Hi girls, so one of the things that bothers me the most are the ones who run over their time slot. I work in hotels and I use my phone as a clock, so I tend to stand it up next to the bed so it's visible to both parties!
If we've pretty much finished and just talking, I find it easier to wrap it up. Something as simple as getting up and putting some clothes back on whilst still chatting is a huge sign, and they tend to follow!
However, sometimes we can be in the middle of stuff. And it's not like I'm not aware of the time, but how do I suddenly say "oh sorry times up"!
Does anybody have a system they use to let them know it's coming to the end? I have tried a phone call and setting an alarm! Both can be abrupt and interrupting and of course it's better when it ends a little more naturally. When I had the phone call, I would pretend it's the next client coming soon because I didn't know what to say! But if I'm honest it's not me, nor the impression I like to give that I am so back-to-back like that! I like them to feel they are getting a personal service than a train 😂
And some of the responses with the alarm I thought perhaps that is a bit too regimated for this! Surely there's another way!
I am very thankful for the clients who are respectful of the time, to the point where they ask "how am I for time". You could be a 10 but as soon as it eats into unpaid time my feelings change!
So I thought I'd put it out there to see if there are any ways that might help me out here!
How do you tell them time is up? Especially how do you tell them time is up when you're in the middle of something where those are the LAST words they want to hear?!
TIA x
