

Next time you give them the bill, just put in the a new amount. Someone might ask about it, but I would venture to guess that they will just pay it.

Subject: how to politely ask for a raise



I have been tuning for a church twice a month for a year+1/2 without even a slight increase in fees.? I don't want to lose this client.? They like my work, we have a good communication and rapport....but I feel a slight increase is warranted with increased advertising costs, travel expenses and so on.

?

How would you handle this??? Or...would you just leave the situation as it is?

?

Thank you,
