The word customer sounds rather distant in comparison to the word Client to me. To each their own I suppose. I have clients that I have been seeing for years and I have gotten to know a lot about them. I do things for them I wouldn’t do for just anyone, say someone I have seen just once, but in the same respect treat them in session as I do the others. Have I ever given free sessions or did them practically for nothing, YOU BET CHA! AND will again. Clients have called and said,” Tammy, I am broke” and my response was come mon! Granted that was during great economical times. BUT would I for those who frequent and didn’t abuse it now, yup. If time allowed and they qualified for that.
There are perks for clients when they become very well established clients with me. I will drop whatever I am doing to do a session and will even come out early or late if need be. I have helped in finding comparable LMT’s when clients travel and give ref’s. I am a NON territorial provider and if I wanted you all to myself I’d marry you! Single is good!!!
I adore my reg clients that I have gotten to know over the years and some that have come to me recently. I am just not one of those people who will say what ever they think you as a Client want to hear to get you in the door. I have reviews and a reputation that will bring new clients to me and keep those I already have. I am not burnt out on this business, but rather burnt out on the bureaucractic B.S. that goes along with it. So if I come across as callous or cold at times you now know why.
Once in session with me folks see a different side of me. This morning a reg client said to me,” your in a really good mood” and I thought about how I was. Monday was a very sad day because of the funeral I went to and who it was. Tuesday was a great day and I went to sleep with a big smile on my new pillows. Today has been a good day too with many things accomplished as well as clients scheduled.
So to you the perspective client this is what you can expect of me; and Yes I walk alone through life when the road splits and I don’t agree with everyone else because everyone else does. Good thing I enjoy my own company…
Gettin' you rubbed the right way!
