how to politely ask for a raise

[Larry Trischetta]

Bob... excellent insight.  I'm going to sell more piano tunings. then I'll
have more pianos to tune.

Thanks

Larry Trischetta

(my wife does a lot of bookings over the phone and this will certainly help
her approach).

The key to being comfortable raising prices is to have a strong system in
place that ensures repeat business and generates new customers.   If the
phone doesn't ring much, it's hard to raise prices, and some might even drop
prices thinking it will bring in more business (big mistake).   Marketing
skills are gained with time and experience, just as tuning skills are.  A
successful tech usually is a good salesman and marketer.   I don't make my
living from tuning pianos....I make my living from SELLING piano tunings.
Granted, market conditions must be taken into account, but a tech who can
create greater value from his service can also charge more for it,  and a
good solid service will ensure repeat business and referrals.    Bob.
