I've been nice and busy over the last couple of weeks , what's odd is that they're  all new to me , not one familiar face ... And I have a lot of regular/semi regular clients .
Always good to extend the client base and they've all been rather sweet ( easy/friendly ) , but I do wonder where they're all coming from and what happened to my usual bread and butter 

I've been like that too, but this week so far has just been regs 

I’ve luckily had a few advance longer bookings with regulars, but if it wasn’t for them I really would have had the quietest few weeks since starting back 18 months ago. I never do “offers”, but I’ve got a slight discount on my hourly rate just for this month.
I’m doing okay but it’s still quieter than usual.

Had an overnight booked in advance, we even chose and booked a hotel together. Said he would contact me when he returned from abroad and guess what? Overnight date has been and gone and no contact.
I’ve turned down bookings (stupidly) because the overnight would have got me reaching my monthly goal.
Douche bag!
Been fairly quiet in my part of the country the last few weeks due to an influx of VERY cheap service providers turning up in groups.
Frustrating!

Just had a guy defer from 12.30 until 3pm even though he has been trying to get me all week, and nobody else has called today, this is the worst I’ve ever seen it in January! I can’t believe how bad it is

It is certainly true that you never can tell and to never take for granted the calls/bookings will continue to roll in forever.

The first week in January I took off as needed a break but I missed hardly anything! While I chose well in taking that week off I also thought oh no is this how the rest of the month will go?  Luckily since then I have made my targets and a little more.

***More new clients have booked*** me than usual and a couple of long lost ones resurfaced. One reg has booked me 3 times in 3 weeks but I have also had more than my fair share of time wasters too who did not pass my screening.

*** Two of those are not welcome back as they were a pain in the backside but thankfully not literally. 

Ugh, January's been a total disaster. Considering agency work to see if I can supplement the next few months

January is been dead for me ! I’m currently stuck in a hotel room ( touring ) and haven’t had a single client since I got here on Thursday! All time waster but hoping that today will be ok - I’m Futured, available today and all that nonsense but the phone Is still not ringing!
I just checked the competition and they are charging 30/60/90 including some extras that I don’t even offer 🤔 no way I’m matching those prices and services!
Must be girls on tour as I never saw those profiles before I got here - otherwise I won’t of bothered coming at all!
Just hope I manage to make my hotel and travel experience...

Yes I do hope you have had some luck today! Bad enough not making money but to have hotel costs too which make you out of pocket is so depressing. Worse is when you think stuff this and go out for a walk or some window shopping then miss a call or a booking.
