My pet peeve is providers who don't return
messages (either phone or e-mail or TER pms).

I would see some providers more often if they
would make it easier to schedule appointments.

One provider I contacted a week ago about seeing
this week, never called or e-mailed back.

I've seen her several times, but each time
reaching her depends on pure luck.  Since
I couldn't reach her, I went with a different provider.

I second that.  My personal experience is that the number of providers who will return calls is outnumbered by those who don't by about three to one.  More than once I've ended up with my second (or third or fouth) choice based on who will answer and return calls.

I just hate when that happens, also. There was a good discussion on the National board about that several days back.I provided the link below.

That being said...You have a great provider in the Twin cities, Redhead, who has just been a real pleasure in communicating with.
I had heard that she may be visiting the big apple in the fall so I just thought I'd give her a quick hello and welcome and I must say her timely response and subsequent "non-business like" e-mails have been a breath of fresh air. I can't wait for her visit.

Cheers,gorgeous Redhead!

And Redhead has reasonable rates too!  But if a girl is hard to get hold for me more than once I give up on her for good.  Life's too short to waste time like that.

Usually I'll persue my hobby in the TC area, which means a trip over from Wisconsin.  Not that big a deal, but to go to the trouble for your fourth choice really makes you think twice about doing that in the first place.  Granted, schedules can change, etc. and that's part of it.  But it does seem to happen a lot.

I usually try about 3 times (well spaced - days or weeks apart). If no reply by then i move on. So far I've only had 1 call returned in the last 6 months. Agencies work best for me because they have someone on staff to answer the calls

Remember, many of these calls come in from guys who are #blocked, or "out of area" or "name witheld".  This makes it difficult for a girl to verify or even call back.

A lot of clients don't realize how many calls are flaky, suscipious, rude or just weird.  Also, the sheer volume of calls and e-mail is overwhelming. Junk mail adds to the clutter.

It is a catch-as-can world.  Your best bet is to call back multiple times over several days.  If that doesn't work, maybe you should think about some of the other providers.  Don't talk too long, don't be too impersonal - be real. Remember messages are hard to return.

Sorry, demand is incredible - if your wives, girlfriends, and other struggling girls only knew....

It is difficult to make a decision on calling back if over an hour has passed.  Since most massage appoinments last one hour, if you are working alone or only working with one other person, it may take an hour to get to the message.  I would suggest that you leave somewhere in your message that a return call would be okay at any time.
