[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I explicitly ask my clients not to share my contact information on Facebook/parenting groups. The one time someone shared my info on Facebook, I had dozens of people contact me and it led to zero actual clients, but wasted at least a dozen hours of my time. So many people who were really flaky or were "outraged" at my market-rate prices. I don't want to deal with that again, I am referral only and those referrals must be vetted.[/quote]

This is a good perspective.  I’ve been in NoVA since 1994 and I’ve never seen the kind of stinginess about information that OP describes.  But I can see a rational non-competitive reason not to share a teacher or tutor’s info on FB.  [/quote]

+1 I grew up here and now am raising kids here and I’ve never seen this. I’m in Arlington and our neighborhood mom board is constantly crazy with recommendations for everything under the sun - tutors, music lessons, etc. A recent post asking for piano teachers had like 8 responses. So this reasoning makes more sense. Or the lady is just a bit weird.[/quote]
