I am new to TER but not new to the hobbyist world. I pose a question from TER. Does the attitude of a young lady's assistant stop you from booking with her? I recently gave a young lady a call and her assistant was absolutely rude. The 'Who are you?" and the attitude when she realized it wasn't a call for her was just unbelievable. If her phone etiquette is horrible do you just skip to the next person on your "To-Do List"? Or deal with the nasty assistant? your thoughts are appreciated

Do you mean a girl taking calls for herself and also for another girl?  Please clarify.

It is so funny you mention this because the other day I was thinking to myself that I should once again consider getting an assistant to help me with confirming appointments, managing my schedule, taking care of screening and verifying, etc.  

The assistant is also a provider. Once I told her who I was calling for her whole attitude changed.

Yes. I believe even though a assistant is supposed to help involve your business and be the "bad guy" she should honor how you want your business ran. I think assistants are best for high volume providers or providers who are open to see "us last minute professionals". Sneaking off gets hard sometimes. lol Helpfully your testimony helps the provider I was looking to spend time with cause her assistant was awful. LOL

More like a rotten apple

...and I had a virtually identical phone encounter with her. Not only did it dissuade me from wanting to book with the provider, but given that the assistant also is a well-known provider as well, my fortuitous taste of her snotty attitude led me to cross her off my list too. What a crappy way to treat potential clients.  I wonder if the provider who is being "assisted" has any idea how much business she loses.

Ain't nothing SWEET about her one of my worst sessions with a provider seems to think she is doing you a favor left the session early and very unhappy not sure what anyone likes about the ole maid lol

I am guessing by the banter this is about me...

if you feel I am too short with you on the phone, well I can be abrupt.
My main concern is the ladies safety
I require a few things to take place to set up an appt.

My asking you *who is this*
sounds to me like you called and didnt introduce yourself. I am never going to have a conversation with someone I dont know who I am speaking to about the young lady or her whereabouts.
Many call and the first thing out of their mouths is *where are you located* no **hello this is so n so, Im calling about this young lady.**
So I ask *** Who am I speaking with*** and*** who are you calling for. ***
If you responded with *a paying client* instead of your name I am sure I gave your additude right back to you. Remember we are operating on the fringes here a straight shooter is the best policy to be screened.


If I dont know who you want to see I cant help you.
If I dont know who I am talking to I am not going to tell you where she is.

I take this business of safety very seriously.
I screen clients for more than just myself. I am all about her safety.

I have never been upset because the call was not for me. You are imagining that.
We are miles apart in personality and style the clients who see me are not the same clients who see the young lady.

Oh and Alias' grow some balls if you want to trash me...us your handle.
Im guessing you are on my DNS list...

So if you feel you want to see her without going through me, email her and set up an appt. You still will have to be screened so be ready to give her all your info.

I know I can come across abrupt. If you feel I was over the top Im sorry about that.

Now Quinn...I have been here a very long time and my rep is pretty solid.
I have never stolen from anyone outed anyone lied about anyone...i dont do drugs
so that puts me leaps and bounds ahead of you on the rep meter.
I could only improve your standings.

Everyone loves a bandwagon dont they!!

When your ego is so suffocating?  And I am sorry I should mention your ivy league education because you might have a cardiac event if it isn't mentioned.  BTW, if you have to charge more to be so affectionate then that is hilarious

If you are nice to me...Im nice.
But Im not a pushover.
So I guess it can rub someone the wrong way.

I can take something possitive out of this. Theres always a lesson and I will be more aware.

Maybe get some valume...lol (not really)...HMMMM maybe.

Happy Turkey day Benny!

Kisses!
Nicole

I've used Nicole as a reference and to book an appointment a few times  I've never had a problem

Who are you referring to?

When a Gent calls to make an appt most expect to speak with the lady if shes indy.
I answer the phone and I hear the let down in their voice when finding out I am an assistant, and not the lady.
Their flirtatious tone fades and honestly I think they expect me to some degree to flirt with them when Im friendly but business they see me as cold.

Someone has to do the paperwork and Im just the assistant Im not going to flirt with you.
Yet if you call for me it may come off a little different we may be a bit more flirtatious.
Im not unfriendly Im just doing my job.

Some men are generally turned off by a lady who has an assistant they want to only deal with the lady. No matter how friendly she is.

I have been doing this for a very long time, I have talked with thousands upon thousands of clients, and not everyones gonna like you.

Im not trying to excuse your feelings,or discount them...
It just is what it is. Im just making a point.
