So I've noticed a direct correlation between email professionalism and overall professionalism. Seems to me the ones who reply to my email or web form inquiry with a coherent, professional reply turn out to be the reliable ones.
I bring this up because I recently got stood up by a well reviewed - very well reviewed - lady in another city. And not once but twice in two weeks! Her emails were usually a mess - little usage of caps, sentence fragments, even asked for my phone number when 5 lines down in my included email was my phone number. I guess I should have seen all this as a sign.
The more typos, the less caps and punctuation... the more it looks like a text message... the more likely there could be problems.
Is it just me?
So I think I need to screen providers by having them write a 3500 word essay for me. Maybe Chase can help me grade them. 
Hm, now that I think about it, the one ripoff attempt (by someone who posts here) sent a decent looking email...
You're totally right - just treating people like they're human beings sometimes results in unexpected goodwill back your way. I don't understand how some people can be so rude to waiters or maids when they haven't done anything wrong. Besides, I don't want any extra bubbles in my food.
You beat me to it , and you took the words right out of my mouth!!!
I am glad to see other ladies who can treat this "hobby" as a business.Yes you can treat it like a business,and still very much enjoy what you do.
Like you I only see one client per day.
Ok so maybe my English isn't perfect.....but hey it is my 5th language.Yet still I am able to put 2 intelligent sentences together and hold a conversation.
When your "together" it isn't so hard to answer emails,answer your phone or call if you need to cancel/running late.
When your "together" you don't forget you had an appointment.You can show up on time ,not tired or distracted.
I do think that how someone communicates with you pre appointment can reflect on what you should expect later.
Although a decent email doesn't mean you won't get ripped off ..... for that you should still check ter 
No HeadHead66 it is't just you , I hear those stories all the time.
The weak excuses and headcases and unreliability - this is too MUCH of a "girlfriend experience." The only thing missing is the nagging!
So to Sara and Cindy and all the other ladies who treat the hobbyist with respect, who are organized and have it together, who keep their 1 or 2 hour dates even when someone else calls for an overnighter, who give it their best and keep smiling even when they're having a bad day, and who stay sweet even though they have to put up with 10 times more bullshit than I can even think of from sketchy guys, I think I speak for most here when I say we love you and appreciate what you do!
But Cindy, you mean "you're" not "your", right? (heh heh, you can slap me next time I see you... but I would probably like it)
"The weak excuses and headcases and unreliability - this is too MUCH of a "girlfriend experience." The only thing missing is the nagging!'
Well if you want a GFE you can't only get the good side of GFE
Since I am not insecure I THANK YOU for correcting my spelling ...... for how else will I learn ?
I didn't go to school to learn English ,I taught (did I spell that right ?) myself
So if that is the only thing you found ...... I am very proud of myself!!
but if you still want me to slap you, I can do that *wink wink*
