That moment when you are already booked to provide on-site facilitation to one service provider on 05 & 06 August - and then another client emails you & requests a 4-day block booking for online facilitation from 04 to 07 August - at a WAY more preferential daily rate than that from the first one - and when you then contact the first service provider to request a rescheduling of dates - you are informed that apparently these 2 dates are cast in stone & CANNOT be revised 'as they have already made prior arrangements with all relevant departments and managers in preparation for the facilitation' - when just last week they were summarily rescheduled from their original booked dates on 06 & 07 August, as their client 'forgot' that they had already scheduled a 'Women's Day' function for 07 August...
Guess which service provider will have to 'make a plan' & either 'revise' their 2 dates - or allocate someone else to do the facilitation...
No ways am I going to sacrifice 4 days income (at a preferential rate) for two days income at a much lower rate....
