FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Not complicated, if it is complicated they are trying to hide something. You should be shown cost of material, cost of labor and time schedule.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes. The industry changes with new tools and material almost daily. Customers want the newest and hottest items to be part of the latest fad. We must know what those are and how to apply them to each customers need.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
As a kid I took apart everything because I wanted to know how it worked. In middle school we had a shop project. Everyone made pictures frames and cutting boards. I made a 7' tall grandfather clock out of mahogany with brass face, hands and pendulum. I knew then I would build things forever.
