Rules were not made to be broken

Grind Filed Under:

Rules were not made to be broken. I have a simple rule when it comes to booking an appointment for a retail customer leave a deposit! Simple elegant and knuckle head proof. Yet me being the ultimate knuckle head I can always mess that up. I get a call from a customer needing to shoot on the Friday after thanksgiving at7:30pm. Being the people pleaser that I am agree we then discuss the shoot and all of its glorious details. I then tell the customer she must leave a deposit we accept all the cards. She states she can not but the knuckle heard in me still books it because she seems to have done her home work on local photographers…..

Friday 7:30PM rolls around no call no show but that’s okay as the previous shoot went a little long. Its Friday in Atlanta and traffic is bad. I call her at 8:00 she answers then tells me she is running late but she is on her way and will be here in a few ……… that’s the last time I hear from her. I would not be upset if she had said, I can make it, I can't afford it, or I just hate tall chocolate sexy brothers.

I placed two more calls then I move on .. I am not upset with her in the least bit its 100% my own fault because this rule was not made to be broken!
