pinaka-kaka

ever since i've started with partyboosters, i've come across a lot of people from all walks of life, may high end, may tama lang and may mid-class. and i'm proud to say that almost all my clients are very easy to talk to. sabi nga ng isa kong client, it's because madali din daw ako kausap. naks!

until i've come across this client na pinaka-kaka ko talaga to date. i forgot her name coz i erased her number on my phonebook na.

here's the story. i think a month ago, one of my suppliers (for my choco fountain needs) left me a message and told me that she has a potential client for me. itext ko daw kasi nagandahan daw sa set-up ng isa kong client sa shakeys. so i assumed that she was one of the guests of that party kasi ganun naman talaga diba?

i texted her days after kasi busy rin. i was like, "hi. im jacque from partyboosters. i was the one who dressed up _____'s party sa shakeys and you liked the decors daw. thanks. what do you need for your party?" ang bait ko diba? hehe. so she replied naman with, "hi. i need lang kasi sana decors for the stairs kasi may balloons na sa shakeys? how much ba yung set up dun sa party ni _________ ?" so blah, blah...i enumerated the balloons etc etc and inquire pa rin sya ng inquire. and then we stopped texting na.

2 days after, i texted just to follow up kasi napansin ko wala sya ni-finalize and lapit na party nya. then she replied with, "ang gusto ko lang naman is yung decors sa stairs, i like what you last texted me." so parang ang off ng text diba? na gusto ba nya yung decors sa stairs lang or gusto nya lahat ng tinext ko at ni-quote ko last time? so i replied with, "ahh, so what do you really need po? exactly the same as _________'s party or yung sa stairs lang?" then she was, "eh bat mo ba pinipilit yang party ni _________ eh di ko naman kilala un! at chaka i didnt even ask for your service!" at nagpintig ang tenga ng lola nyo! ano daw?! she should have told me that she did'nt know that party and that she just dropped by to check the venue. gawd! and sa unang text nya pa lang, she kept on asking about the decors tapos end up lang pala that she just wanted the stair decors.

so i replied, "ma'am, im just doing my job. you should have told me that you were not a guest in that party and you kept on changing your mind on what you wanted so im just confirming your final order. you don't have to sound as if you're mad." ang bait ko pa diba? sabi ko pa, "you asked for my number from my co-supplier and you even told her that you wanted the exact decors so that's what she told me and that's what i quoted" she replied again but i did'nt reply na. sayang lang sa load ko. hahaha. i don't choose clients, that's for sure kasi ang belief ko sa ganyan, i started partyboosters so i can cater to all kinds of clients, budgeted man and party o hindi. and i texted her coz i dont want people to think that i'm being choosy na of which ones to book coz frankly, may utang pa sya sa ken sa cost ng order nya dahil super liit lang ng order nya, tipong 500 lang ata. so pagawa nya na lang sa anak nya. i chose to be nice but this was what happened. oh well...

ayun lang, naalala ko lang iblog. hehe. but it's all behind me now. i have more nicer clients and nag-iisa lang sya, kung sino man sya. :)
