You mentioned that your window of opportunity is very narrow, enough so that there is "no time for a backup plan", so I am curious as to how much advance notice you are giving these ladies. If you're trying to schedule an appointment right away, that may explain why you didn't receive a response from the first 2 ladies. It may be that they weren't able to contact your references right away, or the references didn't get back to them right away.

Over the course of the last 3 weeks I have contacted 3 fairly high profile, TER active indies for a date. One was emailed 2 verifiable Atlanta based references + my office#; a second lady I called instructed me to text her my references-I did. Neither of these 2 ladies bothered to check refences or call me back to say "not interested" or what ever. A third lady I scheduled w/ an agency that she was utr for and she did a no call no show.
Now, I work out of town all week so my window of opportunity is very narrow and volatile. So when this happens, theres really no time for a back up plan for me.
I've used couple of the agencys (GC, JLT, Secret Agents, etc) for years. Beautiful ladies,
fast appointments, no hastles usually. A girl I wanted no shows? No problem, how 'bout so and so?
So my point is, what is advantage of an Indy over an agency? Indys are usually more expensive, most all the ladies are gorgeous-indy and agency, Indys and agencys both work out of high traffic facilities since most Indies share appartment w/ each other.
This Indy chase has been a wast of my time, so I'm thinking I'm stickin with the agency.
Just my 2 cents
