...removing your phone number from your site and be e-mail only. I also recommend getting an assistant/scheduler to handle the screening, communicating with, and scheduling clients. This will help with your predicament. The guys calling do want and expect a response within a reasonable length of time. They will stop contacting you eventually if word gets around that you're not keeping up
I hope this is the right place to post this. It really is a very general question for YOU who call ME.
I just started to travel again and I am planning to be going through all the lower 48 states. I do not have a schedule set in stone, but I am not staying in any one city for longer than 3 days and usually no more than 3 nights and 2 days.
Question 1: The call volume is so high and I can not return or answer them all. How can I assure you that I DO answer my phone? Personally, I do not like to go back to back to back. I like space and rest before anyone that I do meet. I want you to call me. I want to see you. But I am just overbooked. Will you call me another time or do you expect no matter what to have a call or text returned?
Question 2: Verifying. I want to know who you are. I feel that if I am reviewed and trusted and I have been around for as long as I have, can I not have some real information for my safety and sanity before meeting you? I ask for a lot, why not give me what I want?
I hope this isn't too long but this is what is on my mind.

That is what I am afraid of... And I have considered an assistant in the past but I feel that takes away from the vibe my client and I get on the phone with each other. We both know right away if we like each other and click.
I will try requiring an email or text with verification before anything is started. I will keep up with the serious ones..
You like the vibe when you speak to them on the phone. What kind of vibe do you think the potential client gets when he does not get a response?
Your latest review is over 5 years old. You are not likely to attract too many clients no matter what method of communication you select.
