Nobody should ever contact you for an appointment. It is rude and desperate. I wouldn't buy a client list and cold call. It isn't the same.
"My baby needs diapers!!!!" Shut up, please and stop spending your welfare check on shoes.

Real world analogy:
Girl calls guy to see if he wants to grab a drink/dinner. He accepts and after dinner, he insists on paying, but she says, "we'll, I asked you...let me leave the tip." Guy says thank you and everything turns out ok.
In the above example, the girl was somewhat inappropriate for asking the guy out. The guy was still a gentleman and paid, and the girl redeemed herself by leaving a nice tip.
In the original scenario, the only way for her to slightly redeem her unseemly behavior is to offer a discount.
