Wasting Our Time

Had a bride spend an hour with me in a consult only to tell me she’s using a family friend for photography. Now with this situation I get it. Mama stepped in (we know the fam as a past client) and lowered the budget.

However, it got me to thinking…does anyone in the group have specific verbiage they can point to (either on their site or in their introductory emails) that have helped lower the ghosting or wasting of their time meeting with unqualified individuals? We post pricing on our site and also attach it to the first email. Any help much appreciated!
