Cancellation etiquette?
- Thread starter BonerHardBiceps

Aren't you a darling! But not to worry, 2 callers have already taken care of that for you (and both were for 2-hour visits). One, due to domestic challenges beyond his control, and the other, due to the sniffles...sigh, this biz has quite a variety of challenges (as does any business, I suppose).
Well said. Absolutely agree, however, if a man does decide to he wants to go to his first choice anyway, then just call and cancel the 2nd choice booking saying sorry can't make it after all. Why you can't make it is of little interest and the less said, the better. We don't care why you can't make it and seldom get told the truth anyway so just skip the explanations.
This may be true but most people do feel bad about cancelling, so I can understand why they want to share the reason. Having said that, the reason may not always be completely true, due to privacy issues and lots of other reasons. But it's OK with me if they give me a reason. As I said before, anything to keep the lines of communication open and to, hopefully, have a visit in the future.
One of the clients who had to cancel today has been by to see me over 20 times. I know he's upset about having to cancel, so I'd rather be empathetic, and listen to the story, than be annoyed!
Some excuses I have heard
"I have to go pick up my wife at the hospital."
"My co-workers dad died and I have to cover his shift."
the ever popular "I just got called into work."
"My mom called and...." And I did not even let him finish the sentence.
Some may say it is part of the job. Why do you think there are more walk in clinics these days when you try to see a doctor. Ever worked in a dental office? They have problems with no shows all the time. Even some nail salons prefer walk ins over pre-booked appointments.
The point is life happens, or your #1 choice does gets back to you. Like Alex mentioned. Just CALL! No need for an excuse. "Something came up", "the traffic is terrible I just can't make it today". Just some suggestions.

I'll weigh in here, FWIW. Despite the fact that I am over 45, I am new to the business. At first, I was VERY upset every time I had a NoShowNoCall...I took it quite personally. Now, not so much. I recognise that some individuals like to chat and string a Talkative Tammi like me along. They will book an appointment then ask leading questions like "What kind of fantasies can we play out together...?" Don't waste my time telling me you want an appointment when all you're looking for is an entry in the spank bank. Admittedly, it tends to happen more in the cougar chasing youngun demographic. Seriously, all I need to hear the next day is "Sorry, I'm going to have to cancel because XYZ..." If it's plausible, and you seem like the sort of gentleman I enjoy seeing, I'll generally give you one more chance before I blacklist your sorry ass!

MAybe you should preface all appointment requests as : " I'm a young self centred, occasional douche bag who could use a tune up are you up for it ? Oh and occasionally I will cancel because I had a better offer but I'm cute and young and muscular I'm not like your usual clients because I can sustain an erection for 55 minutes and expect I get my monies worth .
Lolololol
Have a great day everybody !

good for you and being honest with the SP in telling her that you were her backup SP. Honesty is everything in this biz.
Exactly, because it never fails, as soon as you hook up Plan B, Plan A will call you back and suddenly be available. No surprise here, just stick with the bird in the hand which, in this case, was Plan B!

Greetings Mr.Armchair Quarterback! Hindsight is always 20/20 space cadet.
He did what he did in the moment in being straight up and honest. Plain and simple. If he truly wants plan A then if she does call him back he can always change his mind to go see her.
Plan A is Plan A for a reason. One of the best pieces of advice in life is to never settle for less and make sure if you`re an SP that you`re always regarded as Plan A!

Well said, Ms James, well said!
Learn how to be more concise and direct my friend, that way you won't put half the members here to sleep.
As long as they cancel by notifying the SP then who is it to say they better not be doing something else other than appointment B? That's their business as far as I'm concerned.
Not everyone has a thick skin, brother. Some people are really sensitive and that insult may be the thing to crush their self-esteem. Ask yourself, how would I feel if I were this person? Then mirror your conduct to reflect how you would like to be treated.
I'm not perfect, and I have been insensitive to the feelings of others, usually while attempting humor which is taken the wrong way. I've also had some replying to email and scheduling issues, because going from answering 4 emails a day to 40 was quite a muthafucking learning curve.
Maybe you are simply a deontologist who thinks all lying is wrong, who can say? If this is your position it is incorrect, and next time tell a white lie to spare someone's feelings, okay?
