<DIV> <STRONG><EM> Hi AL</EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM> I like you Al. A
confident attitude is the only way to showcase a professionalism.
If more guys/gals would dress appropriately & give up the aw shucks
attitude when asked a bout price our professional capital would soar higher
than evenjust being a Rpt.</EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM> Nice post. Say hi sometime. Aren't you In
Garret Traylorgs area? Do I have the name right?</EM></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>What do your customers think your worth?............Do
you go to their home in shorts and a tee shirt in the summer? Do you go in
jeans in the winter? After speaking with you, do they feel you command
the price you charge? Do you dress accordingly? Again, only you can
determine that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>When someone calls to ask you. "What do you charge for
a tuning" ? Do you worry that you will loose them if you ask too much? Some
may call me a snob, but frankly, I don't want to tune their piano. Shop for
price when you know what you're getting. A car, TV, PDA, phone etc. You
don't shop for price when you're looking for service, simply because the
service people know what their worth.</FONT></DIV>
