Admittedly and known is the fact that sometimes a persons inexperience and Available resources become challenging to a providers ability to create and be real, reliable, professional at the hobby. The ability for someone to stand up for someone else is created with a persons ability to see what there is to fight for. With that being said I ask for advice on how to create the correct attention grabber, reason for risk, and willingness to follow through to create the stand reason for me to be created in hobbiests. let me try this. How Can I make better changes to become someone to stand up for in the hobby? What is able to be done to make hobbiests decide that they want to write more reviews for me? Are there things that I can do to make an appointment want to happen instead of just to happen? I have had an awesome experiences and I have had some completely terrifying experiences. I was not shown a lot of things when I got into the hobby. My willingness to try anything to learn and correct my errors whatever the reason for the cause of the error. I haven't post for anything because I have been trying to figure out solutions for these questions. In two days I have had 5 NCNS. I need to understand why to effectively change to become someone who is in demand instead of just another option. I value any and all input and advice on this subject. I want to try to become one of the Diamonds and Tuxedos classified providers. Thank you to everyone and remember there is no wrong answers unless you dont try to give an answer.

It is up to the hobbyist as to whether or not they will write the review. Some providers offer "review specials", which could be the offer of a discounted session for a review (which relies on the integrity of the hobbyist to write the review) or a discounted session for the next time they see you (which puts the onus on the hobbyist to do the review and for you to keep track of who has seen you - and for you to honor that commitment). But I would not recommend this approach.
For your NC/NS, which seems to be more common nowadays, obtain access to one of the provider-only forums on the board and leave a thread with who the client was that NC/NS'd you; this would be for clients that did not have a valid excuse - for example, the roads were very treacherous last night and if someone didn't want to drive to see you, I would consider that a valid excuse unless they did not call you (hence the NC part of the equation).
You may also want to post this question in one of the provider-only forums as well, where your fellow providers may be more frank and open in giving you assistance with your business model. Good luck.
