Houston I have a problem! :/

Thanks babe appreciate your input

I don't want to stir anything up here, you seem super sweet and I completely understand that clients are (for the most part) expected to do their due diligence before choosing a provider, because hey, we all want to click with our dates. Buttt asking someone to read your 30 some odd reviews vs asking you a question is only saving you time, not them... I agree that they should ask up front but is it really so hard to reply and say "no i don't offer that." Even if its 10 times a day. Thats up to ten people that you can get business from. You might not perform a specific menu item but perhaps your sweet personality and the plethora of other talents you surely have will entice them to give you a try anyway!

You're going to run into this problem your whole career. Even those of us who DO offer BBBJ still have to deal with gents asking for greek or CIM or whatever else we might not offer. If you're noticing a pattern, lecturing the board will do no good toward fixing it. It is your business. Troubleshoot. Find an acceptable way to fix the problem. Perhaps putting a permanent P.S. at the end of your emails saying "NOTICE: please make sure you know my menu before scheduling!" could cut down on at least some of it. This is a problem you're having with YOUR business, and therefore your problem to fix. Where the blame lies doesn't matter and shouldn't be your concern. Business women identify problems and seek out logical solutions. Spoiled brats identify problems and stomp their feet and pout and complain. Which will you be?

Best of luck, darlin.

Get them boobies to FL.....

I wanna see em while here!

Caroline Davenport: Troubleshoot

Best advice in this thread/threAD.

If you ignore advice, fault is on you.

Your TV is snowy, can't see clear. Fix it yourself with troubleshooting/eliminating problems to make it woik.

If you cannot fix yourself, call, "Able with the Cable."

Personally, I did a simple HOU Review search of INDIES with "CBJ" search term.

There is a market, read many of men review "CBJ My choice."

Stick to your guns....

But, WTF do I know, I'm a fucktard....................

Thanks baby! I appreciate any advice. One thing I have learned about this website is you gotta have a tough skin. Any kind of feedback good or bad I always take into consideration. But I do not regret posting this thread. This is an issue I have far too often. Maybe I didn't word it right.. honestly I have no clue because NO MATTER HOW U WORD ANYTHING HERE people always have something to say. LOL its funny to me what people come up with hiding behind a computer

You decided to respond to the person who confirmed that my advice was good, and thanked HIM because he was sweeter about it, and ignore me completely except to apparently complain that I and some others aren't coddling you. Responding this way to people who take the time to hand you knowledge that might otherwise take you a lot of time to acquire doesn't inspire people to help you in the future. All the coddling and hand holding in the world won't help you make better business decisions. Yes, you need to have thick skin around here. But, really, you need to have thick skin in life. If how a person says something to you affects whether or not you take good advice when given the chance, you're cutting off your nose to spite your face, or taking opportunity away from yourself just to coddle yourself. Get over your easily insulted ego and realize when people are offering you something of value, no matter how nice or mean they are about it.

Or don't, and keep having problems and stop bothering us with them if all you want is a pat on the head.

^^ but Davenport, if she takes your advice, or others that were given many pages ago, this awesome threAd would cease to serve its real purpose

Yeah, I saw your post, it was pretty spot on. Noticed she ignored that one, too.

I'm not mad at her if she did this for the exposure, but if you're going to post a fake problem just to get the hits, at least pretend to be gracious to people who took the time to offer solutions as if it weren't a charade.

I am sorry I didn't personally quote you..But calm down it isn't that serious I appreciate and thank everyone for any advice. What gives you the right to insult an assume you know me? You must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. You see I didn't quote too many on this thread. Not because I disregarded what they said but I honestly do not have that much time in my day to spend it all on ECCIE. I apologize you got offended but girl take a damn chill pill it isn't that crucial!!!!!! Here's a beer enjoy it!!

Your over-sensitivity doesn't mean that I was insulting to you at all. The fact that you think practical solutions and insight into the nature of your issues and how you handle them is insulting, ensures you'll never excel at anything. Demanding that people only offer you advice wrapped in pretty bows is a good way to never get good, solid advice. I'm wasting my breath on you, I know, but hopefully another new lady that reads this is smarter and knows how to glean valuable information from ANY source so she can not only succeed, but excel. When someone has something you want, in this case business know-how and logical thinking skills, you should be willing to learn no matter how it is presented to you. No one owes you anything. And being ungrateful for free advice is moronic.

NOW I'm being just a little insulting, though honest. See the difference?

Oh well. I'm stubborn. But don't think you have me all figured out when I haven't even so much as graced you with my presence. Move around. If you don't like me then don't pay me any mind. It is that simple. Good day
