..... in Omaha (Nebraska) though where a lot of guys used at least 2 of the same ladies as references. When it came up I'd send them an email with either in the subject or body of the email adding "another reference request" and make a little joke about it lol. Hey when they're popular in their hometown is what it is and she'll understand (hopefully) :).

What does a lady do when the references from guys are all from the same provider?
I am set to Visit lexington and five guys gave the same lady as a references

I feel very sure I can't ask the lady for five references…especially when the lady is a top poster on this board..LOL

I totally feel you. I would feel like I was imposing if I asked for 5 refs. I think perhaps a constructive approach mite work. You mite explain that 5 gents have given her as a ref. You feel that since you are asking for a lot of help, you would like to offer help in return. Offer to give her advice for visiting your city. Or how about doing a trade where you are each other's business coach. Talk to each other about your challenges and offer advice. Tell her that you are willing to give her advice BEFORE she gives the ref information.  

Hopefully she will see you as her ally more than a competitor.

...there's nothing like showing your appreciation and getting to know someone a bit to dissolve tension.  Maybe if you see so many of the same clients you'd make good doubles partners, even?

This may not work if the lady is busy and doesn't desire and friends in the industry but a nice gesture and a personal connection can sometimes go a long way in small markets.

I would rather throw in a commission…..but your idea may work too
