I have a lovely client, dead nice, she books the last appointment (7pm) about every 4-5 weeks.
She didn't turn up so I rang her and she was appalled to admit she had forgotten and offered to pay. I got a cheque through the post a few days later. I emailed her to thank her.
So, she emails to say the date she wants her next appointment, I left a note for the receptionist to add it to the diary.
A couple of days later - the clinic lets me know that the appointment has already been taken. So I let the client know and offered her two other dates.
she asked for one, and yep! double-booked again. I remedied it by working an hour late and asking for one of them to take the 8pm, so she has got her original (7pm) appointment.
But I feel cr@p for messing her around albeit not intentionally, AND after her paying for her treatment that she missed.
Should I give her money off, or a little something as my way of apologising?
I saw her briefly last night and she was absolutely OK about it, and said she would see me next week for her appointment.
