Bonus points:

From yesterday -
"I 'd like to meet you sometimes, let me know if you want too also."  (The entire email)
and,
"I'm new and I have no references but I am an important public figure and must be discreet.  Please reconsider your screening requirements just for me."
and,
"I'm only in town this evening and am from out of state/country.  I have no references (and would like to meet in two hours)..."

That's just some from yesterday.  Most are along those lines.

About 50 percent, maybe less.

The majority of emails -- and the most frustrating -- come from gentlemen who don't give all the information I need in the first email. If you're a newbie, that's understandable. However, the gentlemen who have been in the hobby long enough to know better should email with all the necessary information right up front. It saves us (providers) and them a lot of time, especially when they want an appointment the same day -- very frustrating.

What's even more frustrating is -- after three or four emails from a guy -- he says, "Boy this is getting difficult." No, duh!  If he would have given me references with emails addresses and/or phone numbers up front, how many hours he wanted to see me and when, it wouldn't have been difficult at all. Gees! I even have a Client Information on my website guys can fill out (completely) and mail to me.

Hugs,

Great idea-  I'd love to see how my initial e-mail stacks up...

I usally give just my given real name and ask for rates, a nearby landmark for plannning purposes(I SAY that I will get the actual addy later- when I schedule), and what the lady will need from me to feel comfortable with a session.  The last is not money, but ID and references stuff.

Am I not giving enough?  I expect this note to start a dialogue, not result in an immediate date...

Re:Providers: How many do you reject?

Not to really laugh but haven't had the chance yet.... LOL.. Some will see

I reject about 80% possibly.

One thing I hate is Type A personalities on the phone. That is a total turn off.

Another thing I don't like is guys who call and say "what's your fee?" No hello or anything.

Bad vibes I get those & alot of times & then find out another lady has met with the guy who I put off & he messed her about in some way. This is why communication is important.

Here is a big turn off, guys who call or email & talk badly about other girls. that just bothers me.

I have met some great guys though!

I give them my full name, phone number, 3 different active email addresses, two references with names and phones, social security number, business tax ID number, names of my pets (both living and dead), names of all living blood relatives, the mileage of my last oil change (for both cars and the motorcycle), current cholesterol levels, my birth stone (with sample), 4 letters of recomendation from college and high school guidance councilors, 3 years' income tax returns, certified, notarized, sealed with an offial-looking stamp, delivered certified, registered, overnight mail...

...and to date I've not been able to get past one single screening process.  If they require extensive screening, I know it's just going to be a waste of time and skip over them, because no matter how much I do it just never seems to be enough for them.  I gave up.

...... and mostly my sense of adventure. In my own home town I see a new client about every other week.

Some of the factors in my deciding to see a new client is how reliable their information is, how respectful they are -And... most importantly, if they have seen a fellow provider.

I guess there is some credibility to the age old statement: Not what you know but who you have slept with (* that is the age old statement, right??*)  LOL   kisses ~Tori
