When we have a begginer ask about tuition in the shop, we first tell them that the local club will offer tuition for free, however, if they wish to make appointments and learn from an instructor at a time suitable to them then they might try one of the schools,
You would be surprised at the amount of people that prefer to pay and control their time,
From a salesmans point of veiw if the customer knew he could get the sevices offered for free and still decide to pay for them, then the sale is well and truly closed !
Thanks,
Andy.
