Service Request Client Form

Effective Summer 2019

 

Hello and thanks so much for your continued support.  Be a long time customer or new interested client you are appreciated.  Please know I'm willing to give you my time, energy and best work possible.  In exchange moving forward I need you to give me five minutes of your time to complete this form.

 

I apologize if this is a turn-off, I do understand this is not for everyone and you have options.  However I have limited client availability, so if we're anything less than a perfect fit it's best to get that out now.

 

1.  Opportunity.  Here we have the potential for a great/unique dynamic of client/tech direct interaction.  First off please know everything here is me, from repair tech, lesson instructor, secretarial, service manager, accounting, tax, inventory, upkeep, webmaster, etc.  You are dealing with me at all times.  We are friends, either great or small.  I'm only interested in respectful interactions.

 

2.  Many clients.  I cannot work a hundred different ways for a hundred different people.  To overstate the obvious, what works best for me is best for me. 

 

3.  Time.  Assume my list of things to do vs. time to work on (your) gear is tight.  Please use my time wisely and minimally.  Message boards are out there as a "community" service;  people volunteering their experience and expertise at their leisure.  As much as I enjoy my clients I'm just not able to hang out during work hours.  It's critical I utilize this time to focus on the task at hand (something I know you'll appreciate when your job is completed in a timely manner).

 

4.  Communication.  Email is my preferred method and I keep my own hours.  Please bear in mind I have a family and like everyone require mental reprieve from my profession.

 

5.  Gear texting.  This doesn't work well for me.  Please assume I'm often occupied.  Hold off unless time related or quick answer.  We all love gear, none more than myself.  Email or simply text my email address repairs at echoluxe dot com.

 

 6.  Repairs:  I've been doing this since the '90s.  I have an extremely high success rate over tens of thousands of repairs.  Please be aware that due to unforeseen circumstances not all repairs go to perfection.  Should a problem subsequently arise just talk to me, I'm a quite understanding individual.  My aim is to work through it and make things right, to successfully get you to your gig.

 

7.  Music Store.  I fully understand this personal dynamic is not for everyone.  If you need a more store-like structure feel free to search that out.  I need all my clients to understand and also meet my needs too, as I'm perpetually working to meet yours.

I have read the aforementioned terms and conditions. Continue ____
