I had some business travel set up for month and tried to reach out a provider on P411. The provider checked on my profile but never responded. I waited two weeks before e-mailing to let her know that due to the time frame I might need to check with a different provider. I still did not receive a response.
Last week I reached out to a different provider and tried to set an appointment and have not received a response. The provider has signed on, but has not checked my profile. I was wondering how much time I should give the provider before moving on to another. I would definitely want to give the next provider ample time to do screening, but don't want to have scheduled an appointment with this provider without having given her enough time to contact me. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter!An agency should get back with you within 3 hours. I would move on to the next lady on your list.
What works for me is that I put a cutoff date in the email to the lady. If I don't hear from them then I move on.

you definitely don't need to wait 2 weeks.
You are a very patient man if you waited that long.
But if you REALLY were hoping to work out something with that lady, you could send a single short follow-up note.
If you don't hear back from a lady after sending a second note, then move along.
to you in 2-3 days or within 24 hours depending on when you are seeking company. However, you need to be specific in your request. "Hi, I'm hoping to meet you for a 1-hr. incall date next Friday, Dec. 12 at 1pm." If you just say something like, "I will be in town in a few weeks and was hoping to meet you for a 1-hr. incall date" you might be considered a time waster. Also, "Are you available the week of the 15th?" doesn't work either.
When you made the P411 contact was it just for pre-screening or did you ask for an appointment? And have you checked the lady's website to see if she's traveling herself, or on vacation, and perhaps unable to easily reach her accounts. Imagine being overseas when your laptop dies or is stolen, and how that would impact response times!
Each time I've reached out, even overseas, it's been for an appointment request with a specific date(s), length of time (an hour may not get her attention), and note if I'm set on a particular start time or can be flexible. Have always had a reply within two days, even if they were travelling at the time and simply asked me to wait until they returned home for an in depth reply. But customer service varies widely in this business!
While I like to have overseas dates locked in at least 4 weeks before the trip, there's plenty of support that setting a date can happen with just three days notice - depending on your market of course. So don't panic if things aren't working as you prefer.
Good luck!
....now I give them 3 days tops and if I get no response, they ate crossed off my list. Life's too short and there are sooooo many providers out there to have to wait around for a reply from a flake.
to wait for a week for a response.I know things come up and sometimes providers are not available on vacation,etc.
But if you send an appointment request and do not hear anything within a couple of days I recommend moving on.I always try to respond within 24hrs even if it is just to say I received the response and to allow time for screening.Every lady is different but waiting more than a few days is too long in my opinion.
Thank you everyone for the information! I will move on to the next provider.
As a side question, should I expect it as standard for providers to not respond if they cannot or will not meet with me?
As a working professional, I always though that it was professional courtesy to at least respond letting the other party know that the arrangement is not going to work out. Providers I have met with in the past have always been very good at getting back to me in a timely fashion. So my default assumption was something happened with the communication which caused the provider to not respond (did not see the request, lost my contact information, etc.).
However, if due to the nature of the business they should/would not respond then I suppose it is just easier to assume that if you do not hear back, there is no reason to pursue the issue any further?
Thanks again for all the continued support from the community.
I'm a "low volume" consumer (I see a provider 3 or 4 times per year). I have a trip coming up next week and I reached out to a provider that I was really excited to see based on her photos and reviews. I sent an email per her web site that contained all of the info I thought she could possibly need for screening (personal info, provider reference, etc.). I told her when I would be in town (2 nights) and asked for a multi- hour appointment on either night that she was available. I didn't hear anything back from her so after four days I PM'd her on TER just to verify she got my email and let her know that I just wanted to know her availability so if she isn't available I can reach out to someone else. No response. Time to move on. So, I go back to my search and found a provider in that town that seems truly exceptional. I'll be seeing her next week and can't wait! Blessing in disguise I think. But, I'm with the OP on this. I don't understand why if I reach out to a provider, am respectful, follow all of the "rules"(give a specific date or window and a specific duration) and provide all of the requested info then why no response? I've seen other providers on here say they don't want to deal with "time wasters", but didn't this lady just waste my time? How long would it have taken her to hit "reply" and type " I'm sorry, but I'm not available on those dates."?
Even though many ladies say how great it is and how much simpler it makes screening, that is a good reason not to send personal information in your first contact. Now someone you will probably never see has your personal information.
Yes, I agree and this same thing has occurred to me since. I have some level of comfort in that I've only ever reached out to very, very we'll reviewed providers who have many reviews by guys who are pretty active on this board. Wrong or right, that's pretty much how I judge their level of professionalism. I would never consider providing that same level of info to any girl with few reviews, no personal website, etc.
Anyone running a good business will respond in a timely manner whether she can see you or not, as long as your email doesn't cross the lines of acceptable communication
If the gal checked your profile and did not respond, don't waste any more time... she's not interested.
If the gal has signed on but has not checked your profile, send a polite follow up after a couple days... if you still do not here back after a couple more days, it's time to move on.
It has been my experience that most ladies respond very promptly and I've learned not to waste any time on those that do not.
...twenty four hours; unless it is contains one line, or sexual content, then it gets deleted. The only exception is if I am traveling out of the country, and have to adjust for time zones. Gentlemen whom I travel with know that I must check mail each morning, and are fine with it, as most have to check mail themselves.
While I thoroughly love being a courtesan, this (and one other) is my profession. If I do not reply in a timely manner I expect gentlemen to move on.
In addition, even if a lady is not interested, she should have enough class to send a reply. When I receive requests/e-mails from gentlemen who are not a good fit, I send a quick reply telling them so.
Hugs and Kisses,
Kelly
