honesty is the best policy. i tell prospects and customers that i will
do my best and am willing to cancel appointments for scheduled
maintenance in order to assist with an emergency. no one can make
guarantees that your child won't get sick or whatever. you can
definitely say what you will do and do what you say, though.
personally, i haven't had letterhead paper in the nine years i've been
in business. i someone requests it, conjure up a logo and put it in an
open office text document. done.
good luck.

What's a good way of stating in the bid what I can do? I don't want
the customer to get alarmed that if he goes with a single person
business, that the installation could be down for a long time. The
customer has only ever talked to me and I don't have letterhead paper
etc, so he should have figured out that I'm just a small local
operation. I haven't told him that I have a full time job and I do
projects like his to earn extra money.
Thanks Joe
