If you accept a booking from i‑THRIV (e.g., a 4:00 PM session), please do not accept another booking for the same time on a different platform. Always honor the commitment you accepted first—whether it's through i‑THRIV or another source.

We also encourage you to give yourself adequate time between clients and appointments, no matter the platform. This ensures a smooth experience for you and your clients and reflects positively on all the companies you represent.

Let’s support each other by staying professional, reliable, and respectful across all opportunities.
