Well yesterday was dead (I am running out of housework I can do!) but I already have three bookings for today which is about all i like to do in one day. I hope it stays like this Wednesdays are normally dead for me but I think i might start talking to the plants if it is quiet again this week!

so 3  nights in Reading, i made  profit,  not  like usual but better like nothing, but i had to many cancelations, like yesterday  one guy  booked me  for 6:30 even  made booking  via  aw and he had a lot  feedbacks,  canceled half hour  before  he had to stay  at   work,as usual the other  3 guys  what  wanted  same time could  make it  anymore,  just wakeup  should have meeting  in moving  before  checkout  (again  member  with feedbacks   etc ) canceled  he have  to go to edinburg   again had many ppl   asked  for the same   time  and i don't speak  about other 4 cancelations   durning the past two days, 

This is why I occasionally triple book when feeling the odds are stacked up against me. I double book mostly though and so far only a few showed at different times.I double booked yesterday and a good job top as felt he was a no show with all the texts after booking.  I wouldn't risk it if they all booked for the same time.

Luckily the triple bookees haven't clashed as of yet but in Belfast all this double booking up becomes the norm.This is what I am finding recently.

I used to get anxious over but business is business. And we can loose out financly with a no show after declining a booking for. I learned my lesson not to have them be rude to me.

A few clients are very well though a bit like doing a lot of sifting to find the good ones. It is very profiting here though one lady I recommended here and helped with advice. She is very happy, I knew she would like it here.

I don't feel risky to quadruple book yet lol. But Belfast is the place if so hence many no shows. It is a lovely city to browse through except some clients who are not punctual.

Luckily one is on his way who couldn't make it yesterday but he did let me know so is okay. Not expecting much today though.

One thing I always remember clients saying to me is that my telephone manner even if they did not book me was what made them reconsider me for a later date.  Telephone manner is always important in attracting new clients just as much as it is for us, well was for me.

I totally agree.
It's odd how some of them don't get it...

Even if they do not want to see you that day.  I have had clients tell me how if they do not make an appointment there and then the girls will tell them to Fluff off and that is a big no no.  Any phone call is a potential client at any time might not be that day.

Why do they all want to come at the same time?! I saw two clients over the lunch time period but had 5 more wanting that exact same time then absolutely nothing since 

Or maybe some do...?

During my short stint as a waitress, I've experienced plenty people who do just that. Fair share of folks just do not view people in customer service as actual thinking entities, methinks, and that includes our line of work.

How sad, but they do exist.  Luckily, I try to avoid socially awkward or steamrolling  type. E.g. Lack of manners, mutual respect, verbally insensitive etc.
