Nikki Thomas 23145 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 Just a question for all the girls who travel regularly... have you had any success getting deposits from guys who pre-book? I mean, we all know that no-show rates are especially high when you're in town for a limited time, I'm just wondering what you've done to try to cut down on cancellations and no-shows. For the first time, I've tried requesting a small $50 deposit from guys who want to pre-book. To make it more worth their while, I'm also offering my regular Toronto rates (slightly lower than my normal travelling rates) and so far, the reception has been fairly positive. Of course, it helps to be an established provider with a reputation - I'm not sure if this policy will suit me especially well on ''''''''.com. What other ways have travelling girls tried to cut down no-show rates? I'm doing a lot of travelling this month, so I'm eager for suggestions! Thanks in advance for your input! :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyRushton 253372 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 I find asking for a deposit is usually not an issue, as those who are serious about booking have no issues with securing their appointments. This is a policy I will be adapting for most cities come the summertime for new guests. Clients who provide a reference I find are usually less likely to know show as well, because someone has vouched for them and if they no-show, it will be harder for them to get another encounters (if you no-show, I will let the lady who provided the reference know as you have now made her look bad) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manitoba 2758 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 I think that the same might go for a client who is registered on one of the date verification sites. As a client, I like ladies who verify as it shows their commitment to providing a good quality encounter and it also shows the ladies that the gent in question is more likely to keep the date. Verification works for all of us, I wish more ladies would use it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 All I can say is any lady I schedule a date with I keep it. If I want to see a travelling lady and she would require a deposit, I'd provide a deposit. And I can appreciate the travelling ladies requirements, since no matter what, I have to travel to see a lady, and wouldn't like after anywhere from a 2 1/2 to 4 hour (depending on city) drive, there was a no show (thank goodness, hasn't happened) RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki Thomas 23145 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 Thanks to everyone who has chimed in on this thread, it really helps. Based on your feedback, I've decided to waive the deposit requirement for anyone who can provide another SP as a reference - I think that is enough to ensure they're serious about meeting. Thanks manitoba, I've never used any of those verification sites, how do they work exactly? Is there one that you use frequently that you find to be the best? I'd appreciate more details on how to use these programs. I totally understand that life happens, and sometimes, you just have to cancel through no fault of your own. But at least providing me a bit of notice gives me a chance to do something else with that time, instead of sitting around wondering if/when he's going to show up... that's probably the worst part of all. Anyways, thanks for all the advice, it really means a lot! :-D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
