It was a pleasure working with you, feel free to call me if you have further questions

If it was a chess client the most likely explanation is that he is moving on with his life and won't be playing super seriously. Still it cannot hurt to try what FW said.

Finally saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood last weekend. Really good. Sign of a good movie is I'm still thinking about it several days later.

Not as good as Inglorious Basterds IMO but def one of QT best.

Also one of Leo's best performances. Uncle Slim's fly by the seat of his pants Top 3 Leo movie ranking:

1) Wolf of Wall Street
2) The Revenant
3) Once Upon a Time In Hollywood...

That's more like my hair, and my head was completely shaven a couple months ago.

I enjoyed Pitt in Burn After Reading but I didn't enjoy the movie as much as I expected.

Unrelated, any of you folks have a 2017 or newer MacBook Pro that overheats and will slow down to a crawl under "heavy load"? Google tells me it's me charging on the wrong side(right side only wtf?) but I've tried the other side with no success. I've reset a bunch of the settings too.

Funny you should mention it but two of our family MacBooks have ****ed up on basically the same day. The kids both have multiple assignments to get done by Mon and neither can do any work

I’ve always stayed away from Apple laptops for other reasons but weird they’ve both gone down together.

1. it's definitely worth finding the appropriate time and way to ask the client why they're leaving. this may be a month after it's happened when it's less raw - people often don't like giving negative feedback/the real reason initially

pitch it as 'I really care about my business and want to improve and I'm really interested in your feedback' or sth. would you recommend me to a friend? what can i do better?
what would you have wanted more of? and then listen and keep asking....it's usually the last reason they give that's the real reason.

2. at the end tell them how much you appreciated working with them, enjoyed it, valued their time would love to do it again in the future. would it be ok to get back in touch in a few months etc etc.

internalise and learn from it or work through if it was your fault or not.

potentially find a way to float this feedback with existing clients, see if they feel the same. adjust your approach if appropriate.


people move on from service providers all the time. it's part of any business. your role is to maximise the length of those relationships so that you minimise the amount of new business you have to do. the way to do that best is to listen to your clients, learn from it and adapt.

sometimes there's nothing to learn and it's their problem or it's out of your control. in which case it'll be far easier to brush it off. most of the time where they've moved on for a reason that was in your control, it's your responsibility to find out what that reason was and to learn from it.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Gold. ty ty Feelie. I guess there’s no much you can about the psychological blow. Feels like a breakup every time and that adds up quickly though. meh

You saved me the time from having to re-read how to win friends and influence people or listen to Gary V which is good.

I haven’t been doing the above religiously, but as a qualifier I find out that I’ve lost a client by them not responding over a few week span half of the time- so a follow up may be difficult in those cases.

Maybe I need to get more testimonials to showcase experience. Referrals are hit or miss since despite the 50,000,000 people etc industry very few are looking for serious coaching, especially online. Also meh.
