Shall I dispense PEZ to you down there as well?

Again, thank you all for the copious amounts of responses. I enjoyed @ncc1701d post regarding cancellation reasons. I'm a very understanding and accommodating guy, so reason is important to me. A lot can be read between the lines with sincerity and true apologies as well. I carry myself in a professional manner, and ask clients do the same if a cancellation absolutely needs to happen. This recent occurrence happened from a busy work schedule and him taking on my appointment when he couldn't confidently guarantee a clear schedule. The disregard for my time irks me, and the apologies were non existent. All of your insight leads me to want to drop him altogether, but I'm too much of a nice guy to do that I suppose.

This was a topic in another thread. I believe the consensus was most clients didn't like the unwarranted message. Response to OP. I haven't searched for a client.

I'll need to travel to conventions and open up a booth

Thank you for your response. The hourly cancels I can live with. It is the ONs and extended dates that can really damage a schedule.

An inquiring mind here. I'm asking those of you that do not assess cancellation charges. If a new client has cancelled on 2 separate occasions, what do you do? Are they not to see you in the future? Is a deposit now required? Is each occurrence situational? I'm in the midst of changing some cancellation policies, and would love some guidance.

Quad Goals!

AMEN

Talented. As mentioned above

You're insight on SLC is spot on @Mocha M4RN is terrible. I had an ad and and the amount of business was very small compared to RM.

Happy Veteran's Day (Observed)!

Keep your hours. I see those as a buffer in between longer appointments and ONs. Also, the small hour appointments can take a trip with small profit, to a sizeable one. I offer additional hour discounts, and this discussion is making me think I should post that in my ad. I too enjoy the 2-4 hour appointment range. I feel there isn't a sense of being rushed on either end. Plus, both parties gain more of a connection with the longer appointment.

I believe our bodies are different and the "size" you're able to take may vary widely than mine or anyone else. I like @Lance_Navarro comment regarding use of toys to gauge size limit. I know personally, 10 is pushing my limits. Of course I'll take it like a champ, but it'd be an intense encounter.

I was ready to reply even before reading your comment! SLC is a ghost town for clients! I have my travel down pretty solid to where I'm home for a 2-3 week stretch, then I'm traveling again. I suppose your odds are about 60-75% that I'll be in my home town, and schedules match. In response to OP, the market in my city is very thin. I create more opportunity for myself in my travels. Ask @tristanbaldwin I'm pretty sure he lives in his home 30% of the time. He's a busy man indeed!

Essentially Pepsi marketed Crystal Pepsi back in 1992 as a clear Cola. They discontinued it a couple years later. Fast forward to 2017 where they made another run temporarily to appease the fans that loved it. It's a unique drink and pretty interesting. I'm not a big soda drinker in general, but it's nice to indulge.

I had a snack of homemade popcorn, butter, and Himalayan Sea salt. I washed it down with a Crystal Pepsi. Of course everyday doesn't look like that. I am not strict on carbs. It's tough when I travel since I cannot prep any meals in advance.

That's a great idea. I'm sure you see clients in cities that others pass on. Then there is the added benefit of having a car to use on Out calls

Is anyone else intrigued by his casual mention of his member?

Well then. Australia here I come! It's on my list to visit someday. Keep in mind I'm based in UT. RT is double the LAX cost. It'd be cheaper if I book 2 separate RT flights SLC-LAX and LAX-SYD. Increase the price you found to north of $1k and the hassle of paying 2x for baggage given neither of the cheap options is Delta(My frequent flyer program of choice). In short, it'd be either a logistical nightmare or expensive to make it there. @mike carey Its difficult to vacation and sprinkle in appointments. I tend to not be in "work mode" when I'm relaxing in vacation. Maybe I'll give it a few more tries. I love international travel, and attempting to work in another country definitely would be an adventurers its own.

Don't be afraid that you'll have a great time! Communicate you're wants/desires ahead of time to see if you're a match to the provider you reach out to.

The issue I see in your plan would be the ticket cost of Australia is just insane. Given it'd be a work trip, I'd need to "work my ass off" to make a profit.

Left handed for one activity.. Personal pleasure Weird but true.
