Original message From: Porritt, David To: Pianotech Received: Wed, 16 Feb 2005 17:48:45 -0600 Subject: RE: 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. dave David M.
