Ever felt that gut-wrenching disappointment when a potential client ghosts you after what seemed like the perfect consultation? You're not alone. In this refreshingly honest episode, we dive deep into why couples don't book with flower vendors—and why that might actually be the best thing for your business and mental health.

From the messy day-to-day realities of running a flower farm to the delicate dance of client expectations, we're pulling back the curtain on what really happens when potential clients walk away. Whether it's price shock (those $10,000 Pinterest installations aren't happening on a $500 budget!), personality clashes, or the dreaded "momzilla" who steamrolls her daughter's vision, we examine the real reasons behind lost bookings.

The most valuable insight? Not everyone is your client—and that's perfectly okay. Your energy, time, and artistic vision are sacred resources that deserve to be valued. When someone doesn't book you, it creates space for clients who truly appreciate your unique approach and creative perspective. It took me years to stop taking rejection personally, but once I understood this truth, my business—and my happiness—transformed.

For flower professionals struggling with ghosting, undervaluing, or just plain dismissal, this episode offers practical wisdom on refining your inquiry process, being crystal clear about pricing upfront, and recognizing the red flags that signal a client isn't your people. Because at the end of the day, the most successful businesses aren't the ones that book everyone—they're the ones that book the right ones.

Listen in, share with a fellow flower friend, and remember: your best work happens when you're working with clients who celebrate your vision, not just tolerate it.
