So your either part of the problem
Or part of the solution
Time for you to decide

You try and push the 3hr back so you can do both.  If that’s not an option and the 3hr really wants to see you.. you will come up with a time that works.  Otherwise you just keep your original appt. That person has been planning and looking forward to the moment.  In my opinion it’s just shitty to cancel for $.   Your word means everything

Your word and action are all you have in this business. With all and everything there is for a client to judge you by all that is most valuable is word of your actions. The men have a very excellent communication here. Canceling last minute, same day is sure to make other future clients think to look for a more reliable meeting. You dont want waste your time, they dont want waste their.

I would try to accommodate both appointments, but if it was not possible, I would keep/ honor my original arrangement.  
Clients and providers have choices. The first client chose me among all his other options, so if I chose to confirm a one hour booking, I keep it even if a bigger fish shows up closer to the date.
I think it's a matter of integrity and respect. I expect  clients to respect me/ my time  showing up for our appointments on time/ not cancelling last minute . It would be logical to treat them any different than I expect to be treated.

It is booked. Why should it matter how long? It says alot about you if cancel to see the other appointment.  I've actually done this before and it bit me in the ass...because the longer appointment cancelled as I was leaving. I learned my lesson, being courteous and on time/reliable...actually goes a long way in this business.

would it piss you off if some one cancel on you!!!! sounds like you made the first date you want to be treated good well  providers  like to also    keep it

...did talk with both parties. Here was my problem. The first appointment was an hour and booked way in advance. The other appointment that was to happen last minute was an overnight. So during this very slow period (for me anyway), my options were a 1hr, or an overnight. Usually I would never bother the first party, but this time I had to! I told him the truth and he completely understood and luckily rescheduled for a day later. I gave him extra time for his inconvenience. Everyone happy and I was relieved.

Keep your scheduled appointment.  

Say you had an appointment for a dealership to deliver your brand new car.  You were super excited to get this (insert fancy car here) .  You've ready to spend a lot of money on it but it was still well within your budget.  You didn't get the highest end or the lowest end, but you're getting it, the exact car you want.   Now you get a phone call that from the dealership to say sorry Trschla, we got this guy whos buying the same car as you only he got the one with all the options.  Even though we ordered this car, and we traded another dealership to get you this car and you've been waiting for weeks AND you for whatever reason, you can't receive the car the next day.  The other guys buying bigger, so he's more important than you.   We aren't able to help you out but maybe you can call around and find this car for yourself somewhere else.   How would you feel?  

Also, I find when we don't do the right thing, it simply comes right around and bites us in the ass.

You should keep the one hour appointment not only because it’s the right thing to do but because in the long run you will be more successful in a service industry by having a good reputation for reliability.

Three hour date will win out 9/10 times. The one hour date will loose out. Only question will be is, will she call or just pull a NCNS.

I am a planner and I do appreciate planners. When I am booked, it doesn't matter for how long someone wants to see me . I don't generally accept same day or last minute appointments anyway as I prefer clients that plan ahead.

Besos!

This happened to me a couple years ago. I had a Booked and Confirmed 2hr meeting set with a well respected provider a month in advance.  Someone that I have seen in the past that was also a favorite.  I have always enjoyed my time with this provider. Quite honestly i miss seeing her when I visit Vegas.  This provider canceled on me 1 day prior to my arrival in Vegas. I know that things can happen in our lives that we have no control over. I know some of you will say "Where was my back up plan"?  Honestly, there is no need when you have great communication and relationship with that provider. However, without going into details, I learned from a well respected hobbyist that he saw this particular provider the same day that I was Booked and Confirmed. The only difference he scheduled 1hr prior to my confirmed time. This hobbyist went on to explain to me how the provider explained to him that she canceled a meeting just to see him. My date was for 2hrs. I later found out that he scheduled a 90min date and she gave him extra time. 3 or 4hrs. (He must be that good). LOL.  I have been able to move past this experience. I visit Vegas 2-4x a year. When I am there I often think about this provider. I miss seeing her because she was a favorite of mine. However, I will not contact her ever again. So ladies, I request that you be Honest and Considerate. When we (The Hobbyist) schedule a meeting with you, we really look forward to seeing you. It takes a lot for some of us to find that special provider. For me it's not a numbers game. It's about building Good and Respectful Client relationships. So, Please Ladies simply be Honest,Considerate and Respectful. It will go a long way and unnoticed. You will always be Respected for your Honesty and Respect.

.. I’m promised elsewhere.. period.
Most often my rendezvous’s are planned days and days, weeks or even months in advance.  
By the time the evening comes that our smiles will finally be connecting there’s no way in heck I would ever consider canceling  to see a last-minute gentleman.

 The 3hr gentleman may only see you once. While the 1hr gentleman may turn out to be a longtime friend.   Who knows, once you get there you’re 1hr could turn into 2 or 3hrs.  It happens to me alllll the time!

 Don’t think in the now… Think in the future ..
  And as mentioned above… Karma

I would try to push the hour one back but if he couldn’t I would cancel and go with the 3 hour. After all we are in this business to make money

It's very helpful
