Re: Booking fees?
Posted: 2025-03-19 19:02:02
I now also started charging a booking fee deposit for futuredated bookings.
Guys will phone and make a booking for say friday at 11. Then at 8 or 9 you ask him to please confirm and he doesnt reply or he blocked you or lately he says confirmed. And then, 10 min or so before the session or even on the exact time he blocked you.
Now today is wednesday so if someone else phoned and wanted maybe a booking that overlaps that one you cant take it because of that session booked before the one overlapping.
So then you loose a potential client and that ass doesnt rock up or blocked you.
So ive never charged a deposit but now i do. And if you dont pay the 25% of the agreed upon amount then sorry i wont be rocking up or even bother.
My time and money gets waisted by idiots that doesnt have the balls to just send a message to say hey cant make it
