Once I have answered your initial email, I am going to ask for some personal information, name, address,phone number, work phone, company name, possibly who have you seen or who you know. I'm merely trying to protect myself and my clients (perhaps soon to be you) from potential problems. Keep in mind that I want to make the appointment too and have a vested interest in "discretion".
If this is your first time, you can tell me. We can talk about your favorites, likes and dislikes. It's OK if you are nervous and you can tell me that also if you like. I am fantastic at putting you at ease and there is never any pressure. I want our date to be enjoyable for both of us.
Conduct yourself like you would in any other professional situation. Be freshly showered, brush your teeth, comb your hair, and be dressed ;-)
The Bottom line is to treat me like a lady, with dignity and the way you expect to be treated. Act with kindness, manners and respect and the respect will be returned to you.
Some clients send a short email within a couple of days to say thank you for the time spent. This is the polite thing to do and it keeps the door open for future meetings. After all, every legitimate business owner wants constructive feed back.
