I don't know if that's a good idea, if you're going to be in the trade you should be able to sharpen a chain without witness marks.
The potential for homeowners is great, the chain should be standard on all ALDI, LIDL, B&Q, and STIHLS with a black handle saws.

Yep I think that's a good idea - although may wait for them to come to us - so much easier that way and you know the person is then keen.

I think the operative word there is 'should' - if you saw what I saw day to day there is a massive variance of skill levels amongst the pros [that is putting it very gently - you would be shocked!]. I was pretty terrible at maintenance when I was full time on the tools. My chain sharpening and other skills only got good when I started selling stuff!

 

Also it comes down to what you are good at - I can't sharpen a chain well manually as my eye is not able to do it - I have to use a guide to get an accurately sharpened chain.
