I noticed that many of the top tier providers ask for "references." Can someone clarify what the provider is looking for?

I was thinking of putting my boss' number then I realized he would probably start questioning my sanity. I have seen a dozen girls so far in 2012 am I supposed to get a reference from one of them?

Thanks for any insight.

We do mean references from one or two ladies that you have seen.

you as a good client. It is a good idea to let the lady know you are using her as a reference.

i would sign up for p411..once your there you collect references or okays..the provider looks up your profile after a request to see her..everything she needs to know about you is right there in front of her..it makes her decision much easier instead of contacting different references which takes up their time..the key is how many okays you have..once you have enough very few providers will have not have any reason to tell you no..some require more but they are rare and looking out for their safety..

am such a noob and have no references??? how would i go about obtaining without paying a site???

They are asking for provider references. References from ladies that you have seen with the year. They have to be reputable, well known provider, with several reviews on TER, they have a website and email and a history of posting ads on different sites.

Most providers will email your provider references. So when you would like to see a provider please email her your reference's name , link to website and email address. Most providers prefer/require 2 references.

Many providers will not see clients without references, and they often will make this clear on their website. Others will do work verification. You give them your real name and the phone number of your main office, they call and ask for you, and when the phone call is forwarded they typically just hang up. This way they have verified that you are a legit regular person. It is also helpful to join P411, as they will do the same employment check. Once you have seen one provider who gives you an okay, the next time it is easier.

Find a provider who is newbie friendly and see her so she can at least be one reference for you.

I always suggest to newbies that they join P411, then after they have seen me, I will OK them on there. I haven't come across anyone yet that couldn't get verified on there. The only drawback, is that some ladies still will not take your P411 membership by itself, UNTIL you get OK's on there. But, P411 does have a feature once you sign up, for which ladies will see you w/only the membership, & which one's require 1, 2 or more OK's on the site.

Yea! There was a regular of mine from another state that asks for a reference once a week. LOL That little man whore.   Its very easy for me to remember him and quickly let the girl know he's OK.

thank you all for the feedback hopefully i can get this figured out and get a few references under my belt

As others have said we are looking for PROVIDER references of ladies you have seen that were providing a service for a fee. Some ladies only accept references while some are newbie friendly and will screen you other ways AND glad to give you a reference if all goes well.

I once had a gentleman give me a stripper as a reference. He was even kind enough to give me the strip club's name to call and ask for her. And once I even had a guy give me some ex gf as references. He even gave me their e-mails and phone numbers...

I am finding some helpful information as a newbie and the importance of references/screening.  Unfotunately, for me as a self-employed man with a new business I am having trouble getting approved by screening services.  I completely understand and respect the need for discretion and more importantly safety for the providers.  However, as my business is new I do not have a publicaly listed phone number for the business, no business phone number, no business website yet etc.  As such, Date Check declined me.  I have an IRS assigned EIN and am in good standing with the state of Maryland where the business is registered.  The business address is my home address and I have lots of documentation to prove it.  In looking over P411 and RS2K I am not confident I will be approved for the same reason as Date Check.  What else can I do as a self employed newbie?  I have all the existing business documentation proof, I would provide my driver's license, bank statements with account numbers blacked out, cell phone bills, vehicle registration, resume etc.  All the information will match my home adress of over six years. Please help advise me I am getting very discouraged.  Thanks!

If you don't have a listed none number and no website...How do you get business? Where do you advertise?
