<DIV>List, sorry to hear some of your tuning business is slow. It's hard on us when that happens because our bills don't slow down!  This type of situation is precisely why I have always advocated consistent marketing for our businesses. Not just when you get slow.</DIV> <DIV>That way, when these inevitable slow cycles occur, you'll have new business to replace the empty time slots. In addition to adding rebuilding and shop work to fill your time, I enjoy recommending Edwards string covers. It takes about 3 to 4 weeks to arrive after ordered. When they arrive, I fill the few empty time slots I have with cleaning and installing these covers.</DIV> <DIV>Hope things get busy for everyone,</DIV> <DIV>Bob Russell, RPT<BR><BR></DIV><B><I></I></B> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"><A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated href="mailto:Tvak@aol.com">Tvak@aol.com</A> wrote:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE cite=mid31.46627cfd.2da9542f@aol.com type="cite"><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT face=Geneva color=#000000 size=2 family="SANSSERIF">List<BR><BR>Anybody else out there experiencing an   e x t r e m e l y    s    l   o    w    Feb/March/now into April?<BR><BR>It's really been disheartening.<BR><BR>Tom Sivak<BR>Chicago<BR><BR></FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>Tom, April phone calls have been a little slower than expected..but it's been my experience down here that when it gets a little slower than expected, expect it to change at any time.<BR><BR>Keep your chin up.<BR><BR>Phil Bondi(Fl)<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
