Posted June 28, 2012 For the ladies that do not post phone numbers........ how is an intrested client supposed to know if you got the P.M, e-mail, smoke signal or whatever process you prefer???? I am assuming that you are recieving these requests on your smart phones??? How long should an intrested gent wait for a reply to a P.M or e-mail before looking to other possible companions??? I have never been one to contact multiple ladies and deal with the "first to respond", I think that is un-fair to those that do respond later .... but that has, at times, left me with out company. I have recieved first responses from P.M's as late as 3 - 4 days after I sent a message. Please don't read this as a complaint, as it is not, but rather a request for guidance on the accepted way to do this. I don't want to just not consider the ladies with no numbers's posted. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, you need to suck it up and realize that without regulars whose schedules, and habits re messages, you're somewhat familiar with, and any timeline less than a week or two, you should send messages to multiples. If you get more than one answer--which may not even happen--quickly, either schedule with the 2nd person something later, or just be unable to find a mutually agreeable schedule that time around. If she contacts you 3 or 4 days later, it's even more likely, from her perspective, that she may be too late and the two of you won't be able to get together this time. (You do not ever need to explain why you are unavailable Wed at 2pm--you are allowed to have a life, and things come up. And they have lives too, so it is unlikely that she'll be saying "any day any time at all please please oh please".) Just be easy & quick about it, and don't waste her time after she contacts you. Not being able to find a time that works for both this week is nothing at all like being a no show, or an ass that calls around just to fantasize with no intention of actually booking (and probably jerk off about it). - Obviously, don't go down the review list and leave messages for 20 or 30 ;-) - Only leave messages with people you really think you'd like to see ;-) - And if you can manage to find time, I guarantee that 2 in the same week will not make you feel bad ;-) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 28, 2012 Usually when I reply haha. Generally within 24 hours unless something happens. I place an auto reply on my email when I am on vacation, and a notice on P411 (and I do NOT check my provider email on vacation, smart phone or not). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only speak for myself... When I have work or personal stuff going on and can't answer the phone I only post my email addy, and I asnwer it with in minutes. I just cant take "the phone call", this isn't surgury, but its up to the guys to figure it out I guess... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Responding in a timely manner and being considerate have nothing to do with email or phone. I use email only for firast time callers. Once screened, they can call me anytime. It has saved me a TON of drama. I respond immediatly to my emails, unless I am working, then I respond within minutes of finishing my work. A bad responder/ girl who doesn't run her business properly will do it thru phone the same way. If I were a guy calling I would give the girls maybe 4-6 hours or so tops(if I'm prebooking), if they don't respond timely, find another...but that's me.

Posted June 29, 2012 ...If I were a guy calling I would give the girls maybe 4-6 hours or so tops(if I'm prebooking), if they don't respond timely, find another...but that's me. Great advice, thanks V! It is a delicate balance of consideration for those you are contacting and the need to make an arrangement in a timely fashion. I myself start several days in advance to allow the ladies time to respond and myself time for 2, 3 even 4 inquirires if they are busy or nonresponsive. If no word in 24 hours, time to move one. Planning ahead increases the likelihood of being able to book with someone on or near the top of your to-do list. A last minute setup is much more likely to be with "whomever" is available. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 29, 2012 On a side note: I have ran a legitimate business for several years. I embraced email as a supplemental form of communication. I have seen it evolve from a relatively reliable form of communication to highly unreliable in the last couple of years. Spam filters etc. cause a lot of missed communications. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Velvet's timing suggestion is spot on. Seriously, a little planning ahead in this hobby goes a long way. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 30, 2012 Dumb question on my part, but does not anyone use the Escortboard.net? I'm usually successful in getting companship on a fairly real time basis, and, generally there's a good variety to be found there. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 2, 2012 I can't speak for others but when I find a ladies ad without a phone number, I won't call her. Neither will I. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 2, 2012 same here no phone no call but if they are someone I have seen before and request email or text msg. that is ok. I realize that a lot of people now use text msg. as they don't like to answer the phones and talk anymore. This is a business and you need to develop business acumen and phone calls, texts and emails are all part of the communication process. I am sure that you get a lot of spam and crap type calls but again the price of doing business. I like to phone call or text as i then relatively assured that you got my message in one form or another. I will give you several hours to respond in one way or another, but after that I am looking for someone else who is on my desirable list no matter if I am trying schedule that day or in the future. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 2, 2012 I book by email only. All my appointments are in advance. That gives me time to check your references. I also like to read what you write to me. It helps me determine if we are a good match. If you want "right here, right now" then I'm not offended. Different types of people have different styles of booking and meeting new people. I provide my phone number when I give you my address, usually the day before our meeting. xoxo 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 2, 2012 I can't speak for others but when I find a ladies ad without a phone number, I won't call her. I agree. I'm not going to call her. But I will send an email to schedule an appointment. They lady may be the most attrative person around. But if the voice is a turn off (Fran Drescher?) the I don't believe I will enjoy my time. So a brief phone call will be necessary. No phone #, no problem. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2012 What I don't get are the ladies on BP who post no pictures, no name, no phone number. And you think I'm going to contact you via the BP anonymous email link when I don't even know who the F you are? I really prefer phone, but I'll go through the email pain for a stellar provider who is obviously professional in her advertising - an indication that she's going to bother responding. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 7, 2012 As an Email Only provider I find that I can respond quicker than when I had a phone# posted.Sometimes I would get calls and could not answer at the time and maybe the person does not leave a message.Even if I cannot talk at the time I am able to respond to an email fairly quickly.I usually respond anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours if I am busy. I always read about gents contacting providers by email or pm and waiting days to weeks for a response that is unacceptable IMO. I know things happen people go on vacation,take a break,etc. but some providers are not the best at managing their business. I prefer Email as I like to have reference info sent and it is a lot more convenient. I found since I removed my phone# from my advertising it has cut down drastically on timewasters. After screening I do provide my phone# as I like to have a short phone conversation before meeting new friends. Just my .02 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
