Is it normal for a provider that you have not seen to text you and ask you to come see her?
MelindaMadison replied to inadifferentvoice's topic in Colorado
Texting or calling a gentleman without expressed permission (and a specific time and date) is Terribly indiscreet. -
Ladies, why do you have an active P411 account that you don't check?
MelindaMadison replied to F117's topic in Colorado
Question: Did you send an official "appointment request" via their system or simply a "pre-screen" or PM/DM? was it gentlemanly and include everything needed via the companions' directions? Many companions will have their notifications set up to forward appt requests to their emails. (pre-screens get back seat to legit requests and are often rife with time-wasters and many PMs/DMs often do not get forwarded correctly. Also, P411 emails can get stuck in "Promotions" or Junk folders for many Gmail and hotmail users. There are SO many ad boards out there, so if reaching out via PM/DM on any of them vs the P411 Appt request protocol, it's common that companions can't keep up by logging into all so frequently. Hope that you have better luck moving forward. (just throwing out some of the issues that could be happening) Play nicely all! xoxo Mel -
That's why a companion needs professional, written, and clearly communicated Policies and Practices... If we are running a business, running this as we would any legitimate business is necessary to avoid misunderstandings and potential knuckleheads. Clear deposit policies are needed too. (if not listed on her website, communicated in writing 1:1 pre-deposit taking) If one does not wish to set a professional deposit policy up, that's fine, it's their biz...but then they should not be taking deposits. Clear expectations for both parties and integrity avoids drama and should clear all questions up. Business Foundations 101

Repeat: there are ways to pay deposits "NON-electronically" too without a paper trail. Hopefully, companions will give you options that will work for both of you.

Many of us have various options for deposits...some non-electronic and a savvy companion will have their electronic options not tied in to their escort persona. I am very strict on not having a paper trail that will look like a gent has gotten nooky somewhere...

Yep, that was a common method even 20yrs ago. (granted, we did see fake companies set up) but if one is diligent in their research and thorough, it's simply one method that can be used. NOTE: this takes into account that we are never ever calling or texting ANY number without an agreed upon time for a gentleman's discretion. I've always been an advocate for "multi-layers of screening" as it can be easy for those with nefarious intentions to hack 1 or 2 methods....but unlikely that they can hack them all. When in doubt and when suspicious of someone not being truthful, always best to pass.

Being blackmailed by a provider for cancelling a session

Perhaps meet with legitimate escorts/companions instead vs delving in to the online cam girl and sugar baby genre. Most Professional escorts have written cancellation policies and written policies.m when you venture outside other genres of sweets, who don't specialize or have much experience with in-person clients, it can be the wild Wild West and you take your chances. -

I initially was not a fan of deposits (I love cash off the grid and only previously did them with FMTYs, longer dates, or chronic cancellation guys) but implementing them for new clients this year has been a life-saver and all the gentlemen have been amazing! Super important however, to have: 1. a clear deposit policy and be speedy on deposit returns in any case you need to cancel. 2. Offer multiple options including a totally non-digital option for those queezey about "anything online". 3. Have enough of a presence where they can be comfortable that you are legit, sane, and professional. 4. Give them distinct directions on how to make the deposit (no "for Nooky" comments on Venmo or CashApp -that's a clear way to banking bans for life) 5. Have your accounting and tax organization squared away. 5. Stick by your deposit policy and be prompt in communication. it can often be nerve wracking for some gents to send $ to a new companion that they are booking. Alleviate fears by being Uber-professional, kind, prompt and clear in communication. More companions, especially touring, are taking deposits than not these days so it's the way the industry is heading as more companions have upgraded their professionalism. As a PT companion with a career, who only gets to play 1-2X a week, cancellations or no-shows can be devastating for me (I haven't had a NC/NS in perhaps 16yrs thank goodness). It's been such a rewarding experience with deposits and I rarely ever get anyone pushing back (only 1 knucklehead in the last year and I promptly ignored him) I do, often work with a gent who needs to reschedule however, dependant on the individual situation. Do what you need to for your business to make it pleasant for you. We give so much of our time and efforts for other's pleasure as it is. Play nicely all, xoxo Mel

Setting up a website with your screening requirements is helpful. If you do not have a website, an email auto reply or even a text or voicemail reply to let them know expectations can help save your sanity. I've adopted a "send your screening info and introduction or no communication at all" protocol a Long time ago and it's worked out wonderful to weed out the knuckleheads. Makes life and encounters most pleasurable.
