Here is a big hug from me. Don't be upset. When I first started I did not get any calls or emails for a while. And I did get those emails too. If I felt like responding I just said "thank you for letting me know and good luck with your hunt" To be honest, I don't care what they think. This is my price and I'm not going to explain why I charge this or what cost what as it is none of their business. They will understand why I charge this much when I tell them what I do with the kids and what I feed them.

Hang in there. You are just new to the area and people don't know you yet. Keep advertising and hopefully, ideal clients will come soon

Good Luck(not that you need it )
