I am a provider in Seattle, one with several great reviews from a reputable board here in the great NW, but it seems that when I post here I dont get any response! I am not bad looking, I am in good shape, I see that plenty of people have looked at my ad but no responses. I am not brand new so I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem or has any insight into what I can do.  I dont know if it's the lack of reviews on this site or what!

Seriously confussed!!

Most of the local gents who use this site are also on the other boards, so while they don't say they see you here... they likely do.

A few good reviews on this site would certainly encourage TER users who are not in our local playground to give you a ring (travelers, those just moving to the area, etc).  

Make sure you have your site link, that you get your site reviewed, encourage a friend or two to post a review here... even though low-key for the NW, it's still a great site!

1. Post your ad on the Seattle Board once a week. Preferably with a request for action i.e special rate for TER members only, offer in / out call with your post or post a different picture unique for TER only. That way you have a chance to measure your success.

2. Set up a profile on TER with your services provided and make yourself eligible for reviews on this board.

3. Encourage clients to post reviews for you on this board.

4. Once you start receiving reviews, have TER link your reviews to your TER handle Madison Taylor.

5. Put a TER link of your reviews on your website, so clients can access your TER reviews from your website.

6. Since you are a VIP member it does not hurt to check your mail on a regular basis.

7. Participate on the Seattle discussion board regularly so prospective clients can get a feel for any unique qualities you have that they like.

8. Do not expect prospective clients to actually post a reply on your ad but watch for the number of reads it generates based on the traffic of your board.

9. Clients who see your ad on the board may actually be contacting you directly by email or phone. I usually prefer to contact the provider directly without necessarily mentioning their TER ad unless asked. So in all reality, your ad on the board may be doing just fine.

10. Evaluate your current screening process. Are they in line with the industry and your market? If they are too tough, you may be chasing prospective clients away but at the same time reassuring your own safety.

11. Evaluate your rates but at first glance they seem resonable!

If your experienced, doing fine, and have a good client base I am not sure why you are so concerned about your TER responses. My only explanation is you want to get busier, expand your client base or evaluating your current marketing strategy.

If these suggestions work and I ever get to Seattle, you owe me one!

Thank You,

Marketing Specialist

Thanks alot I will use your ideas and see how it goes, and like you said if your suggestions work well and you ever find yourself in Seattle, I'll owe you one!

and like the gentleman said, post ads every week on your local board (perhaps offer a discount the first few weeks).

By the way, there's nothing wrong with you. You're hot, honey! Wink!

Hugs,
Ciara

Thanks sweetie!!  I guess I had gotten frustrated before because I was posting all the time, you know every week without any luck and then kinda fell off posting regularly.  Will do thanks for the feed back!!

Sweetie, where ya been all my life!?   hee hee...  Please do not be seriously confused!  this ain't rocket science....   Different regions respond to TER 'stuff' differently.  You are definately cute enough, with a good bod... and from the reviews that I read, you are pretty good!  so what is amiss?  well?!  as I say, TER has a following... and sometimes it just takes one of the TER regulars to get you noticed... or something that just sparks interest....

Believe it or not, I have met providers JUST because they flirted with me on this board, and after meeting them once.... well I have flown back to their city to see them again!  why?  don't really know, but I do know that I enjoy their company... I have also been chatty with some on the Online Chat room, and met someone that way!  Still see her, and like her company as well...  Finally I met one lady at a TER meet & greet here in my green home city!  And saw her again... all of these ladies are just that, ladies... and you sound like one two, just keep at it.... I would see ya!  if you were just a tad closer!  you're cute.

Oh that's so sweet of you to say that, too bad I am not closer wherever you are.  I used to go in the chat room, but I gotta contact the people here because I cannot get in.  Anyways thank you for all the compliments and hopefully I will get a TER regular to meet with and finally get a review on here.  I just gotta be more consistant w/ it I think.  I like your stile though, a jokster!  Gotta love that the funnest people to be around!!  Thanks again!!

Maddi, you are an attractive young lady.  The advice others have given you about utilizing your local board is right on the money.  I live in the southeast so seeing you in Seattle is probably not going to happen.  Good luck.

Well if I find myself in the southeast some where I will make sure and post, maybe you'll find me and we can hook-up  I actually think that I am going to Pennsylvania the weekend after next, it would be alot closer right?  But yes thank you for the encouraging words.  I have been taking the advise, although I am not a VIP member I should think about becoming one. Hmm!

it's the registered user name...and not an alias.  It isn't an indication of VIP status.

Edited for typo.

Yes, you should consider VIP so that you can exchange PM's.  True, Pennsylvania is closer but it is still 1000 mi.
