Well said...This should have been resolved between the two parties and not gone public regardless of who was at fault.

Many ladies will vouch that you can hire a screener for only screening. They usually charge around $25 for screen, and most screeners ask that you prepay beforehand, so that this kind of thing doesnt happen, where the screener isnt paid. It is not the screener's fault if the man she screened decides to cancel or not book. It is up to the girl to know if she feels good enough to go ahead with the screening of someone she thinks is serious. Because of this, many screeners offer a monthly rate on unlimited screening. This way, she is paid her monthly screening fee, and also the girl doesnt lose money if someone decides not to book after being screened. This is the way it is
Then there are assistants. Assistants can arrange hotels, air travel, ads, bookings, screening... But this is a negotiation determined between the assistant and the girl. Rates vary depending on the amount of things the assistant is required to do. Again, assistants ask to be paid in advance, so this kind of thing never happens where they are not paid.
Then there are agencies. Agency does it all for the girl. Some ask the girl splits the cost of hotels and airfare. Agency advertises the girl, books, and hopefully they also screen. In return, the girl gives agency half their money from each booking, or another percentage if that was the negotiation.
Sounds like this girl is used to agency work, so she expects the advertising to be included by someone she hires for screening. But that is not the case. Unless it is also arranged beforehand to do both screening and advertising, which would then make Nicole more of an assistant then just a screener. Either way, the screening should be paid upfront so that these issues don't arise. And the girl should understand the screener is paid if she screens, regardless if the girl was busy or not. I don't like drama, nor the outtings of women when they should sort it out between themselves in privacy. I just thought I would clear up the matter on the way screening is done, and any provider who knows the ropes, will agree this is how it's done. Nicole should be paid for screenings she did. And the drama and fighting should stop. Both ladies should not work together again, and try to just move on. The girl should learn from her mistake of expecting too much from a screener. Nicole should expect prepaid screening in the future. And better communication all around would be best next time.
