I typically do not use PM for anything but to prove to the lady I am a VIP member with a white list.  It has always seemed to help my verification process.  

I personally don't like some of the forms some ladies use.  For example, I recently found a new lady I would like to meet.  She requires her form be completed.  There are two areas that are mandatory that I can not complete.  They are my employment info and a picture of me.

Now let me say I respect every lady here and her process.  I will not try to persuade anyone to do something they don't feel comfortable with.  But just as many ladies have their rules, I have mine.  This particular lady I reached out to her via PM and simply explained to her I couldn't complete her form do to these mandatory fields.  I asked her if I could make arrangements without using her form. I was hoping my VIP status, white list and numerous reference I could provide would be sufficient; however I never heard back.

I hope I didn't offend her because that was not my intention.  It was just a simple yes or no question.  If she said no I would totally understand and just move on.  

So, no I don't use PM to make arrangements but do use it to assist in verification.  My preference is using email and providing all info in a detailed email.  I also prefer dealing directly with the lady rather than an assistant.  I like to correspond a little before an initial meeting with who I am going to be meeting with

Put a statement on your web site saying you do not do bookings via PM's.

For an introductory contact. I keep it short and sweet. I mention I'll follow up with an email from my hobby email addy.  

If your assistant is VIP on TER, you can forward the PMs you receive to your assistant. You could also cut/paste the PMs  and email.  
 

I almost always make initial contact through pm and then see how it goes. Usually I don't text or call until the day of. It works great for me.

...it's fast and easy and the provider knows we're real and can quickly check out our white list

FYI...

Since 2008, when I began escorting, I've always had a personal assistant.  Unfortunately, one passed away, and the other retired.  

After much research, I have finally found someone whom I literally trust with my life (because she does my verification) and who also has a presence in the TER community.  She is a very reputable provider, who is a Ms. TER, and who also owns and manages a verification service for many TER providers across the USA.  Some of her clients (TER providers) do not tell hobbyists they have a personal assistant, and the hobbyists never know.  Because I am an honest and forthright person, I made the choice to announce that I have a personal assistant (as many upscale providers, and porn star providers do).

I have never been interested in the business aspect of escorting (verifying, booking, etc).  I prefer to be an independent provider, with a personal assistant, so I'm able to provide my clients with the best service available, and what they deserve when they choose to book a rendezvous with me.  I derive pleasure in pleasing, and as always...I arrive on time, and leave my clients on 'Cloud Nine' when I depart our rendezvous!

The reason I posted about receiving rendezvous requests via PM's, and how to deal with it, is because many of the hobbyists read my posts and without viewing my website, they PM me details of what they expect during a rendezvous.  Many of these PM's, contain inappropriate language and requests, so I made the decision not to book appointments via PM's.

I sincerely thank all of you that replied to my thread, and for your helpful input.
