Alex in LA

[JBenny]

Anybody seen him lately. Very sweet Deaf Guy. Alex LA.

 

I saw him once a while back. He was OK.

 

I want to try him again.

 

Have an appointment for Thursday night.

[Lohengrin1979]

He flaked on an appointment two weeks ago. No explanation, no follow up. I was surprised as the initial contact was very professional and to the point and he seems like he ran his business well. Alas. Let me know if he keeps his appointment.

[JBenny]

I will let you know.

Any updates?

[Guest]

He hasn't had a review in 3 years?

[JBenny]

So, I had what I thought was a good session. Really good at massaging my legs [i have challenges with my balance and walking]. He left. The next morning, I followed up with him and thanked him for a good session. He has not responded. I told him if he wanted to keep me as a client he needed to respond. If he didn't, I would get the message and move on. ... I'm moving on.

I told him if he wanted to keep me as a client he needed to respond.

 

One would hope you didn't phrase your request anything like that. Jeez.

 

I've always found Alex fun and adorable. The massage is fine, nothing to write home about, but the price point is more than fair and he is, as I said, fun. But then I've never demanded next day communication as part of the deal!

 

I hope he returns to NYC soon.

[JBenny]

No. I was simplifying it here. My message was very positive and complimentary. I also asked him if he wanted me to write a nice review for him. His previous responses were in an hour or so. Then when I did not hear back all day, that's when I asked him if he was interested in keeping me as a client. ... Crickets.

Were there any challenges communicating? Does he lip read?

[JBenny]

Yes, but since we're wearing masks, he opened a page on his phone and I spoke into it.

[FunInTheSun]

Does he do strictly therapeutic? He’s super cute...

He's been discussed before:

Who is interested in keeping a client who gets upset at not receiving a reply all day? He could have been traveling or booked.

Hardly good business practice to go dark for an entire day. The client expressed interest in becoming a regular. Any provider, if they wanted to keep that client, would respond provided they have any business acumen at all. This day and age, it’s possible to fire off a return text in seconds. I assure you, in my business, not responding for a day loses you the job and further business besides.

People need to chill. It's impossible to know what's going on in his life. Imagine thinking because you hired him once or twice he owes you anything at all, especially some type of instant response to a text. Good grief.

[Guest]

Give the guy a break, he's speech and hearing challenged. In addition to English being his 2nd language.

Dude. You sound needy. At this point the provider is probably doing a cost/benefit analysis of whether keeping you as a client is worth it. Simmer down.

[JBenny]

I don't need to simmer down. I'm not needy. I'm busy.

[big dale]

I don't need to simmer down. I'm not needy. I'm busy.

OK, Jan.

I guess your compliment and request fell on deaf ears.
