I would recommend calling the day before to confirm the appointment and always have a cancellation fee clearly identified on every quote. By calling them 24 hours in advance you give them an out. Of course, you can always make exceptions provided your exceptions do not become a routine practice.
------------- Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity? |
