Training Your Clients

In an ideal situation, both reader and client enjoy the reading. Even if you are only a beginner, getting this relationship right from the outset will add to the rewards of your journey. Since most unhappiness comes from expectations not being met, it is best to try and be as up front as possible with your clients right from the outset. I find it best to tell them what I can and can't do. I will tell them: "I am not particularly good with locating lost property, I have more success with missing pets; I am usually reasonably accurate with timing, but this is the most problematic area of any reading, so please be aware of this: if I don't know something I will tell you."

I encourage clients to write their questions down prior to a reading so they don't finish and then kick themselves because they have forgotten to ask about a vital issue. I also give them information to help them formulate good questions, so they get best value out of their reading. And I often suggest that after a particularly meaty reading that they write notes about what they have learned, so they can review it later.

Whatever your style, whatever your preferences, if you are clear about them and share them with your clients, you will more quickly build up a clientele of people with whom you have good rapport, so readings are mutually enjoyable. Honesty is always the best policy!
