New Office
Well, with the clients I had before I went to the school, I have their health history forms and whatnot from my old office at the chiro clinic. The owner of the school just made a plea to 'please let my clients know in an ethical way that I am leaving.' I am respecting that wish. The clients who call asking specifically for me (the ones that come in every other week or so) have my card with my cell number on it. However, if I saw the client only once at the school and it was due to their marketing, that's not my client, I just happened to take the appointment because they scheduled with me. I told her I will be ethical about leaving and contacting clients, but I also ask that they are ethical in that if a client calls asking for me, that the school tells them where I can be found. If I were to contact everyone I laid my hands on while at the school and told them I'm moving and here's my contact number, I feel that would be unethical on my part, and as a client I probably wouldn't appreciate it.I know that a few will follow me (most already said they would while asking 'when I'm leaving that dump'), and a few will stick with the school because that's where they're used to going. But I didn't market to get those clients, so I don't really consider them 'mine' per se.It sucks though, since I put in my 2-weeks notice, they haven't scheduled a single client with me. The only ones on my books are the ones that I already had there, and I am MUCH more available now than I was last week, being as I started working part-time instead of full-time at my second job. THAT part really irks me. So far the salon I'm moving to has already booked a couple of appointments for me for late next week, I have a really good feeling about this, which I didn't about moving to the school.Let's hope it all turns out great! And Jen, when I first got out of school, I didn't have much look finding office space. I was desperately sending out resumes to different places trying to rent space. Now I've got 3 salons mad at each other because one salon "got" me. Why couldn't I have this problem / reputation when I first got out of school? LOL Just move on down to Port Arthur and I'll get you hooked up with some space, no probs, hehehe.
