Is there any particular reason some (most) Providers and Agencies do not post their weekly schedules on their websites or at the minimum with their Regional Ad Posts?  

It makes it so much easier for the guys to book appointments without wasting time and it really couldn't be that difficult to publish at the beginning of each week and update during the week if any major changes occur.   Agencies such as Mariposa & Sophisticated do a good job with this and I can certainly vouch how much easier it is to set appointments having this information.

From my perspective, it just makes good business sense, but perhaps I'm not seeing the whole picture.

Your comment about "without wasting time" would ring true if only NCNS did not happen with both girls and clients. But NCNS do happen. Also, I don't think most girls really know what their availability will be like the next day, let alone 7 days later.

This has nothing to do with NCNS, but everything to do with making unnecessary inquiries, telephone calls, etc.,  about availability when a simple web posting would let clients know if someone was or was not working on a particular week or day.

I like to plan my week in advance.  If I see the ladies' schedule early, I can make an appointment and I'm all set.  That's why I stick with those agencies that post the ladies' schedules.  Sure, somebody might already be booked or need to call in sick or whatever, but those events are rare and understandable.  I font see why all agencies and providers don't post schedules.  At least let us know when you'll definitely be unavailable.

It's really not that complicated. Schedules are not set in stone. Many have called to inquire and double check a girl's availability on to find out that that she was unavailable, despite her schedule saying otherwise. NCNS only further validates that no matter how much you may believe your appointment is set in stone, things happen.

Another agency that posts a schedule is Essential Referrals.  Also, if I look at an indie's website I always look at the calendar to check for availability and usually see it is empty.

No..So why are you responding?

tyvm,P.T.

I think this business has challenges of any other service concerns, “Good is the enemy of great” (Jim Collins).  Can not be great if satisfied with good enough. I suppose as long as long as we are making the calls, its good enough.  So its “good enough” to get the business without posting a schedule or follow though on good common sense.  We all know the ones that create expectations whether by a better website, courtesy, scheduling, communications, cleanliness, proper preparations and even follow through that brings us back.  What does concern me from time to time is that if they are just good enough about such common sense issues as we are discussing here, then what about more serous issues as security and safety.  Not always true but reasonable expectation of a consumer is that if a business is sub-par in one area, so does the extrapolation of diminished expectation in areas we do not see or dare to guess. These more serious issues I have found does affect even our “little head’s” expectations.  Little things like these (no pun intended) make us just a little uneasy and uncomfortable about making that call or going through another hurdle of an availability call.  Maybe a another voice speaking to us to move on.

I am certain there are as many models of arrangement in this business too many to consider, but in my humble opinion I agree with JohnProctor that more of “whole picture” we see, in this case of time slot expectations the happier we will be.  And we all know hassle is not part of happiness!

BonneChance to happiness!

PS: (Post Sex, could not help that one! ) I thought this business is about delivering happiness!

No, I am not suggesting a lady change her schedule at all once posted, unless it is a situation where she posts on Sunday, for example, and she decides to not work that week; Aunt Flo visits unexpectedly, etc and she has to cancel the week or two or three whole days in the week.  Like I said in my OP, post once and only modify if a MAJOR change occurs.  I'm not talking about situations where you post your schedule at the first of the week and get booked up during the week.  We are all used to hearing, "...yes, I am working that day... but just not with your last-minute ass..."!  

Posting schedules would be easy and beneficial for Independents, but is even more important for Agencies.  I've stopped using any Agency that doesn't most their schedules.  

In town or not working will do.  I do not think the community is expecting a Twitter update.  I am certain there is not much difference between "not working today" to "already booked", you are not available.  But some do not even schedule their preferences due to their other commitments they already have.  Some have web site tab for schedule but have not completed them.  Its a hassle to click on a website tab and not work.  Some of us have stopped calling them.  Hell there are some of us think they have been hacked and tracing the IP. LOL.  So much about paranoia.  

We do know know popular person such as yourself does book up, traffic sensitive and chaos that go along with it.   But we also know you are highly responsive to our call, reviews to see when you are available, and do almost anything to meet our meeting schedule.  With a 100 reviews we know your safe, reliable, and fun.  I think this post is for those schedule that we do not know as much about and directed more to agencies.

PS: (Post Sex) Your email follow-though was very impressive.

In the case of Indy's is your primary interest to see the days blocked off for Aunt Flo?  Or perhaps start and stop hours?  

I'm Indy and although I have and maintain a pretty up to date calendar I don't put strict hours in because I schedule dates by appointment.  I will make an effort to accomedate someone same day but it's very difficult.

Many, myself included don't hang by a phone or email or check this board for possibilities daily therefore if I don't have a date scheduled I'm busy doing other things.  It makes it rather useless to put up hours if I haven't been contacted early in the day or a day or two ahead.  

It's not a matter of being difficult at all.  I will consider updating my calendar to show off days due to female cycle but even that is often unpredictible.

HTH

Ginger - I agree that it's probably harder for an independent than an agency to post schedules, and I assume most of us guys are used to this.  I was more thinking of agencies.

For an agency with an incall where the girls are all sitting there during available times, that would make sense. Otherwise, posting a weekly schedule with specific dates and times of availability is roughly equivalent to using fake photos: sure, that gorgeous twenty-something model whose photo you saw on the agency website- the one with perfect skin, glossy hair, and straight teeth- might faintly resemble the wrinkly, saggy, hag with halitosis who answers the door at the incall...if you squint really hard and are utterly wasted.... but there is an enormous discrepancy between what you saw posted on the website and reality. Now, if you guys are honestly okay with this sort of thing, we will absolutely start posting weekly schedules. And my hiring process just got a hell of a lot easier.

There are agency incalls housing girls sitting around, waiting for the next guy to roll through?  LOL, that's kind of funny, sad and depressing.  WOW

No, Meagan, I'm just talking about a simple schedule put out Sunday night (for example) that says something like:

Meagan's Tentative Schedule:
Monday:  11:00 - 5:00
Tuesday:  Unavailable
Wednesday:  1:00 - 7:00
Thurs: Unavailable
Friday : 12:00 - 12:00
Sat/Sun: Unavailable

So we don't waste our times calling to see if you work weekends, sending emails, not getting responses, etc.  

Quiet simple actually.

Your response is illogical as hell, and I now see why your ladies also work as Indies!  

Are you implying that those well-known, well reviewed Agencies in town, that do post schedules are akin to bait-and-switch pimps with street walker whores?  That's what it sounds like, and if I was the owner of those agencies I would take issue with your ridiculous characterization.  

If you are too fucking lazy to post schedules, that is one thing, but to disparage those that do with such stupid comments is something else entirely.

I would have to agree.  I think most ladies know their schedule well enough to be able to post it on their site or in the ads they put up every week.  I am a student and my schedule certainly does fluctuate with the extra things I have to do besides attending class (life) but I choose to publish my schedule because most gents who peruse my blog know that I am a student and ask as to my availability.  Publishing just makes it easier on the fellas and easier on myself.

Keeping you informed,

Alexandria Fox

I have my touring on there, unavailable days, days I will be in Atlanta, Montgomery, Opelika/Auburn, Valley, Phenix City, et cetera.....If it's blank, I'm available with 2 hours notice.....

But I would say 90%  don't look at it and just email and ask me.

Teasing of course.  You have many great looking women

Sadly my short window travel notices and her popularity just don't connect.  But you can't get a more organized lady who is super nice with the see you next time notes. Sigh

As one poster noted Essential Referrals maintains the ladies' schedules, and then they just change the color to let you know: she's on but booked up.  Of course, not all ladies or agencies should have to be webmasters to sell ass, so hey if you can't figure it out I'll just keep calling back: over and over again.

If you go to the Toronto boards and look through a handful of the agency sites you will see that MOST (like at least 70%) post schedules of which days the provider is on and when she starts and when she ends the day.  This is common practice up there, so it must be possible . . . and they're not even real capitalists

So just keep in mind, just because you don't do it does mean it isn't possible, or even a standard feature in another market.  Just like GREEK in Brazil!

Keep my calendar updated but either guys never looked or just didn't pay any attention to it. Almost every email I received asked when I was available... So, I've left it alone the past couple of months. I had been planning on keeping it updated more often or coming up with more simple way of posting my weekly availability. I never really liked the calendar on my site.

Although with an agency I believe its very beneficial so the owner isn't always giving you a list of names over the phone. Then you have to go back to website and figure out which girl you would like to see.
Instead of having an idea already as to who you'd like to see before you even make the call!

You make them happen…. . . .  You rock!

BonneChance
PS: (you know)  You make luck happen. . . keep creating that magic.

Yet I get "Where are you?" or "where will be on "x day" next month?", every single day.  More often than not the info is out there but folks don't look for it.  

I am completely free after 2pm today!

It is very hard for me to post a schedule for one because I only see a few gents a week. MOST of my fun  time is pre booked BUT I have had 4 last minute request today alone! I can not accomodate them all but that simply books me for the day and tomorrow. I just dont have time to constantly go and update my schedule. I would have to do this several times a day for it to work right.
Hope this helps explain atleast my situation with posting a shcedule. I just tell everyone I am available just about anytime with notice. Just a one or two day notice makes all the difference in the world but that is another topic for another day.
Hugs and kisses

Its all about creating and painting a picture of fantasy and somewhat expectation. I think you know all about that.  One of setting expectation for indies are that of limited commodity.  So the limited time thing for you is an advantage.  This is not so with agencies.   So in plain TER language, if you say " I am available 24x7" then even though you may be open to an all day event,  the value diminishes.  Or, an expectation of value.  Its a funny thing.   So if your scheduling process diminishes value ..... then, it may not be so advantageous.  On the other hand ... you match your openings (pun unintended) to your repeat client market for those "prime time" (limited time),  then a habitual client can be groomed.  So on the action plan you may want to consider are:
*Consistent day and or by consistent time to announce availability at least weekly.  (This sets an activity for future client to think about it all week for that day, expectation).
*What ever update or no update during the week... do not change that expectation.
*Announce vacations or outings long time ahead. (You can call me (email) on this for why)
*Think in terms of consistent schedule will attract more repeating weekly appointments.  (As much as adventure we seek, we are still creature of habit and seek habit. Its instinct.)

This discussion leads to how to keep a client. . . and that is for another day.... (You see I am creating another impression for a limited commodity and perhaps high value).

See you soon Terri...

It's called a sense of humor, John. You really must get one.
My response was an explanation of my OWN personal reasons for not posting a schedule. I made a humorous comparison between posting an exact schedule on our website (thereby portraying it as true information) and posting fake photos on our website (also portraying as true information). At no point in time did I make reference to any other companion or agency. However, YOU referred to them as "bait-and-switch pimps with street walker whores". I'm having trouble finding where I used that phrase in my response to your question- probably because that is YOUR "ridiculous characterization", not mine. Pretty insulting indeed.
You might want to bother doing a little research next time before you call someone's character into question, lest you should appear like even more of an ill-informed troublemaker and general jackass. I am a firm believer in giving moral support and a helping hand whenever possible to ANY other ladies involved in this business, whether they are independent companions or agency owners. Everyone who knows me will attest to that, and every comment I have ever made on this board supports it.
You phrased your OP as a sincere question- you asked what our reasons might be for not posting schedules. That is why I, and several others, took the time to respond. There's no benefit to ourselves from responding to questions on the discussion board- we answer because we're nice people who don't mind taking time out of a very busy day to do someone a favor and answer their questions. I'll think twice before I bother doing that again. If you didn't really care about our reasons, and you were just hoping that your expert opinion would influence a few ladies to do things your way, you should have posted on the suggestion board where it belonged.
A narrow mind, a bad attitude, and a keyboard are not good bedfellows. This is exactly why there aren't more participants on these boards.

I agree completely with you.

See you soon! Mmm I just LOVE your skills!
Hugs and kisses
