Posted May 23, 2018 Ok Ladies! Would you consider it rude if a gentleman wants a seemingly endless conversation with no intention of booking you? What is the etiquette for conversation? Maybe I just haven’t had my coffee yet and that’s why I’m aggravated? I need answers 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 23, 2018 We sell our time as a business. That type of behavior from a client is like ignoring a NO SOLICOTING sign in the window. They fucking know better 😂 Especially seasoned clients. Newbies can have a warning for good faith but they also should know better. They came to our neck of the woods for a purpose, there are other places to go for endless chatter, or they can pay for it. 🤷🏾♀️ So don’t worry, you don’t need coffee to know that. 😜 XxKae Marie 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 23, 2018 All any of us have to sell is our time, I think in any professional context this is kind of inappropriate. I'm a software engineer but if a client called just to chat I'd start running the clock. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 23, 2018 First, get some coffee. Then just ignore it for an hour or two: always have the out that the phone was off, with a client, was running a personal errand, doctor appointment, etc. Maybe will bore him since not endlessly responding. And then, send a reply along the lines of "Gotta go, but when ready to book, please give me a call". And if they still persist, block him. It's like everything else in our constantly connected lives: prioritize. Important people maybe immediate reply, otherwise, respond back when convenient and or right frame of mind. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2018 I guess I am a bit backwards? I enjoy conversations with my regular clients. I sometimes ask their opinions on what think (various topics) you name it. I say do what feels right for you. Because there is no wrong answer. Now one thing that might get me a little ruffled? Would be someone just dropped by unannounced and not invited. Mostly.due to living a very private life. Much like that of everyone else who pretisptes in the hobby. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2018 Something about Mercury in the first house of Gemini! Dammit sometimes I have a strong need to be verbal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 26, 2018 I’m not talking about clients I’ve seen before and had a great time. I mean a complete stranger lol In any case, our conversation would be much better in person anyway 😅 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for the clarification Jasminewaterss7. Talking in person is always much better! I whole heartedly agree 100%! 😎💕 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2018 Sometimes a lot of conversation is just a front for a newbie getting up his nerve too. If it is causing problems simply direct it elsewhere. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2018 In my experience, usually when a client wants to chat and “get to know me better” before scheduling an appointment a few days away... they all seem to cancel and I feel like I got somewhat played for my time and attention. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2018 I like conversation, getting to know you But Action Speaks Louder Then Words And Bullshit Walks MONEY TALKS🤗 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 30, 2018 Jasmine you are just too nice! It seems the BP ladies did not waste much time before asking what time I want to meet--you could probably ask if he intends to book an appt. I do like to build a little rapport and there's some things I need to ask first to see if we'll be a good fit but I do try to get to the point quickly and not waste her time. I do like a little flirty chatting once the appointment is confirmed and we are definitely going to meet. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
