Not taking new clients / waitlist

You don’t have a date. Don’t invent one. Thank them, and only offer a waitlist if you will actually text when a slot opens.

Don’t quote a price you can’t book.

Thanks for reaching out. I’m not taking new clients right now. I can put you on a waitlist and text if a slot opens.

Hi Alex — my book is full through the spring. I don’t have a date I can offer. If you want, I’ll keep your name and get in touch when I do.

I’m not adding anyone new this year. I appreciate you asking. If that changes I’ll say so — I won’t take a deposit to hold a maybe.
