The Cancellation

Do you charge them?

The Cancellation

You work for yourself and require payment when a client cancels on the day. A client cancels because their child is in hospital. You turned down other work for that time. They ask you to waive the fee.

Do you charge them?

Then ask

  • Would you charge them if you could afford not to?
  • What if they had cancelled twice before?
  • Does compassion still count when it costs you money?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
