Sent out 12 messages on p411 to DC ladies, asking their availability. Only two got back to me.
Shouldn't I use p411 to send the initial contact messageTheir profiles will indicate when they last logged on to the system. Some of them don't check their P411 messages often. If they have logged on and viewed your profile but didn't reply, maybe they don't like your profile or you don't have enough OK's. It happened to me a few times (I have more than enough OK's so I assume they don't like my profile). No big deal, just move on. Plenty of fish in the sea as the cliche goes.
Send the p411 id number in your call/text/email, and tell them that you'd sent a private message on p411 to help them find your profile.
Remember this, guys. It's not even Meta, its just efficient.
If you are a p411 member with okays by all means use p411 to make the first contact!
That's what you are paying for as part of your membership!

That request goes to her regular email. If you send a private message, it requires her to log onto P411 to look at it.
Please note that P411 Requests usually go directly to a provider's own email address (although she can change that setting, if she wishes).
Private Messages stay on the P411 system, and are often considered casual chit chat, so are not as well responded at times. We suggest sending two requests, and following up with another form of communication before reporting the nonresponse. At which point we'll send a reminder, that answering Requests is considered good business practice (though not required).
We don't actually suspend accounts for non-response to Appointment Requests, but we do send out a friendly reminder that providers are expected to be responsive to all inquiries.
We DO suspend accounts for 4 days of non-response to Okay requests, though! Always,Gina
