I want my current clients to feel special and valued. What can I do?

Personally? I'd settle just for being nice and satisfying, leaving the chance for a return visit or ten. I don't need presents or something
For me it would be to remember or bring up discussions you had. Or mentioning that the other day for some reason you thought of him (e.g. he likes a singer and he/she is in town for a concert).
For my friends, I remember what they like and I will be able to relate to their likings when I see or hear something.
I’ve noticed that, I remember being with a man and I told him something he told me the last time we were together and he seemed very surprised. Are people under the impression that we don’t listen to them?
Then you get what it takes to make someone feel special and valued/cared
Sometimes I say things that I don't remember but somehow the person remember because it marked in their mind.
Fidelity card! After 10 sessions, get the 2nd hour at a discount price or a complimentary extra on the next one.
More seriously, if you have returning customers, you already doing something right. Do you know why they are coming back? Put your energy on what matters with the loyal clients you like.
most people don't listen or rarely pay attention, especially when they don't think they are going to see that person again. Most will forget the name of someone they meet randomly at a party or event because they don't expect to see them again, but will make a conscious effort to remember a coworker or client they meet the first time
Because they’re hoping I’ll bake them donuts and muffins
Actually one of the question I had although I think it really depends of the person, is to what extent do you remember your clients or their stories or information?
I would assume seeing them regularly helps the brain keep information.
A bit following up on the providers' referral question, did it happen that by giving a MERB handle you don't like the client's comment and refuse?
What I can say is that we don't see all the clients who contact us, sometimes we even decide to not repeat with a client who wants to see us for a second session, and the reasons why will remain unknown. Or she will tell you if she's inclined to, but that's up to the provider you are contacting.
Then it should be wiser to not insist if a client doesn't get feedback or is not able to get a meeting?
It's rarely good to insist, in general.Then it should be wiser to not insist if a client doesn't get feedback or is not able to get a meeting?
I am assuming and I hope you receive lot of compliments about yourself (physically, intelligence, emotions, etc.). How do you deal with that?
You flip your hair? Of course I'm gorgeous
You are not so sensitive anymore?
You always take them as if it's the first time you're being told?

Ok... yes I would have to agree I do get a lot of compliments on the daily. But my reaction very much changes depending on what I am being complimented on.
My reaction changes dramatically depending on what the compliment is and who is giving it.
If it is about my looks, I get shy. I have always prided myself on my brains, and always thought looks fleeting. I was also made severely confused about how to take compliments about looks growing up, as in school I would be teased regularly for being weird, fat and ugly, but then to step outside I was being oggled by every man who passed me, objectified and praised I was beautiful. I tend to think the negative said was likely true, and everyone else is just humoring me. But if I'm walking down the street not turning heads I feel invisible,
so I do what makes me feel good, and turn as many heads as I can. My Master tells me I am beautiful every day, and I still fight the urge to sneer or role my eyes at the compliment. He has resorted to punishment if he catches me, to try and get me out of seeing myself that way. Somehow I see how I look as seperate from who I am, I have had days I caught myself off guard when passing a mirror, taking a moment to realize the pretty person in the mirror is me, then I look away and forget.
I am. And those who see me when they say it, see how it catches me off guard. Often I have been follow up asked, "Do I not realize it?"
I can't fake reactions. It is why I try to limit my visits to the lovlies I am privledged to meet. I can't pretend to spend time with someone I don't like, and them not know that is exactly what I think of them. I wear a mask around my boss at work for this very reason. Apparently even if I am agreeing with his cockameme ideas, my face tells him exactly what I refuse to say out of respect for my boss, and I then have to justify myself for the looks on my face that I am not saying. My face and reactions show all, and it is not something I can control.
Now. That was on looks. Praise my brains,
and watch me beam with pride, as I try not to bore you with my accomplishments. Or any skill, or trade I have attempted, and I just glow. I did my own auto body work while at the campground, and was praised by many DIY men there about how they wouldn't even attempt it and I am doing so well, could they hire me to do theirs. I am my own handyman, and love the appreciation and respect I get there, while it being in no way something about being sexualized. The ones who stop to praise it, are often the ones who know what effort needs to go into it.

I did try for some time, but lacked motivation. I do have ways I could exercise at home if I am so inclined to. Lately, I have just been getting up and doing more things more often, and it is going away naturally. I'm just going with it.
