Hi all! I'm still learning the ins and outs of TER... I've been a provider for nearly a year now but have somehow managed to sneak by with zero reviews!
I've enjoyed reading the discussion boards and observing the personalities of the active providers and hobbyists. Very much looking forward to becoming a more active member myself!
To the ladies who get reviews on a fairly regular basis, do you obtain most of your clients through TER or do you encourage them in person to review you? Most of the people I've seen are surprisingly unaware of sites like this.
I appreciate any advice!

I personally ask them before they leave if in fact I know they are reviewers, even if they are not, I always ask. A lot of my business comes from TER and the rest are from other sites. Even if they come across me through a different site and are not aware of TER I tell them what is it and explain the review process and the purpose for TER. A lot of them actually become members after I tell them about whitelisting and what it means. Although I'm against reviews (both good and bad) I think every provider should know about TER, we get rated (which I hate) you can advertise here, you can learn how to protect yourself and you meet people that understand the lifestyle and from different walks of life so it's a good tool for a provider to have as well as a client.
As far as reviews, needless to say they are important good or bad they get you business and every time you get a review an influx on people tend to want to book or prebook you vs. you not getting reviews at all. Getting reviews to me is another form of advertising because your name appears on the first page of reviews. Another factor to remember.... a lot of men on TER for security purposes are less likely to see you (someone that doesn't have reviews) vs. a provider that has reviews. if you are going to become an active member of the boards, most likely people will want to see you but without any reviews not many TER members are willing to take the plunge, no matter how beautiful you might be. Once again a girl with reviews, recent reviews and at least a hand full of them has more credibility than someone that doesn't. Usually girls that don't have any reviews at all guys steer away from because they don't know if in fact you are who you say you are or if you are LE or something of that nature.
Hope that helps and feel free to promote to TER to your non TER clients, it's a great learning tool. In my humble/honest opinion.
Tell your clients about TER if they don't know about it, and encourage them to join.
If you don't beat your drum, no one else will
Mollie, Roxanne is 100% correct .. as a member over 10 years HERE ., I never seen a provider who didn't have TER reviews..
Good luck, feel free to PM me if have any additional concerns.

Wait until you hear from him later that day/night or the next day. Sounds like most guys send a thank you note by text or email, or if they don't, you should. When/if they do hit you up, and rave about how great of a time they had, ask them in your follow up correspondence for the review.
If you ask him while still in the room, you don't know fact certain if even if he did write a review, he would write a good one and it also puts him on the spot with you in the room with him. I think that would be too soon, it could shatter the illusion of a "date" or the "GFE" or the "connection" many have here, and be presumptuous to many others.
But, if you wait until after he has gushed by text/email, you are reasonably assured it will be a good/great review as that is just human nature to want to be consistent with what they tell you and what they tell the public. No guarantees of course, but I do think it helps your chances immensely.
Remember, you just don't want to encourage "reviews" per se, you want to pursue EXCELLENT reviews.
Good luck.
.....and for the longest time I thought that every monger did that.
Lol maybe it's just a female thing 
Many girls on this very board and the GD have complained that they thought a guy was going to write one and never did.
And some write them under an alias and sometimes months after the session.
But I don't think you being female has anything to do with it. Just a personal preference regardless of gender. Proly more a personality thing than a gender thing as well.
I ask the provider if she would like a review. Not all of them want one.
ask if the client is a member. If yes, ask if he would mind posting a review of your date. If not, tell him about the site and that it's free to join. Be sure to tell him about the 15 free VIP days he gets for each review he posts.
As far as attracting TER member clients is concerned, posting your weekly ads on your local regional ad board would be a good start. Also suggest you start posting on your local regional board, that will get your name out there too.
If you haven't read it already, read the self help center, it has lots of good info for those new to the site and the hobby.

review of the experience if it was above average. Some ladies don't want a review and others are very appreciative of me asking. Special situations (extra time, service beyond her profile, etc., are never mentioned in the review.
It's a little trouble to join and get TER member, P411 member dates but it will tell us your safe and we are safe. We will pay more to see you because your a safer provider P411 OK's and a TER with reviews ,references . I'm a newbie that's dated 11 provider's and never dated one without TER reviews. Work under an agency for a year and they would help you get P411 and TER reviews.
I'll definitely get into the habit of bringing it up with more clients near the end of a booking - I agree, if I can't put myself out there, I won't get results. I'm revamping my web presence and will make an effort to be more active on TER.
As for joining an agency, I'm a BBW provider and no agencies in my area will take girls my size, but it's good advice for others!
If anyone has advice for my website, I've included it below.
