Business has been quiet for a while now and is only just begining to pick up. Last year I had ony two enquiries but didn't get the work. In the last 4 weeks I've had six enquiries resulting in 3 meetings with parents.
I had one family come need full time. 3x 8 hr days when Mum is working from home and 2 longer ones when she is on the road. Meeting went well, lead to second visit with Dad which also went well but I'm still waiting to hear.
I have one family who wants me. They want 3 days a week but not every week. It would be 3-4 weeks in five.
I had another family come, the visit went well who would want me 2 days a week for a month or two then possibly going to 3 day a week. I have yet to hear from them.
I want to let the families know there is other interest as in my initial talks I had said how quiet it was. I want them to realise that if they decide they want me I may not have the space any longer or like them I'd like to weigh up my options as to what would suit me best. However I don't want to pressurise them or or lead them to choosing somebody else, as I may end up with nobody.
What would you do?
