OK. I called about 20 providers, all independents in the Orange County area and all of them had a voice mail. OK I leave a message and NONE of them called back!
I had only luck with agencies since they are more organized and always have a person on the phone waiting for a call or email. I only dealt with the elite-canadian network though but they seem to have many gals so I have a much easier time getting SOMEONE.
I also did a search and put agency as a criteria but still I want to actually go into an agency's website and check out all their gals and pick from their site but not sure if it's all a hoax or not. Finding via this website for agencies, I'm only allowed to see that one girl and no one else which takes alot of time.
Let me know if this is typical where it's almost impossible to get a hold of an independent provider.
See, I want to be able to have an overall review of an agency website like this: http://www.eros-guide.com/ (not sure if i'm allowed to post links)
and i want to be able to know if it's generally a rip off site or not.
um, i've been calling the same providers now for the past 3 days still no call back. is this typical? before me using this website, i've always had a local place to go to and they are always available. planning when ur jimmy is desperate kills the spontaneity of it..
Are you reading their ads alone and not their sites if they have one? Are you following their initial contact instructions? Although they may have telephone numbers listed they may prefer intial contact via email and they may request that this contact contain specific information about yourself or the completion of a request form?
What are you saying on your messages? Any chance that the contents of your message is leaving them to think 'Yeah, I can't wait to call this guy back'?
Do they have a calendar on their site? Maybe they are not avaliable and/or traveling and this is indicated on the site.
Maybe they are very busy and as already mentioned some indies require booking in advance. Yes, some ladies are hard to pin down but no I would not agree that as a rule it is near impossible to get hold of an independent provider.
As far as agencies, in my opinion you are looking at it the wrong way. At the end of the day it is the lady that matters more than the agency that represents her. Her reviews, not an agency review, will tell you if she is reliable/dependable and if she provides the services that you seek. If her agency is a pain in the ass to deal with, and some are, then trust me her reviews will have notations to that effect. Research a lady's reviews first to see if she is what you hope she will be and the rest will take care of itself.
If I'm at home, and I don't happen to have a friend or family member around, and I'm not in the middle of seeing someone, and I'm not already on the phone - then I'll answer your call. If any of the above is going on though (better than 70% that ONE of the above applies) your call will go to voice mail. If you call me, and your number comes up blocked or restricted, I absolutely will NOT answer the phone even if I am able to. Trust begins with the first contact, and if you don't trust me with a phone number, we will never even talk.
But, what happens when I can't answer the phone? If you do not leave a voicemail, I will NOT call you back. Not even if you call me 20 times. I do this for your benefit, not for mine. Wihtout a voicemail message telling me that I can call you, I simply have no idea who might be answering the phone. If you DO leave a voicemail, I will return your call as quickly as I can if and only if I get the message within an hour or so of when you left it. Again, this is NOT because I do not want to talk to you. It is again for your benefit that I excercise caution anytime I return a phone call. If you called me at noon, and I get the message at 3 pm, then for all I know, you may be in a meeting with your boss, meeting with a client, or sitting in the car next to your wife. I would rather have you think me rude than call you at an awkward time that may result in you having to answer questions you would rather not be asked, like "Honey, who is that woman on the phone??"
Don't give up on us independent ladies. We aren't rude, and we certainly don't mean to blow you off. Although some independent ladies do use some form of answering service, most of us answer the phone ourselves. In addition to being providers though, we tend to lead lives outside our work that keeps us busy and doesn't always allow us to be siting right by the phone.
But there is a solution! E-mail works beautifully as a first contact! I check my e-mail 3 or 4 times a day, so I nearly always am able to respond to an e-mail the same day it is sent.
I called them only once a day and the first 3 days, not 3 times a day. Still waiting for 6 days now. I left them a brief message. Their site doesn't tell me any specific instructions so common sense tells me not to leave too much detail for both of our privacy. My number is never blocked. I call them saying my name my number, please give me a call back and that's it. I dont think I need to say anything else right?
Anyways, I think I might have filtered the providers in a way that only shows the top ones with a relatively low cost. That might be the reason why they don't want to take anymore clients since they are too busy. Other low-end providers pick up but I really don't prefer going with them unless I really need to.
