Consider your work habits. Are you on time for the session with your work space prepared? We have heard reports of practitioners showing up late for the session then ending the session at the scheduled time AND charging a full fee.
Establish a routine for preparing for your work area: note taking, setting the room temperature, turning on lights, adjusting music, lighting candles, checking that the area is clean and neat, putting the phone on an answering machine or whatever else is involved in setting your work place. Treat the client with courtesy. Focus on them and make eye contact during your work.
Add value to your service by offering self-help advice. Not all clients want to work on themselves but for those who do, your self-help lessons convey the message that your goal is to work with them to achieve their goals, no matter who does the work.
