It's harder for me to get to something that's already paid for. I need some
sort of carrot on the end of the stick for tuning motivation, and a stack of
fresh checks nestled against my posterior cheek at the end of the day seems
just right. Also, when customers have already pre-paid, they seem to feel that
they have gone to the head of the line, and have purchased the technician's
instant response at any time, for any reason - on demand - presumably forever.
I don't much like folks attempting to leverage me into doing things contrary to
my thinking and sometimes ineffective attempts at scheduling, so I don't do
this either.
