🌟 Announcement: Regarding Planning Fees 🌟
To my valued clients and friends, I wanted to take a moment to address something that’s been on my mind lately. As some of you know, I recently implemented planning fees for new clients to ensure I can continue to provide the highest level of service to each and every one of you. It was a tough decision, but a necessary one to maintain a healthy work-life balance and uphold the quality of service you deserve.
Out of appreciation for my existing clients, I made the decision to waive these fees for you. Your loyalty means the world to me, and I want to continue serving you without any additional financial burden.
However, seeing past clients enjoying vacations that I may have quoted without any commitment is disheartening. Charging planning fees wasn’t an easy step for me, but it’s essential to ensure fairness and respect for both parties involved.
The planning fee isn’t just about finances; it’s a commitment from both sides. It’s a way to ensure that each client is as serious about working with me as I am about working with them.
Please understand that while I don’t want to impose fees on existing clients, the actions of a few are impacting the experience for others. Requesting quotes and then booking elsewhere not only takes up my time, but also undermines the trust and respect in our professional relationship.
Family is important to me, just as it is to you. Achieving a balance between work and personal life is crucial, especially after the lessons learned during the challenges of Covid.
So, I kindly ask for your cooperation and understanding. Let’s continue to build meaningful and respectful relationships, ensuring that each interaction is valuable and mutually beneficial.
For now, I will not charge fees to existing clients, but I ask for your respect so that I can continue to do so.
Thank you for your continued support and loyalty. 💞
