Hiding Behind Email

It's been a while since I've posted and my apologies. Today I'm writing about something I wish to bring into the light... Ok, it's a rant.

Some male clients hide behind the anonymity of an email and I, as a professional, find it disrespectful and annoying.

A possible new client emailed today at 12:30 asking about an afternoon appointment. He did not give any option other than email to answer (red flag 1). I replied within 10 minutes that I had an opening between 1:30 and 3. He replied at 1:45 that he wanted to come in for an hour massage "right now". I asked him to call to confirm. No reply.

A former client (I fired him) with a habit of emailing to make appointments and canceling at the last minute, emails and doesn't reply for a day. So after 3 days worth of email tag, I asked him to call to speed the process. His reply was "I don't call. " That got him fired.

I appreciate that people have busy lives. That does not give anyone the right to disrespect another's time. This is especially true if the other is running a business.

Do not forget there is a person on the other end of that transmission.

I provide a service. I create a healing space. I take pride in my work. I will treat you with respect and ask for the same in return.

Rant over.
