[pianotech] Piano Repair Promos

[Steven Hopp]

Hi Chuck,
Please send me the promo information.  I've been busy getting to the action portion of the Steinway M I am doing.  Last night (late) I finished the stringing and feel much better.  Ordering today.  It would be great to have a detailed article on hammer boring....maybe not top on the list for all but a thought.
Here is the info to send:

Looking forward to the next Steinway vertical installment.
Cheers,
Steven

>Hi all.



I signed up for his repair promos. This is something I have

thought about doing myself on more than one occasion. From

what I see from the first promo, I'm looking forward to the

rest of them. Thanks for doing the work for me!



Good work Chuck.

Thanks for the comment Phil.



Although I will be writing these promos as opportunity presents 
itself, I would welcome a list of say a dozen topics which you would 
find particularly useful. I'll be asking everyone who signs up for a list of their 
preferences, and will really try to be looking for pianos which fit the 
bill for the topics that technicians would most like written up. (What I 
need, of course, are the pictures. Although I have extensive photo files 
for topics I've written about for Schaff and the Journal, common repairs
 that I do all the time often don't get photographed. That will have to 
change.)



I predict there will be some customers of mine who get a pretty sweet 
deal on a repair job, if they have a piano needing a job I would like to
 shoot photos of. Everybody will be a happy camper. 

By the way, for you technicians who have not looked into this opportunity as of yet, you are still welcome to sign up. You will receive, at no charge, a personalized promo for bridle strap replacement. I'll include a copy of the subscription packages that are available for you to consider.


This is not, by any means, a limited time offer, so you are not out if you wait. You are, however, missing out on an opportunity to start utilizing a valuable tool for increasing your business. (That is, if the need is there to add to the volume of work you have coming in). 


If you would like to sign up for the free personalized promo on bridle straps, just send the following information to me at behmpiano at gmail.com and I'll return the first complimentary promo to you pronto.

1. Name
2. Business name 
3. Business (or home) street address
4. City, State, zip )
5. Phone number/numbers l])
6. email address 
7. website address 

By the way, if you need a super small file size sent (so sorry about that Joe) because of the speed of your computer, let me know and I'll send a highly compressed version that should be acceptable for even someone with dial-up service. 


One of the most valuable aspects of these promos, I believe, will be in the secondary sales talk that often goes on when the primary player of the piano talks to her (or his, as the case may be) spouse about having the work done. Oftentimes, I've had jobs I've given an estimate on that have gone undone because, "Larry (or whoever) doesn't think it needs to be done." If only the spouse who played the piano had some well-designed sales material to present, many of those jobs might have been contracted instead of lost.


But maybe I'm the only one who has had this experience.

Anyway, drop me a note if your interested in seeing what I have to offer. I guarantee that if you enjoy my series in the Journal and / or my articles on the Schaff webstore, you will like this. 


Finally, if those of you who have gotten the initial promo already would be so kind as to comment, I would appreciate it. Thanks a bunch!  Chuck

P.S. Go Cyclones! What a game last Saturday! You Huskers out there, did we show you a good time, or what?  What a way to end the series. (No one left the stadium early, I can tell you that!) Good luck, Nebraska, in the future. I only wish the series didn't have to end.  Chuck
