Business is picking up. I am getting job after job from word of mouth and people who just happen to have my card. I am just psyched. Just did a calibration and this guy was Blown away by how good his set looked when I was done. he said 100% better.

Glad to hear it! Let's face it. You didn't exactly pick the best time to go out on your own. But how could you have know how bad the economy was going to get. I hope the other aspects of your life are going smoothly as well.

Yes, some customers are going to be asses, no matter what you do. Recommendation: I assume that you are measuring and adjusting things like the gamma curve, color drive & cut settings, etc. Compile a before and after report of the settings and measurements. Don't let the customer's perception come into play... by having the report the customer knows exactly what was adjusted and how things were improved (before and after gamma and color curve plots, etc.). Most good calibration software will auto-generate these reports. This is also helpful in case of lawsuits (you have proof that you did the spec'd work).

Start thinking about add on sales. You have peoples attentions now, how do you take it to the next level. You are providing a service of course, but unless you are like a plumber that has 40 hours a week booked you can do more =)
