I think us ladies have to keep each other safe, I'm happy to provide references, and am grateful to those ladies who are also reference friendly. It makes the screening process much faster and easier for everyone! I'm also not insulted one bit- have to taste the rainbow sometimes ;) xoxo

I don't know if this topic has been discussed before but I couldn't find anything searching on 'referrals' in the last 300 days.
This is really directed at you ladies. How do you feel when a client uses your name as a referral? Do you prefer they get permission from you first? And if they do, do you think something along the lines of 'What's the matter with me? Why is he going to someone else?', etc. I may well be over thinking it, but the whole thing makes me a little uncomfortable, for whatever reason.

I have heard only one horror story of a girl getting angry at a client for using her as a reference but I think the majority of us are happy to give references!

I let everyone know before they leave (or I leave) to please feel free to give my name as a reference, I want my clients to play safely, with great girls, it keeps us all out of trouble :)

If it's been a while since you've seen someone it's nice to send her a note, remind her how wonderful you were and let her know that you've given her name to someone.  This is what we do, most of us support other ladies AND our great clients, don't be uncomfortable!
I even happily suggest other ladies I hear good things about and have had ladies suggest me to their clients, as well!   It's the circle of trust, haha :)

Play safe and have fun!!

and I am reference friendly. I do try and get back as soon as possible with the other provider. No I am not insulted. Its business its not personal. I have also have heard horror stories. But I do believe the number is higher for providers who do give references. Your best bet and easiest way to do it is to give a heads up to the provider you are using as said reference. I would never give a reference to a provider who did not provide me with her own information such as website, TER id #..etc.. You never know who exactly is contacting you. That is another reason it is always best to give the provider a heads up you are using her.

Easy way to establish an openness with a provider is at the end of the session, you casually ask if you can use her as a reference. :)


ALways helps when you see this on a providers website!!

I will gladly reassure you that almost all of us are reference friendly. We built this extraordinary network and we keep each other safe. I provide references and I am always grateful when I receive them.

This being said, there are a few things to consider when requesting references.

Gentlemen,
It is always helpful if you also contact the lady you are using as a reference, but it is not required. Not only is this a common courtesy, but this also allows your references to check their records and respond faster.
Give it a day or two. Most of us try to respond asap, but from my experience, it sometimes takes a day or even two to receive an answer.
Make sure that your references' contact info is accurate and send this to the new provider. Don't just tell her you saw Mimi from Miami.
Update your references. Don't use the same old reference too often. This is a red flag for us.

Ladies,
Don't just say "He's fine." For example, it would be helpful to know if you saw him more than once, more than a year ago and if you would consider seeing him again.
Please include as much information as you know about him in your original request (P411, e-mail, phone number...), as well as your information (website, TER...).
Try to respond asap. Please.
Say 'Thank you!'

Let's keep each other safe,

Anais

...I am reference friendly (giving and receiving). I prefer not to give a reference to someone if it's been more than 1yr since i've seen them and rather not take reference for a lady if it's been more than 1yr since he's seen her.  I implore ladies to check with me if someone is using me as a reference especially since i've had good clients go bad. References are about safety so I don't get jealous this isn't match.com and people need to stop acting like it is or being jealous of financial reasons because i'm sure there are plenty of clients to go around.

I always reply to they lady asap. I also let my gent friends that they can always use me as a reference. The important thing is that we keep our circle safe! :)

I feel that it is my duty to other ladies in the business to provide referrals.  However, I always give totally honest referrals, so if a gentleman has been less than good to me, I will let her know. I will let her know of any quarks that may be of concern, and I will let her know of anything he particularly likes to help their evening evolve positively (an example: he really loves white lingerie, he has a deep interest in art history, he doesn't like women to ask about the next date in person etc...).

I never give referrals to a man I have not seen in over 1 year. If it's been 6 months since I've seen him, I'll mention that to the lady as well.

Beware that there are ladies who do get upset when their gent sees someone else, they feel threatened.  Make sure the lady you use as a referral is someone you trust. A good hint: if a lady is happy to recommend her friends to you, than she is likely a lady who does not mind providing a referral.

Generally speaking I connect gents I like with ladies I respect, so there is no classical referral as I am in fact making the introduction.
