Top performing bulls, how direct/accurate are you when describing the what a couple can expect from you in a session?
So I’ve been tossing this around in my head for a while and figured I’d get the community’s take on this.
I tend to last quite a long time, to the point it sounds kind of ridiculous if you haven’t seen it first hand. I’ve had couples afterward tell me it didn’t sound realistic and that I should probably quote a more “reasonable” number up front and let them figure out I was underselling it themselves.
The problem with this approach is I’ve had sessions go sideways due to outperforming expectations even when I’ve been fully up front with the couple what they can expect.
I had this issue with at least 3 couples just last fall (possibly 4 but the last one didn’t give a clear indication of what their issue was afterward).
I don’t mean this as a humblebrag and put off posting it for a bit out of concern it could be viewed that way, but I recently started vetting a new couple and found it was back at the forefront of my mind when discussing expectations and limits.
So gentlemen, how precise/explicit are you about your skill set when first speaking with a couple?
I’ve continued to stick with being completely up front about it, but I do wonder if some couples have (not unreasonably) viewed it with skepticism.
