Backup plans and double bookings
A couple weeks ago I reached out to a few providors as I had some hobby time unexpectedly open up. I received affirmative replies from 2 well known board favorites. The 2 that replied back advertise on the USA Classifieds site, both are well reviewed and been there a few years. One I've never seen the other I've seen a couple times. Time was set with providor #1 in 90 minutes. About 10 minutes later providor #2 texts back and says 8 pm would work for her too.
Dilemma time. Providor 2 owed me some time from a missed appointment and was willing to make that up. She also has a new duo partner but couldn't offer the discount with her involved, which I understood. When I inquired about the cost of the duo I told her I didn't have that type of cash available so she said how about a 30 min session. Since I always do 1 hour sessions I said I wasn't I interested and I'd catch her next time. Then she says okay, we'll do 60 minutes for the 30 min price. Dilemma ensues. I agreed. But how to cancel with #1 who I've wanted to see for months?
As it turns out I didn't have to, these things tend to sort themselves out. #2 texts back 30 minutes later and says "sorry for the long delay in replying, but I've been at urgent care with an earache but turns out I have strep throat. " I replied back "thanks for the honesty, I certainly don't want that I'll reschedule when you're better. ".
I'm glad I didn't cancel prematurely with #1. Being patient paid off this time. And providor 1 was as advertised. The moral here is having a backup plan is always a good idea, and never cancel until you have to.
Happy hunting!
