I see a small amount of people every month.Some people then ask if i'm available for the next month and if we can book a date for then now.
E.G. LETS SAY I see 5 people this month (and 5 is my max) then this month 5 more people may ask to pencil in a date with me next month. Plus I have a few USP's that have proved helpful.
How was he treated badly?
Because I asked him to contact me in the last week of feb to discuss a booking in march. (i paraphrased that part) Is that the same as telling him. "I will definitely see you in March, lets set up an appointment in the last week?"
And nevertheless if he felt he had been slighted and he had misunderstand my message he could have explained it to me politely. There is no need for nastiness. I would be slated if roles were reversed.
(In addition he understood that I might not see him as his first response was a stupidly sarky "i'm not one of the chosen ones" or paraphrased to that effect) So your defence of his nastiness is unfounded.
He hasn't been treated badly at all. It's you that's been treated badly.
If he really wanted to see you he would've made sure to email you in good time to set up a meeting, he cannot be angry at you because you took on bookings from clients who emailed before him.
He's not a priority since he was only enquiring. I could understand if he made a confirmed and solid booking but he didn't, which means you owe him no special treatment and we all work on a first come first serve basis where if a client emails on Monday for a booking Tuesday he is more likely to get it than a guy who emails Tuesday afternoon.
I really don't see how this is your fault. He acted wrongly and got angry because he missed the oppurtunity to see you. I also get booked up quickly and see a small amount of clients.
Here's another scenario if there is a concert and you have to buy tickets and the ticket place opens at 9am sharp and you get there at 12pm and there are no tickets left is it the ticket sellers fault? NO! It's your own fault for not getting there in time to ensure you get the ticket.
Had he emailed earlier he would've been booked in, he can only blame himself. X
