I have just finished graduate school and will be moving into a more 9-5 job later on in the year, and doubt I will have time to devote to the emailing and screening that I had while in school.  

And most of my clients don't mind. I let my clients know that if ever they need to contact me directly, I have acces to the phone application I use to book my appointments. Otherwise, most of my booking is done through my amazing assistant via text/email. I think it's really important for your assistant to inform your clients that it isn't you but rather your aid.  

As long as the assistant is professional, and in my experience they all are, she is a benefit to the hobbyist as well.

Congrats on the new degree and new job!

I know that most assistants are likely legit, but I have had an experience where the so-called assistant was a front for an agency.   I want no part of an agency, because I want to be 100% sure that the provider is making the decision on whether or not to take the appointment.  The idea that someone may be telling her to see me is a non starter.  So I stick to providers that I can communicate directly with.

I've only met a few gals who used assistants, but all of them were good experiences, so I say:  Why not

But every once in awhile I'll go with C. And with you, C would definitely be on the table

I have had a few really great experiences with competent and experienced assistants. But I have also been given bad intel and had sessions screwed up by incompetent ones. It's a toss up and obviously your success with them will depend on many factors.  

Just make sure it isn't a guy that handles that, at least ostensibly.

This is a link to your p411 ad, what is the twitter link?

One provider I've seen is very disorganized. Having an assistant keeps her more or less on schedule (she's never been less than 45 minutes late, so I don't think anything can keep her right on schedule).

You can be 100% sure that the provider is making the decision to tell her assistant who to book and who not.

it throws me off when I hear a deep baritone answer the phone...just a tad unsettling.  Makes me wonder who's gonna be in the next room..So, use a female, if you don't say "make an appt with my assistant" in your ads, have the assistant pretend she is you...

I had a very bad experience with a booking agent early in my career in this world.. I found the girl on Twitter told her the reason she wasn't go to see me and got a call from her five minutes later. She made it right. Haven't dealt with a booking agent since. Keep in mind with whoever you hire they need to represent you in a positive light. It helps if they know anything about you.  
 

but one of my great pleasures in this endeavor is email flirting with my new paramours that i am pursuing a date with.

I think most of us prefer direct contact with the lady we want to see. But believe me , I get it. A popular Provider is flooded with emails. Most time wasting nonsense . So I certainly understand  the need for a personal assistant.

If the escort is someone I really want to see, why not.

I would vote for C, but be very careful.  I saw a lady a number of times that had an assistant that got sloppy and let somebody through she shouldn't have and the provider had a very rough session.  Took her a week to recover.

Problems and confusion cropped up when a provider started changing the time and prices without the assistant's knowledge. Then, I didn't know who was the provider and who was the assistant.
It was a clusterfuck.

I prefer direct communication with a provider instead of an assistant because it can give you a preview of her personality and it can help to build rapport and figure out if and how compatible we will be. Some of my best sessions got off on the right foot because of enjoyable booking communications with the provider, and on other occasions I dropped communication with providers because I could sense from those initial communications that we would not get along.

Not in the case I was posting about.  The "assistant" was no such thing.  It was an agency posing as an independent provider's assistant.   If you read my post again, you will see that my objection is with agencies.   In that case, you CANNOT be assured that the provider is fully responsible for the decision to accept an appointment.  As said previously, that is a non starter for me.
