I tend to be very selective about why to whom I send a PM. However in my experience I have found that many times these messages aren't returned or even acknowledged. My PM's are always polite, respectful, and to the point so I know that is not the issue. Perhaps it is due to the fact that some ladies recv a high number of PM's and simply can't respond to them all.

 

So to get an idea on this I wonderd if some of the ladies would mind participating to give us all a sense of their correspondence volume.

Good poll and interested what this shows as well. I've had a couple PMs go un-responded to and it really does deliver a blow. I am pretty sure they have been respectful and polite and have simply written it off to the possibility 'their just too busy' and moved on. Can certainly understand if an SP is at this part time it can be alot to juggle with other life priorities.

Very interesting question. I'll be interested to watch the results as they come in over time.

 

I guess I have been fairly fortunate as I'd say I've had maybe 75% of my pm's to ladies returned. Of course I don't send that many so maybe that is why.

 

Mostly I find a pm looking for a booking on short notice is likely to be unreturned. I find this natural and figure if she was busy or read it a day or two after I sent it then it made sense to just delete. Of course calling or texting for short notice bookings is far superior.

 

I found a pm that is more of an introduction for a future meeting is likely to get returned.

I tend to always return PM's, unless you asked me something that I've explained on my website. And even then, I'll usually say something like, well this is the answer to your question, and ps, any relevant info you might need is on the website.

 

Sometimes though, those guys just catch me in a cranky mood and I won't bother to reply. Or I don't have time. CERB is very distracting when I'm supposed to be doing other things. Like studying.

I can see this would be an issue, especially if a lot of the PM's are things that could easily be found on an SP's website (FAQ etc). Thanks for the feedback Erin.

 

BTW what have you been reading lately, haven't seen any updates to that thread of yours in a while, I always enjoy checking it out.

I do not understand the logic behind not responding to someone's pm? I may not always be near the computer and even if the request is past due, I still respond.

 

I have never received a rude pm and if I did, I would probably respond rather curtly and if it was really offensive, report it to the MOD (so even that would not be an excuse).

 

I don't know if it's because of my experience of being an admin. assistant and having to remain on top of things (no pun intended), but I can't understand anyone who wouldn't want to respond to "potential business".

 

I would say pm's and e-mails constitute at least 30% of my business.

 

For those ladies who neglect to check and respond to these, please don't complain about how slow it is. I believe you are truly missing out!

 

Are there any other ladies out there who agree with me?

ALL PM'S HAVE THIS IMAGE (TOP RIGHT)

If you receive a UNSOLICITED PM from anyone trying to sell you a service or product (Sp, Photographer, web designer, discussion board, escort directory, etc...)

 

PLEASE REPORT THEM!!!!

 

This is NOT permitted on cerb by anyone and the PM system is not moderated so I rely on all of you to report them. The PM system limits the number of PM's a account can send in a specific time frame so bulk spam is not possible but if someone took the time they could slowly PM everyone on the site. Help me stop this by just clicking the report this icon.

I actually got a couple of pm's like the ones you mention & even though it was late, I replied apologizing for not reading them sooner and I know is not like I HAVE to read my pm's on time but the apology was like the polite way to say I need more notice. My point here, even if the pm didn't get to the sp on time if as you said it was a respectful pm then she should take the time to get back to the person.

I don't only absolutely agree with you but think the exact same way. Is like any other business no matter how pointless a question a client asks seem you always have to answer with a smile on your face or that's how it should be. So here' is only through pm's or emails but we MUST reply to every single message we get as an appreciation to that someone showing interest & taking the time to send a pm plus it takes a minute or less to reply.

 

The only times I haven't done it is when I see it but can't reply right away and end up forgetting :oops: my apologies if you are reading this and that has been the case.

I just received a PM from a member the other day and it was more than welcome.

 

One could call it soliciting but I will call it Thank You for thinking of me.

 

Rendezvous booked :grin:

I agree with Pete. But to answer the original question, pretty much none at all. Those who want to contact me know how to do so. And those who don't, don't bother. Which is good. Lol.:rolleyes:

I suppose that this might be considered to be a reply from me on behalf of Emily (in toronto).

 

Emily has always replied to my pms, and not just by acknowledging them in an automatic kind of way. She takes the time to respond to what I actually say in my e-mails.

 

As anyone will know from my posts about Emily, I am a big fan of hers and there is a good reason for it.

 

For me it includes the way she responds to my pms.

Sometimes I wonder why guys ask the questions they do. What irks me the most is guys who e-mail me asking for same day appointments. My auto-response clearly indicates to call me as I am not always near the computer. I don't get it. Do they think we are tied to the computer 24/7. As far as answering that "pointless" question sometimes leads to bookings. It's never a guarantee, but sometimes it works out. I make the effort. But if the email is crude or offensive, I don't answer it.
