Thanks for the responses; they are helpful. I have always been totally professional (never graphic) in my inquiries. The providers that I have been trying to connect with recently list only a phone number.
I am wondering if I should keep leaving messages. I don't want them to think I am stalker! On the other hand, I want them to know that I am serious about an appointment.
I realize that they get a lot of requests (mailbox is full) I just want an idea of when I should bag it and make other arrangements. I don't want to blow my limited opportunities to hook up.
I have tried to make appointments with a number of providers and have gotten NO response what so ever. Is this normal? I mean this is before they even know that I am a newbie. I look at reviews and find providers with a good track record, but can't seem to make a connection. What gives? As a small business owner myself, I pride myself on getting back to my customers is a timely manner, even if it is to say that I can't help them. None responses is one of my pet peeves!.
I only participate in this hobbie when my SO goes out of town on business, so I usually have a small window of opportunity. Therefore, I start searching well in advance (a month the last time), but it still seems like I have to scamble at the last minute to get a firm appointment.
I can understand that the well reviewed providers are in demand, but how should I take the non-response. I select a provider because of a specific interest in them and don't want to settle for something that really doesn't meet my needs. After all, the reason I participate in this hobby is to fulfill my fantasies.
How long does it usually take to connect with a top-reviewed provider?
It can take a while sometimes - especially with the best-reviewed providers. If they are independents and limit their appointments to one or two per day - even moreso.
Try and remember that it's not just a customer service thing. It's being loyal to their existing customer base and trying to determine which of the new potential clients are actually viable requests and which are just trying to get the chance to talk with a beautiful woman - i.e. not really serious about scheduling an appointment.
There are always well-reviewed providers that are available and that will respond to your communications relatively promptly. The question to ask yourself is if the ones you really want to see are worth the wait and the effort.
I can understand how it might seem rude - but really don't look at it that way. It's very likely nothing personal and really just a case of a provider having a limited window of time herself when she can see people, perhaps an 'outside life' of her own to tend to and a set of established clients to whom she feels loyal. You are, then, one of probably many who are looking to fill the remaining time.
Good luck -PV
Are you being too graphic or invasive in your queries to the providers? Do you sound overly needy or obsessive? If you have made it to their screening process are you being cooperative and forthright with them?
Critique your approach and note if any of the above mentioned "red flags" are present.

Back when I first joined the team, I made a few mistakes with questions asked, and they are still unanswered over a year later. I've also found that some providers are just bad with email. If you're looking at the cream of the crop in your town, she probably gets massive quantities of mail each day. If they've got a contact form on their site, that usually gets answered ahead of mail sent directly to her address. I've also seen that trying to be flexible usually backfires, because they can't put it down in their appointment book. Pick a date/time, and let her ask to reschedule for another time. Then there's the too soon/not soon enough issue. Some ladies don't book more than a couple days in advance, while others are booked long before that.
Confused yet? I usually start by sending an email, suggesting that we get together for x hours at xx:00 on xx/xx, at her place. I provide her my preferred contact method and offer at least one reference. Then I make it clear that I welcome any additional questions.
being specific. If you can be flexible, still mention a specific time and just let her know that there's some leeway there. Quite often I get "well, when are you available?" emails. I'm here for YOU, and thus will try to work my schedule so that I am available at a time that is most convenient for you. It's a lot easier for both parties to have some sort of starting point from which to make arrangements to meet.
Also, if the lady has a website, be sure to look it over. I try to answer all of the most common questions on my site, so that I may avoid getting asked these questions in email.
Be a nice boy - fill out their form
Be a nice boy- and no explicits in email
Be a nice boy and tell them they can link to your review..
Just be a nice boy..
Also.. try again... if hotmail addy. coulda went to their junk mail folder.. yahoo.. bulk folder.. aol email.. coulda went to the spam folder.. try one more time

I too have had no sucess in contact via email. I contacted 2 providers. The messages were very short - not knowing what to say or what might trip thier 'defenses' Just mentioned that I read thier reviews on the ER website, checked out thier website, compliment them on thier looks, and say I'd like to set up a session for the x days I'll be in town. And offer reference upon request.
When you leave a voicemail message for a lady, be sure to tell her when it is OK to call. Ladies don't like to "cold call" guys in returning phone calls. It is all part of discretion.
