I just wanted to get some insights and opinions on this. Do you have clients who message or contact you for your services and are really interested then do not even return a call or message. How do you deal with this? I had a few clients in the past who seemed so interested then never respond and make appointments with me for trials or lessons and did not show up. How do I deal with this?

It's SO annoying when that happens! Don't worry though, it isn't your fault, it's theirs for being unorganised. I remember I was contacted to work on a feature film once - I went to all the meetings and even signed contracts, thinking it was set in stone and I'd have a job for six months. Two weeks later and the person running the show called it off. I was absolutely gutted at the time but I've come to realise that there's always a chance it could happen, and from now on I try not to count on anything too much. I usually let them do all the calling, and then a few days before the day I'm seeing them I get in touch to confirm we're still on, and if they don't return the call I just put it out of my mind. Sorry that probably isn't much help that's just how I deal with it. Deep down I find it can be a huge confidence knock, but you've just gotta get on with it I guess.

Andrea I completely understand. I also had a bride do the same and now I just have completely let it go if thy don't respond to my confirmations. It's I am wasting time with those who actually have no interest in the services. 

It's apart of our business. It sucks but it happens.
