I went to a business once and had an appointment that I had confirmed the day before. I waited 30 minutes for the person to show up and I didn’t hear anything from them. So I left and requested the owner of the business to contact me.

Doing the right thing means communicating with your client before there is a problem, and letting them know that you are doing your best to solve it. Not in ignoring the problem, and then trying to patch it up later.

Even the White House is helping this process.
