How many email, text, call etc., in a day?

Curious as to how much demand a gal gets (emails, texts, calls, website request etc) in a day and then what's the hit ratio for all the correspondences?  

Several years ago I asked an ATF this same question.  She was on TER and this was back before the Craigslist killer killed off Craigslist.  She would post on Craigslist as soon as she got to the hotel.  Her phone would "ring off the hook" for the next two hours, then slow down.  She said about 5% were worthy of screening.

Not to mention very few of the ladies here are going to admit it if they aren't getting a lot of interest. Nobody wants someone that nobody else wants and it's in their interest to at least act as if they are in demand, even if they aren't. Now of course a lot of women really are in demand, but asking here is a rather unreliable way of getting the information you seek.

 
BTW expect to get a lot of "Why the fuck do you even care? Are you writing a fucking book for fuck's sake???!!!" responses to your post.

The men who email me are typically of higher quality and I either end up seeing or at least pre-screening/passing to a friend. Calls I just ignore because my ads say clearly that I do not answer calls. Texts are usually wastes of time but I've gotten a few from that medium.

It really depends on the day. This past few days I've received over a 15+ texts/calls a day compared to the usual handful. Emails, some days a get five some days I get zero- emails are usually from those who give a few days notice.

Out of emails, I would say I see half of who contacts me.
Calls, close to 0%
Texts,  less than 5%

If you're wondering why I accept phone contact at all- short notice appointments seem to come via text and I like to know who to block (ie those who contact me at weird hours/ text weird shit).

It’s location specific. Some areas have more active hobbyists than others, an it’s not always population related. For instance Fargo/Bismarck, ND has a pretty healthy hobby group with little population density.

When I use to do more advertising on classified site or high traffic sites, I’d get a ton of contacts, but at best a 1/3 were even screenable.  I’ve since reduced tue number of classified I post and put more stock in to high quality contacts of volume. So I’ve ended up, now, getting maybe 1/10 of the contact volume I use to get, however of those contacts, about 75-80% proceed to bookings.  

What that breaks down into in terms of numbers is changes by location, but just as an example, I’ll use ATL...

Previously, I’d post an ad with a bump/refresh to the top of listing on a mall site/classified site 1-3 times per day. I’d get between 150-200 contact in a 24 hour period. Of those 150-200, about 25-30 would even be willing to screen. Of those 25-30 willing to screen, 20 made no complaints about rates and kept conversation appropriate. Of those 20 that would screen, maybe 12 were bookable, the other either had scheduling conflicts or just weren’t going to be available when I was around. Of the 12 or so bookable ones, about 8 would follow through to appt.

Since changing my advertising, I now get about 15-20 contacts a day, about 12 of which are bookable, and of those 12, aboit 8-10 follow through to appts. So it’s about the same in my case for ATL. I’m just spending substantially less time doug the administrative aspect of this industry.

I think your question may be better framed as “how many boomings are you getting?”, instead of how many contacts.

As a side note, I’ve notice that there’s a correlation between my higher quality contacts and appointment duration, as opposed to higher contact volume. The higher quality of the contact (I consider a high quality contact as someone that screen immediately, without asking for it, with a respectful conversation, and immediate determination of what they like in terms of appt time and length), the longer the appointment. For instance let’s say someone contacts me via email and not through my screening form and gives me all relevant screening info; if they’re a board or service member, I’ll already have a confirmation message that they own the account waiting without having to request it. If they lack a number of reviews/okays/etc to use in further screening, I’ll have those provided in an email. 9/10 times that person is booking for 2 hours+. The more info I have to pry out of them, it sends tue less time tue book for.
