Hello,
I have a dilemma! Normally when I am filling a spot I usually work with one family at a time to give them priority over the spot. Although I think this is a fantastic idea, it has also bitten me hard because sometimes the families drop out last minute and puts me in a jam.... I also think it is from me being 'too nice and wanting to help everyone '
So here is my dilemma...
I have met a family who is interested in a spot that I have open for Sept and they are interested and are wanting to sign up. Perfect! Or so I thought... as soon as I mentioned coming by to sign documents and to bring a deposit by I am hearing crickets... no reply...
So I called someone who sent me an email who wants the spot and we are meeting next wed to view the spot and potentially sign up.
What would you do? Should I email the other family saying that this is happening so if you do not meet me by then, good bye spot?
Do you do first to bring a deposit by wins? Money talks?
I just feel bad, but it is also annoying being treated this way by other families as they are probably out looking at 2nd/3rd options...
What is your policy on this? Just looking for some guidance
