Same day?  Within several hours, in a 1/2hr...  

Honestly, it depends with me.  On my message I ask people to list the latest time I can call them back on the number.  Don't want to cause any issues for possible guests.  Do you let them know that?  Or just tell them to call you at a specific time.

Asking a provider to call you back at 10a or 2p is always hit or miss.  If we are scheduled at those times then we are unable to hit pause, take a timeout from what/how we are doing and give you a gingle.  If the provider has a busy day, it may mean she will not be able to return the call within the timeframes you ask because something else is going on.

If you tell them to call you back within a cetain time limit, same thing.  If you guess that all our dates are 1hr then you are most certainly mistaken.  I know that most of my schedulings are 1.5+hrs and some are 5hrs or overnights...  Kind of hard to say "ahhh btw I had someone who wanted me to call them back now" or take a call during those times.  Out of respect most of us turn off our phones during playtime.

If you are talking about giving a provider a day in which she could call you at anytime...  Depends when she gets your message, if you are clear as to if leaving a message is ok if she can't reach you and so forth.  

I am not trying to excuse it, but many guests might not know that we are out of town or already busy with another guest and can't call back at requested times.

If you have a couple ladies that don't frustrate you, call you back timely, and answer when you call then perhaps you should stick with them to keep your blood presure down.

BTW, some of the ladies and myself is definately included in this one have accidentally erased a message.  Once gone you can't call it back up, so I recommend following up.

Your time is just as valuable as ours, so don't think I am in anyway trying to excuse it.  Happens to us too.

if you call or send me a preferred email I'll be back to you like a car salesperson doing a followup. Mmmm, maybe that's because I used to be in sales. Oops, I still am.

Kisses,
Anneke

Please realize that providers live double lives just like you. The glaring difference is that we live the secret life every time the phone rings, which can be dozens of times per day (and in any number of compromising situations). Hobbyists only live that secret life when making or enjoying an appointment. Imagine trying to  juggle your job, family, interests and responsibilities if a different provider was calling you every five minutes. The fact is that providers are people just like you. We have families, hobbies, bad days and sometimes, no reception. Those us lucky enough, also have lots and lots of money to spend (spending is very time consuming). More money, more problems.
      On the other hand, it's sobering to hear that my response time is such a big factor in my reputation in the industry. I guess I assumed that both sides understand that sometimes, circumstances don't allow you to answer your "secret-life-phone-calls". I assumed that providers and hobbyists alike can only respond to so-many phone calls. Now that I think about it, it's probably my (the providers)job to try to be available to the other party. After all, it's more that a secret life for us; it's the means and the responsibility of our lifestyle. The process of a hobbyists' lifestyle can remain undisturbed if we never answer; but providers wouldn't function if we don't get the call in the first place. Thanks for the insight- I'll be more dilligent in accepting and returning calls from now on.
