Client Lost, I think

[Fab Freak]

Bloody hell :cry: I was supposed to see an L&P client on 31st July but she cancelled 2 days before saying she had to work & would be in touch. But i've heard nothing since then,

Even more anoying is I bought a bottle of Solar Oil for her to be bought at this appointment specifically and as requested...

I know I will sell it to someone else but I have learnt from this and next time get the money upfront, I can't beleive how stupid I have been, nor do I understand why I have not heard from her!!

I did lovely nails - but hey thems the breaks

Don't worry about it babe, I had a client who did this consistently until I called her work and asked did she realise how much money I had lost by her messing me about, I expected to lose her as a client to be honest but she toed the line from there on in!

Dont be blaming yourself Lou, coz clients come and go and it may be absolutely nothing to do with you. I had one that loved the nails but had to cancel an appointment as she had some problems with her family and never ever came back. People get into a routine of appointments and once that routine is broken they easily fall out of it - does that make an ounce of sense :o

Thanks Dee, JoJo and Carole for your words...

You could phone her and ask her if she wants her sloar oil still. Then you could also asked why she never phoned for another appointment.

i think yellow pages is the best value for money advertising, what else gets kept for a whole year. i seem to be getting a steady flow of business from my ad, unfortunately not all of them are long term comitments, many just treating themselves for holidays or special occasions. still, better than nothing and once they have your card to hand, you will be the first call for the next treat.i did prince williams cousin a few weeks ago and she found me in the yellow pages . our y.p comes out in april, do they vary around the country ? also, nailtechs are lumped in with beauty salons here but we are getting our own category next year, does that vary too ?

Its so hard to get new clients sometimes, and then when you do a good set of nails and they don't come back it knocks your confidence.

I know alot of people only want them occasionally but i find they won't say that, but i do find they will come back to you at some point.

Also i think if a client mucks you around they aren't worth having either. Good luck in getting more clients, i'm hoping to get more as well.:|
