When is too late in the evening to call a provider for a reference? This isn't supposed to be like a 24hr job, right? Of course, a provider can call me any time of night because we need to keep each other safe. But, do most providers feel that way?

I wouldn't even notice the wrinkled blanket.

I'm a provider. I usually email other providers for a reference, unless a phone number is the only way to contact them. I personally would prefer to be contacted only during reasonable hours (8ish-10ish for me...I'd have my phone off or on silent during other times). I get back to a lady as quickly as I can, but I don't think it's reasonable to expect an immediate reply (within 24-36 hours is reasonable).  

I am new here and have ben very lucky to have had some very patient ladies work with me. I expect to have to wait 48 hours or more to see someone. Like Voo-doo said just turn off the Phone and send them to spam. I do trust that you have a hobby only phone. I have not looked for your web site but spell out your expectations and politely (to start with )stick to them. Gently train the men you want to see, or maybe not so gently, but set your standards and stick to it. be safe and have fun.

OK, I kinda figured I was being weird about the used bed. LOL

She was considered high end ($1k+/hr) so naturally she claimed to have higher expectations from clients and really tried to meet that. IMO, she was probably one of the cleanest ones I've met in terms of hygiene and the way she kept her incall very tidy, clean, no mess, all personal stuff hidden from view.  Always smelled like she just came out of the shower and every part of her was clean.  

OMG I didn't even know that existed, and I have been taking in laundry for years! Thank you! I'm going to get it tomorrow when I go to get my incall stuff for Monday.

I always take care of the maids and people who bring me towels... (I rarely your but when I do rather be safe). I think being low volume or high volume really depends on your business model/your financial goals etc.. Nobody can actually tell you that for example, you can see one person a day at 1k, cover your expenses and be happy with the net profit staying at a 3-4 stars hotel or you can see 3 people at 350 per hour totaling almost 1k. I think it depends on the provider. Although seeing extremely few people a day would be best specially if you stay in hotels who are rather small and not with a lot of activity going on so nobody can question what you are doing.

I use my real phone, but I have Google Voice forwarding into it.  

I was seeing a provider close to my house.. I walked in.. laid on the bed.. felt something on my back.. it was a vibrator under the bed spread left from the last date.. turned me off.. That plus she smoked during the session.. so we do need our illusions.. so,  cleaning up  between dates is a good idea.. but wrinkles in the bed are not a big deal..

TER should have a category on the provider profiles that says:  blanket was wrinkle free: yes/no?

...some such, you can simply put your phone hours on your site then don't answer when someone calls outside of those stated hours. You are correct that a lot of no and don't on a website is a turn off. It's better to define the limits in a positive way and stick to them. This would apply to any limits you want to set.

Putting phone hours and stating the rules nicely are fine with me though.  I hardly read what's on the website anymore though because after being in the hobby for a bit i can kinda guess what ladies like and don't like in terms of etiquette.

Tip over and capsize....  

Thanks for clarifying for me. I do not advocate large set or rules just something like " no calls after 10 pm, screening required. " that eliminates late, not screened, spur of the moment. And a hobby phone keeps the home quiet at night. People like you understand, and people like me need to be gently trained. Thank you and the ladies who have patience with both sides of the newbie equation. be safe and have fun

Hahaha I'm still going to get that Downy though.

...go ahead and do it. Then put ads on the ad board and put your link in it.

I've looked around in the Self Help section and Site Map trying to find the TER Seal html to put in my blogspot. Having a hard time finding it though. I remember seeing it once, but I can't remember where I was on the site when I saw it.

...to the Provider Ad Posting Guidelines. It's in the Self-Help Center.

Thanks. I decided on the hot blond with curly hair.

What stuff you put on your website.  

You asked what is low volume?

Some good Qs you have.  

after hours.  That's just nuts.  All you'll get is drunk pervs getting their jollies by calling random providers to talk & BS with no intention of seeing.  
Yes, please clean up between clients.  If your concerned about a wrinkled quilt...  leave an open book on it...  we'll think you were laying there "just waiting for us" reading.  LOL!!

I agree about the issue of too many nos.  When I see them I usually move on, as it is a turnoff precisely as you say.
Also, being considerate enough to think about something like ironing a sheet or blanket, many would not think that way.
Some like to say they are classy, you meanwhile demonstrate it with your attitude of respect for your clients.

I think she said her phone is her REAL phone but she uses Google Voice number for 'business'.  I think she needs her REAL phone for 24/7 real life.

don't list a phone number period. Done deal. I learned that in 3 months of asinine calls, to simply remove a number and use email only. Listing a phone number leads to drunken calls, last minute calls, and nonsense calls. Though you will still get a few idiots via email, they are more inclined to simply go away vs. having a phone a guy can stalk you on.

You have to manually go in to your settings and activate it each time.  Just don't forget to de-activate it when you want your phone to ring.  

do providers put their phone number out for all to see?  Email gives you the option of replying when you want to, day or night.  Phone calls at all hours, like 2am when the bars close, are not from guys you want to meet (at least not at that time of night when they are all drunked up).

That's a really nice thing to say. Thank you.
