clients: follow-up with your emails to SPs!

[Annessa 22743]

first off I dont want to consider this so much of a rant but more of a word of advice to clients. (will admit tho, its a bit of a rant)

 

Clients: following up with your emails that are very specific to dates and times you have requested when you get an asap response is very important sometimes

 

I consider myself immaculate at answering emails...especially those those that ask for certain time frames that are of the extremely near future. If I get an email like that and I have to run out on errands I will even send another email saying I will be away from my computer and to contact me via my cell.

 

For example, if someone asks about my afternoon or evening with a bit of a sense of urgency in their tone and I reply within 15 minutes (as Im at my computer the most during the day) .....and I go through the efforts of giving a detailed map of my schedule (which in most cases is wide open) then receive no feedback as to yes or no (or sometimes I do!) while I'm wondering if I should make my dentist appointment for the hours they requested.......i get a lil tiffy. maybe my offered schedule doesn't mesh with theirs, perhaps they have changed their mind.....but I responded asap, and No one likes looking like a needy SP sending the 2nd email....."errr.....are you still interested in seeing me? you seemed pretty sold" lol

 

I've had clients tell me they'd be in town on a certain day and want to see me from x-hour to x-hour ask my donation and say 'wonderful, I will PM when I arrive and check in'...and never hear from them again despite my reminder email a couple days prior...of course to no response.

 

clients that text me asking if I'm available the next night at x-time, I say yes so I pencil in a babysitter, then cancel it the next night due to not hearing from them, then get texted at the last minute an hour before our scheduled date asking if I'm still available. ???

 

now to the no-response (after apparently avidly claiming they're looking for my services due to my recommendations etc) I usually brush it aside and move forward (as i say "first CONFIRM, first serve") but I always have to wonder....would it kill u to just follow up, state that plans changed etc? I for one write even my potentials in my daytimer, and if i can schedule around them, I will.

 

 

OBVIOUSLY we never make solid bookings till we have all the info but gentlemen, know that sometimes we are doing you a favor in giving you the benefit of the doubt that if you dont want to schedule anymore, you wont leave us hanging. And that most of us will at least keep in our heads that we "may" have a call for the time and date you requested. After all, some of us have outside-work plans to fit around these calls or family obligations etc.

 

I realize that many gents may send their email request-letters to multiple SPs, but I find that its never a bad thing to say (if you've already got a reply from someone else) that you already booked with someone else who replied first. trust me, it doesnt hurt our feelings! what makes me angry is clearing my schedule of plans that will make escaping impossible (loosely of course) because someone has said they want to see me...especially if I reply right away or they have agreed and expressed genuine excitement about our arrangement working out.

 

*deep breath*....all better :)

 

ok so it has turned into a rant, but bottom line is dont leave the lady-workers hanging, trust me, a proper business-woman will understand and probably thank you for it so she can adjust her daytimer. Most of us try our best to accommodate all your emails and requests. The least clients can do is say "thank you for your reply, but someone else emailed me back first" (or whatever the reason for not following up may be :)) I am happy that this is the most real and upfront business sometimes when approached from a business perspective....you know we see other people, we know timing may have been better for other people to see you...also (on both sides) intrusions get in the way of having fun sometimes. Thats just life.

 

Lets just all work on not keeping each other in the dark, it will IMO make everything run smoothly :)

Well said... and good advice for all of life

[NotchJohnson 214123]

Annessa you are so right about the way everyone should run there business. I for one always follow those rules, if I can't make it to a meeting I simply call or text so we can reschedule it later. This way everyone goes back to carry their day without anxiety.

Some ladies advertise on CL, Red Zone, The Sun, Cerb, Ottawa at Night and Escorts Canada. I get you want to cover all bases and make a tone of money, but when I send out an email on Monday asking the basics questions that are answered in most advertisements I shouldn't have to wait until Friday to hear back, by then I have moved on and found someone willing to answer is less then 24hrs. Why would I email back saying srry you took to long, I have done this and got a tung lashing once, she said you should just not emailed me back. Also ladies don't ask us to call you for details and then when we get you on the phone you direct us to and ad on one of the sites that doesn't answer a single thing, nor answer any questions on the phone. Why just why can't all ads just state your stats, price and things you won't do, too many grils offer GFE, but it varies from 1 shot to greek.

 

This doesn't not include all grils, but there is a large numer of them that do create the problem of the main discusion of this thread. We should all agree to dis agree we ned to comunicate better from customer to the lovely provider.

 

Thanks;)

Some ladies work in the US. This would get them into serious legal trouble down south. In Canada they can't engage in public solicitation, depending on where they place their ads this would be an issue as well.

 

but bottom line is dont leave the lady-workers hanging, trust me, a proper business-woman will understand and probably thank you for it so she can adjust her daytimer.

 

My time is precious to me, I won't waste your's just as I don't want mine wasted.

 

Arrangements made days ago are confirmed the night before usually via email. Next day appointments are confirmed the morning off via phone. In case of emergency contact is made as soon as practicable.

[buggernot 588]

Annessa, perhaps the best approach for you to take is to make it your policy when communicating back to the client that yes, you are available for that time, but it is not officially booked until you receive confirmation. In your usual pleasant demeanour of course. It won't get rid of all the scheduling snafus and inconsiderate clients, but it might stifle some of the problems.

 

Whenever I make arrangements with anyone, there's always a well defined time, date, and place that is concrete and confirmed from both parties. If I don't have that and I don't get a prompt and clear response within a certain time frame, at a certain point I consider the date to be a no-go and make arrangements to fill my time with something else.

 

Granted, there's always going to be exceptions to the rule and everyone is different, but I generally make a point of 'forcing' a reply to ensure that everything is understood. If a girl emails me back saying yes, she can do that time, I'll ask to reconfirm the duration and rate even though I know what it is. Even asking "Sounds good?" at the end puts a question back to be answered.

 

I hope this isn't happening from repeat clients though?

Actually, the thread is about clients, not the girls. No offense but they are 2 very different issues.

Indeed!

 

Having certain specific guidelines regarding the confirmation of a rendez-vous is a must in this industry!

You can avoid lots of frustration this way, wasted time and energy!

It takes 2 minutes to send an email or call, how hard is it to say my plans have changed.

Why go through the inital email to book, if you have no intention to follow through with it. Why waste the time and effort? This one I do not think I iwll ever understand.

This happens all the time in this industry to so many ladies, and it is not right.

[Loki318 1631]

Communication is two way, being polite and professional is the way of business and "hobby"..

[E.D. man 691]

I have sent emails to 6 different SP's and only 2 have responded.

So I only do it by phone now. If Isend an email. I don't want a response in 3 hours.

So the best way to me is by phone.

One person I actually tried calling and sent her an email. she forgot to turn her phone on and was wondering why she wasn't getting calls. It was funny. I think she was into writing her term papr at the time.:ablow:

[Guest S**a*Q]

Annessa's right, it's rough when you can't keep up on who's going to be where, due to people not getting in touch with you.

 

Nothing I love more than spending time home alone waiting... I do get a lot of movies watched in that time though, but that doesn't make up for what I could be doing.

 

I'm pretty quick on the draw when it comes to responses, either email, or calls. Being a business woman, I understand the urgency of ensuring that both parties are satisfied with the details.

 

Props to Annessa for bringing this up :)

[redmachine 1916]

Actually I like the countless emails that sometime precede a date. It's a great opportunity to get to know someone better and helps build up the anticipation and excitement of the date.And I always follow up the date with a thank you email.

I agree, I really enjoy the emails preceding a visit, even from guests I know well. It gets me in the right mood and sets the tone for the rendezvous...

Eventhough I post on E-C, on other boards, and of course, here, I do also post on CL...

 

If there's a lot of scams from girls on .........., there's also a lot of weirdos...

 

Here's a couple of exemples I have about e-mails I had...

 

"You say you are very open-minded... Can you provide creampie, so I can film it?"

 

"I am young and good looking... Can you do it for free?"

 

"Did you took a shit today? If not, can you shit in my mouth?"

 

I'm not even checking my e-mails anymore, since this pisses me right off... In my ad, even on CL, I ask people to PM me thru cerb, even on the other boards... This way, I am almost always sure that they are reliable clients...

[Guest s******ecan****]

I've noticed a lot of difference in response time to emails or PM's sent to SP's, but I have found one thing to be consistent. The high end SP's with solid reps here on CERB are in my experience very quick and professional in their replies. To me that underscores the fact that they are professional and I know that my time with them will be well spent. Other SP's that are slower or inconsistent in replying to emails or PM's seem to be more on the "casual" side of the business, many have good reviews but I prefer not to book with these SP's because I anticipate that there may be problems at the time of the date (the SP might forget, be running late, overbooked, etc).

 

I'm not dissing the SP's that are inconsistent with their response times but to me personally it raises a red flag in regards to their service level. This comes from my experiences in the business world outside of the Escort industry. I normally avoid business men and women who are poor at returning emails or phone calls because this generally reflects their overall approach to their business.

 

Just sayin.....and I realize this is only my personal opinon

[coachg 388]

Common courtesy should be practiced at all times, but it is one practice that seems to be falling by the wayside for life in general. If everyone practiced a little common courtesy on a consistent basis, life on the whole would be a lot better, and it certainly applies to the relationship between a SP and a client. I have to book my encounters in advance due to travel and schedule, so after I set my schedule, I like to contact the lady by phone or msn a couple of days prior to our meeting just to ensure we are still both on the same page. This also enables us to establish a rapport which certainly makes things a little easier when we finally meet, and depending on how our prior conversations went, we have some useful information when can use when we get together such as choice of wine, flowers, chocolate, type of lingere or whatever comes up in our little talks. I try to make sure I am not a nuisance, but if we hit it off on the phone, and make a connection....then when we get together it just seems to be a little more intense and enjoyable for both of us. If we happen to get a little playful on the phone and share what we like or dislike, it makes things a little easier when the clothing flys off.

"Did you took a shit today? If not, can you shit in my mouth?"

 

Wow I am speechless...

[kih 458]

"Did you took a shit today? If not, can you shit in my mouth?"

 

To each their own. Everyone has their own fetish. That certainly isn't one of mine! TFF

[Guest ****ven]

A perfect rant. Clients need to remember that sp's work hard (whether it's fun or not isn't relevant) and that an app't is a commitment.

 

A simple no thank you, I've changed my mind is all it takes to leave the sched wide open, and doesn't leave your sp hanging!

 

:-P

[VedaSloan 119179]

Some people still don't view this as a serious profession, so they think they can dick around with our time. You can't cancel most doctor appointments without 24 hours notice, or they'll charge you. Why should our time be any different?

[canuckhooker 19203]

Erin.. it is just not this profession, although it may seem that way. Too many people these days don't have the common courtesy to think of other people's time and efforts. And it is just that, common courtesy. If you can't make an appointment for any reason, then tell someone as soon as you can so they aren't inconvenienced. And don't make an appointment you don't intend to keep because you are waiting for something "better" to come along.

 

It is a measure of respect for others, that unfortunately is lacking these days.
