Whenever I'm away I get calls for my home city and guys that booked in advance for the tour cancel.
If I don't have anything booked the tour is canceled. I'd rather stay at home in my own bed.Several years ago when escorts first started to tour various cities guys would make a great effort to pre-book time with a lady they really wanted to see. I've noticed that when I tour these days many of my requests come in last minute or during the hours that I'm traveling to any given destination.
I used to have a policy that I wouldn't board the plane unless my schedule was full. It seems like every time I've pulled a tour last minute based on not being fully booked I get the two or so calls I needed to fill it shortly after I've already cancelled the trip.
I'm just wondering how guys currently feel about pre-booking a traveling pro? Has the number of traveling pros increased so much that you don't feel like you need to pre-book or are you motivated by just one or two ladies to get your appointment time penciled in?
I'm also wondering if any other ladies cancel if they're not fully pre-booked or if they head off to their chosen adventure knowing that they'll fill their schedule?

Hi as a well reviewed provider who only tours I've struggled with this as well....although I've noticed that even when I let people know far in advance that I'll be touring not everyone can predict their schedules that far in advance so I've at least covered step one letting my lovely friends know I'm coming. Even on the seemingly slow looking tours I've booked up last minute...if you are on point, consistent and a joy to be around you will get booked even if it takes your gentleman to the day they are free to ask if you are! My first trip to NY I had nothing planned and it was looking dismal at best but I met some now amazing friends that I've seen in other cities now. Keep an open mind and a half glass full attitude and karma will smile in your direction! Be safe, have fun and enjoy life!
Cheers

Thank you for your reply Sara. I used to tour twice a month but haven't been able to do so as much after moving to Florida to open my own business. This industry is like any other and if you step away (even for a minute) you're likely to miss something. Without having a recent tour history it's been difficult to gauge trends and how they've changed, improved etc. I've cancelled over a handful of local tours around Florida because I wasn't sure... and every time I've regretted it when the calls started coming in. lol!!
Needless to say, you're reply is reassuring and informative. Thank goodness I used to live in NYC so I know there's always a few friends I can catch up with when in the city on tour. Your honesty about coming to NY with nothing on the books is simply bad ass!!! You've got guts because the city isn't cheap. I can't say I'd do the same. I have no idea who you are Sara Marie but I already know I like you!
Stay safe and sweet!!!

booked this morning for Fri.
Just did so recently but she had to cancel because her dance card didn't fill up enough. Then again, sometimes I'll try for something last minute just because my own circumstances have changed. I certainly understand if she can't accomodate me. That's life.
I can understand why your lady cancelled based on her open time slots. That's why I'm glad Sara said what she did about a tour looking dismal at the start but ending up being out of this world toward the end. I haven't toured in a while so I'm not as popular as I used to be (boo hoo!! ; ) and have been a little hesitant to tour places I haven't been to in a while. NYC is never a problem for me but places like Chicago and DC I get a little nervous.
I had a recent Chicago trip planned with two solid dates in the book. I felt that I still didn't get enough pre-book bites so canceled only to have a handful of people tell me they had been waiting to see me after I had already changed my plans. One person had even arranged his work schedule in order to be in Chicago at the same time I was. If I started this post a month or so earlier and read Sara's reply I probably wouldn't have canceled that trip and probably would have had an outstanding time. I won't be canceling in the future!!
My schedule often changes pretty quickly and as a result I almost never schedule anything much in advance. The last thing I want to do is cancel on someone when they could have booked time with someone else that I had blocked. I find it is better to take my chances last minute than risk screwing a provider because of last minute changes to my schedule.

Same here (e)
Same unpredictable scheduling problem for me. I have never NCNSed anyone or cancelled or rescheduled without ample notice (24 hours or more). I have sometimes pre-booked with touring ladies emphasizing to my date that she should use pencil and have no qualms about booking someone else in "my" place. I am usually able to call several hours in advance (the afternoon of an evening appointment) to compare our schedules (and confirm whether I am now able to commit or whether she erased me and has no more availability).
For PLANNING a tour, that sounds kind of wishy-washy on my part ("I hope to see you next week ... maybe ... if I can keep my schedule clear.") but that's the best I can do these days. An expression of interest doesn't pay the bills.
For whatever it's worth, I do not ask to be penciled in unless there's a good chance I can actually make it. I'm probably batting around 80% being able to finalize a meeting during a given tour, even if it's not the original time slot
... and the prior contact gives her ample time to pre-screen me so there isn't any last minute problem with that.
I rarely know my availability in advance. The nature of my job is that sometimes things come up that keep me at work.
I hatehatehate canceling on a girl. I know that scheduling and then canceling costs them money. Especially if they are travelling.
So, I never try to get a girl to come to town. If someone that I like is coming to town, I contact them to get pre-verified and ask if they mind that I'll probably be trying for short notice appointments.
90% of the time, when I try to see someone, they are already booked, but that's the price I pay for my availability situation. I'd rather fail to get an appointment then make one in advance and have to cancel.
If my schedule were more easily managed, then I'd be happy to pre-book. Though I wouldn't pay a deposit, which is often a requirement to get someone to come to town. I have no problem with women needing a deposit to book a trip, but I've been burned that way, so I wait until they are coming to town on their own.
I hope this doesn't mean you are canceling your trip to NY this week?
Once I receive the funds, than I book my travel.
No problems.
I think I speak for a lot of guys who won't give a deposit to a girl.
First, I like cash.
Second, I don't want to lose my deposit.
I've heard too many stories about guys who give a girl a deposit and then something happens (the girl's flight gets delayed/cancelled, the girl gets sick, family emergency, Hurricane, snowstorm etc) and the appointment doesn't happen and for whatever reason there is a problem with the deposit. I don't want to get into that potential problem.
I understand that there are reliable and reputable girls who conduct business this way- getting deposits up front, and it seems to work out for them and they don't have issues or any problem gets resolved. I'm sure that is the situation with Madame Patricia that everything goes smoothly.
BUT, I think that most guys are like me, and won't give a deposit. So my response to your question is that I think that a girl, especially one who is new or somewhat new to touring, should feel free to travel with some timeslots not filled, in the hope that a last minute gentleman will contact her to book an appointment. Good luck to you!
for someone else's hobby. Not theirs.
The risk of NCNS/canceling/etc in hopes that their investment (hotels/advertising/flights/taxi/etc) will pay off in a biz that's so high risk and ever increasing...huh
Oh course this is in regards to highly reputable providers.
Not just providers with reviews on here...that doesn't constitute credibility. I'm talking about provides whom talk pride in their biz and what they do.
Just something to think about.
Odd how we're supposed to trust y'all to show up but when the tables are turned....hmmm, that speaks volumes!
I once sent a deposit and the female cancelled her visit. Took forever to get my money back. Never again.
No problems.
Market analysis 2013....jus sayin
good luck with asking for deposits.
No problems.
And I would make clear if I didn't get enough pre-bookings I wouldn't show or state somewhere in the ad showing some kind of interest/pre-booking would let me know I won't be staring at the ceiling or twiddling thumbs OR flippin' my bean hoping someone MIGHT book last minute.
There have been occasions where I'd get little to no pre-bookings and decide to cancel and/but on the day before or of (especially day of) I was to be there I'd get flooded with "are you available" or "I'd like to see you at xxx tonight" appts. It would blow my mind ESPECIALLY if I had been advertising 3wks or more ahead of time without not as much as a peep (or not many) and THEN everyone comes out of nowhere lol smh.
THEN there have been times where I thought at first to cancel because of low amount of pre-bookings and went anyways and it went REALLY WELL (sometimes not so much). There are some places after trial&error I would NOT touch ever again without small deposits.
some of the boys seem to be a bit bitter in their comments?
I get a sense of some of the boys being messed about a few times over ad that is not cool, but returning to your point, I would say it takes two to tago and so yes, it would be nice if the boys (who have not being shot in the balls by recession) could make the effort to let touring ladies know well in advance.
perhaps this could be the needed gentle reminder

I wont go anywhere out of my home area without being already booked . I do not screen while I am working and with people at all. Ether they are screened and booked and have planned a time with me or they can't see me .I , when working want my head on the people I am with not who maybe could want to see me .It is either your booked or your not .I check references on the days I am not already working . So if was I go to say CT , which I do sometimes , I will not go without the bookings I need to make that trip work .
I am happy to say I rarely get a cancellation the guys have been pretty good to me in that regard . I do not currently require deposits because I have not had issues with NCNS .If I did I would probably start doing that . If I was to travel somewhere far away for me I would for sure not go without all time slots I wanted to be working filled . Have a great day , Miss K
...I cannot afford the time or dollars to sit in a $500, or more room, waiting for an e-mail to come through. I will not travel to a city unless I have a set number of hours (not dates) pre-booked.
Hugs and Kisses,
Kelly
There would be less cancellations on the girls behalf.
I wish I was smarter and took deposits. ... the cancellation rate on guys behalf cost me a ridiculous amount and after this trip I don't see a return past new mexico lol
For those who absolutely cant prebook, prescreen at least ! Screening during a tour is impossible without proper means.
Whenever I'm away I get calls for my home city and guys that booked in advance for the tour cancel.
If I don't have anything booked the tour is canceled. I'd rather stay at home in my own bed.
