As times get harder for everyone, I've genuinely tried to keep our services affordable for families. Between our crazy low introductory pricing, discounted packages, and some of the lowest rates in town, I've done everything I can to make recovery accessible. We even offer Affirm payment plans to help spread out the cost.
But being a small business owner means there's only so much I can absorb.
Yesterday, against my better judgment, I allowed a child from a family I've known for quite some time to leave after receiving services without payment. The agreement was simple: Dad would pay the invoice later using the payment link I sent.
Well, here we are. Instead of receiving payment, I've spent my time chasing down a grown man who keeps hanging up on me. 🙃
And that's honestly the most frustrating part. If he would simply be an adult and have a conversation with me, we could potentially work something out that's mutually beneficial. I'm not an unreasonable person. I understand financial hardships, and I'm always willing to have a conversation. A little honesty and communication can go a long way. .
And while a part of me would LOVE to put this situation on blast, I'm not going to embarrass his son over something that is ultimately his father's responsibility.
I wish I could say this was the first time something like this has happened, but unfortunately, it isn't.
So, effective immediately, ALL appointments must be booked online and secured with a credit card. NO EXCEPTIONS.
I understand this may be inconvenient for some, and I sincerely apologize.
I love what I do, and I love being able to help our local athletes and families. But kindness shouldn't be mistaken for an opportunity to take advantage of a small business.
And to any my jiu-jitsu friends... I might know someone you should beat up jk jk jk 😜 🙃 😅
