Moniquecox69 100 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 I have noticed that a large percentage of my booked appointments are canceled. Usually about an hour or two before the scheduled time. I think it shows very bad manners. I believe it would be convienant to keep a list of clients who do this on a regular basis to get their kicks.

Soleil Sublime 38108 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 That always sucks Monique. I'm truly sorry this has been happening to you. On the bright side, at least they're canceling instead of standing you up. I find so many things can change for these gentlemen regarding the time they have to 'get away'. I've had a client cancel on me multiple times because his wife keeps changing her plans. I don't hold it against him. Life happens, ya know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Megan'sTouch 23875 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 Hi Monique, Sorry to hear about your troubles. You might consider asking mod for SP only access so you can see the list of no shows and bad dates. How are you screening your calls? Maybe we can help. Megan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrgreen760 37785 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 I've cancelled once, been cancelled on and have been no showed on a couple of occassions. I think a client not showing is by far the worst as it gives virtually no chance for the sp invloved to accept something else that might come up last minute. Shit does happen and I've struggled with not taking it personally when it's happened to me. Some what the nature of the beast I suppose but no fun for anyone on either end. This game is tough enough already for all involved....lets try to be kind to each other. Peace MG 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never no showed, but a couple times for reasons beyond my control, I've had to cancel (prefer postponed, because I do reschedule), or have been late. Likewise, I've been cancelled on (with ample notice btw) and had a lady show up late (with notice btw)...sometimes life happens, and things just can't be avoided I know for me, since a two hour encounter is what I book for a first time, on those rare occasions when I did cancel, I rescheduled and made it a three hour encounter. And ladies who cancelled and rescheduled, well they make the rescheduled encounter an unrushed encounter But mutual respect, or as MG says, lets try to be kind to each other RG Edited July 2, 2011 by r__m__g_uy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pink Kitty Escorts 6195 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 It's a huge problem in Ottawa. Which is why we keep really good records, a no show is an automatic ban. Someone who is cancellation we will note it, and if it happens again we ban them. We really dont like taking advanced bookings, because of the high cancellation/no show ratio. We dont book via email or txt, because we want to actually talk to the client and get their vibe. Anyone can be anyone by txt or Email. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I may be in the minority of guys here, but living in smalltown Ontario, to see ladies I need to travel to the "big" city. For me to see a lady requires advanced planning on my part, to free up a weekend, and make sure I don't get any family commitments made on my behalf for that weekend. Most of the time it works out well. Once I had to cancel (well in advance) because some family members from out of province were flying in same weekend, and it was planned last minute by them. The other, well another family member needed my truck on a specific day (same day I had planned to see a lady), but I let the lady know and was able to bump the encounter to one day later Just from this guy's point of view RG Edited July 2, 2011 by r__m__g_uy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ottawa is notorious for this sort of thing and then there are those who like to play games. Some people may have valid reasons and others do it for fun like you said. See if you can get someone to vouch for you to gain access to the SP area and the bad date list as most of these guys call around to different ladies.

fortunateone 156618 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 If it is really high, you might want to consider not accepting prebooked appts from new clients. If you are accepting prebooked appts, you might want to consider asking for references for them to have a secured time. Otherwise you require a followup confirmation the day of the scheduled appt by a certain time, and if you don't get that then you don't consider it a confirmed appt. I think the sincere clients will follow whatever procedure you need in order to not have your time wasted by these guys who deliberately set up appts they do not plan to follow thru with. Keep your preset times for repeat clients, and keep your options open with the new ones. If you require a confirmation by say 10am on the day of the prebooked appt, then you can then know what the rest of your day is like. I'd keep your options open for same day bookings as well, for the days when no one confirms by deadline. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
