Thank you for your insightful perspective. I don't understand having an assistant that is not upfront. I aim and expect them to have an air  of professionalism and kindness. They are there to assist and make screening simple and hastle free. I enjoy interacting with my customers where the time permits, as I believe a pre-established connection heightens the enjoyment.

Being a kiwi, and new to the US I have found the whole screening system overwhelming.  
It's legal back home, we have no worry of LE or troubled clients so screening is pretty much non existent.

So I'm curious do you avoid girls with assistants? Or are you fine with them?

I am uncomfortable with guys. I'm slightly uncomfortable with women who are significantly older than the provider, but I can usually power through. :) I think the more the screener reminds me of myself, either by being a guy or by being older, the more self-conscious I become. Having said that, a really sweet, charming, flirty, older woman can turn me to putty.

I didn't realise male assistants were a thing. A sweet and charming lady is the way to go.

I have no problem with an assistant or extra screening if the provider is my type.  

If you are thinking about getting an assistant Giselle, do whatever makes you feel safe and happy.

Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words.

Even if it is a little off dealing with a third party. If I know I'm dealing with an assistant, my communications are very business like. Dealing with the lady directly gives me a sense of who she is based on her response.

But since you're not comfortable with the screening process it's not a bad idea for you.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I agree, correspondence gives you an insight and helps build connection. Therefore when  permits (as I work corporate) I do like to engage with my customers prior to our appointment,

Not at all. It's good to have somebody dedicated to taking care of the administrative side and just being able to be available to pick up the phone instead of being on an appointment. I feel that booking assistants are definitely the way to go, especially if you're from out of town. There is something to be said for knowing the lay of the local land from a safety standpoint.

Thank you so much! This is not my only profession, I work corporate. An assistant would ensure a prompt response and keep me safe.

I dislike dealing with assistants.  I won't deal with a male assistant, but will occasionally tolerate a female one, if it is a girl I really want to see.

What is it about dealing with assistants you dislike?  
I would like to make the process as pleasent as possible for people.

Pro: Assistants are (usually) good communicators, which helps make the booking process smooth and efficient.

Con: Only communicating with the assistant and never actually communicating with the lady is something I don't like.  That setup doesn't give me a sense of the lady (and conversely doesn't give the lady a sense of me).  Makes it feel too much like a business transaction and less of a fantasy.

In the end, I would much rather prefer communicating only with the lady herself, but having to deal with an assistant is NOT a deal breaker.

I utterly agree with you  about the effect of  only conversing with an assistant. Where time permits after screening is complete  I prefer to engage with my future date. I find the personal connection enhances the experience

Generally if it helps communication its fine, but there is still something lost when you are not communicating directly with the provider.   Also I've had numerous instances where the assistant has failed to pass on some info/request to the provider -- 2 levels of communication mean 2 places where info can get lost.

Had a great time with a girl from Brazil who spoke very little English.  She had an assistant who did a great job handling the phone, screening, and booking...and was very pleasant.

Things went very smoothly in the room as the girl knew what to expect. She has a notepad with a few phrases translated like:  "Would you like to shower?"  "Do you need a towel?"  etc.

The provider was booked most of the day and would not have been able to answer the phone anyway.  The assistant did a great job and made everything go smoothly.

Some assistants try to come across all coo-cooing and pretending to be the girl in the ad. You show up at the room and the voice is different, she has no recollection of the stuff you spoke about on the phone and only then do you hear, "Oh, that was my assistant." It can almost be classified as Bait and Switch, depending on how important the phone call interactions were to seal the deal.  

In some cases, the messages don't get thru, e.g., wardrobe requests. In some cases, the misunderstandings are worse. (I had some of those in my early goings.)  

I have also dealt with excellent assistants who ID themselves as such explicitly ("I'm her assistant and would be happy to help you.") or implicitly but clearly ("I'm sure she'd love to meet you on Tuesday. Let's work out the details.").  

Clearly, I am fine with the assistants who make their role clear and act professionally.

They are there to assist and make screening simple and hastle free. I enjoy interacting with my customers where the time permits, as I believe a pre-established connection heightens the enjoyment.

First: I tried to look at your personal website, gisellemcpherson.com . It doesn't load for me. I get nothing. I, and many others, use TOR Browser or other VPN or proxy server.  I always post the same advice:  
This ain't Disney. This ain't yahoo news. We (clients) need to keep things simple and safe. NO FLASH! NO SCRIPTS! and so on. Please test your website using TOR and ask your webmaster to make it TOR friendly.  

Back to assistants ... I think that some escorts just want to get the guys in. If sweet talking can seal the deal, that's what the assistants do. Some low-end girls share a room or apartment and a phone and just answer "yes" to everything to get the guy to head on over ASAP. The ad is for Mary, Susie answers the phone (but says she is Mary), and Carol meets him at the door (but says she is Mary). No wonder he's disappointed ... but that's the low end.  

I made an appointment with a well reviewed touring Provider, had 2 or 3 brief, friendly phone conversations to inquire, follow up on references and confirm.  Each time, she led me to believe she was my date. I called 10 minutes before the meeting and the voice on the phone didn't sound the same; she said she needed more references; etc., etc.. Turns out it was the assistant -  Provider screw up and I ended up wasting around 4 hours (prep, travel, etc.) in the process.

It feels like some ease dropping. But I can understand how the providers like it.  It like what was said previously , if she is good and tells you this at the get go and communicate to the provider the correspondence then cool.  
Otherwise it really just feels like a transaction all the way around. JMHO 😀   But damn you are gorgeous!!

Why thank you, that is so sweet of you to say.  
Thank you for taking the time to respond. Your feedback was insightful  
I have hired an assistant who is completely upfront  to help with screening, and organising apppintments. With my other profession this allows for a more prompt response. Once screening is completed I like to interact with my future date to build a connection prior to our date.

They can be a real pain in the ass to get references from but sweet as pie when they need one.

firstly, I hope this message finds you well.  
secondly, have you met Bonnie?  
OUTSTANDING.... imho

She's the exception...I have spoken with her yes ❤

I contemplated doing the Indy thing without an assistant, but also for me Bonnie was the exception. Some assistants or agencies will just book an appointment and only tell you "you have a 4:00 with such and such" & and I'm sure providers that can relate will agree to the uncomfort level of that! Why pay a % when I could do it all myself? It has nothing to do with laziness on my part. Having her assist me takes the stress and hassle out of the business end of things so that I can focus solely on providing at my very best! It's a huge weight of my shoulders and truly makes this job more rewarding! She's exceptional with screening and is happy to provide references! I know she's very selective with whom she schedules for me, and if something's questionable we'll ALWAYS discuss it first. My comfort level is imperative to her, for that I'm thankful because she knows the more comfortable I am, overall the better provider I'll be. She likes to get a feel for my client's, their likes and dislikes, then fill me in before meeting them. This helps me know what to expect and gives me ideas on how to satisfy;) She's good at what she does, & All of that makes a world of difference for me! All of these qualities imo are very important factors one should take into consideration when looking to hire an assistant. It's a bonus that she's a former provider herself, finding someone who can totally relate and has experience is also key!  I know at the end of the day she always has my best interest at heart prioritized over making $$$. All this allows me peace of mind which imo is priceless :)  I can't recall ever having a client tell me they dislike the fact that I have an assistant, in fact I'm far more often told the opposite...

You're lucky to have the best in the business Bonnie!  She's lucky to have you too so it all evens out.

Bonnie, I trust as much as anyone in the biz
and Kylie... duh... just check her reviews. HOTTT!

Some of us know what is required and we are more than willing to give you the information you identify on your site.  I use a well known verification site to reach out to a lady I'm interested in meeting and all that data is already there.  It's when we get a note back that it's not enough and now more information is needed.  It would make things easier, if you ladies identify all of the data you want to verify us.  You may identify items that quite frankly I'm not so willing to provide.  

Believe me I do appreciate where you're coming from. How's this, I have a man who's been contacting me since  2006. He still refuses to give me references because it's too personal. Meet me for coffee and all that horse shit.  
Easy two verifiable provider references or p411

That is just too funny.  Since 2006 and he hasn't got the brass to pull the trigger.  

I've learned that P411 has made this so much easier for both parties.

My sexyasslass addy which was yes '06 when the Phoenix was still cool. Clearly he's not the fuzz but gahd knows....

Thank you for that feedback. I will make sure they are always sweet as pie. From what I can see in my email they respond my nicely and promptly to girls requests.

I've never dealt with a lady who had one, and certainly wouldn't have an issue with it. I mean - this IS a business, after all. Sometimes you need someone to handle the organizational end of things.

Ok well at least in my fantasy that's what happens and she's dressed like a librarian/secretary with spex appeal.

I dont understand why a provider would give up 20-30% to a assistant or even better yet 40-50% to a service. I'm sure it's just being lazy,but why expose yourself.

I can see it for some services if they provide a driver/security guy maybe. Also if they do a good job of screening the guys. But yes 40-50%  is a lot.

But I'm still not willing to give up 20% YET

I actually find your "LAZY" comment extremely  judgemental.  
For some girls this their full time job, they have all the time in the world for admin.  
Others work full time positions, and this is a side gig, so to them it makes sense to hire an assistant to respond Monday-Friday 9-5 as that is when most enquires come in and ensures Clients a prompt response.  

Others choose to hire assistants for additional screening safety. I was scammed and robbed when I first came to America. Some will say it was my own fault for not screening properly. I thought I did. I checked the website, I called the office, I checked the LinkedIn of all listed employees on the website. I got two provider references.

Turned out it was a long running scam so they have it down pat. They are now targeting internationals because they are well known amoungst America girls. I was left strandard in a town with no money, no credit cards unable to walk to the bank to withdraw cash  as my bank is overseas. I was left strandard while I waited for my Country to hit Morning so someone could wire me emergency funds.  

People can have reasons for doing the things they do...

That's really fucked up. That's an important message to share if you read about a new girl in town or perhaps on the Provider Only Board.

What a measured, courteous response to what was in my opinion an insulting and intellectually lazy inference.
