As a businessman who's conscious of customer relations and cashflow, I have a hard time understanding how poorly many providers handle correspondence w/ clients and potential clients. When I contact a provider for the first time, about 60% will not reply even though I'm very polite, offer references, mention I'm flexible on day & time, etc. Even if they're busy that day, you'd think they'd call back to schedule for another day; otherwise, they've just turned away an interested buyer.

A related issue is follow-up afterwards. When I've paid well beyond the requested donation, or spent an hour crafting a great review for a provider, I really appreciate it when they send me a brief email to acknowledge it. Offering a white list referral would be much appreciated.

Since providers are lowering prices, and top notch gals are advertising more on BackPage & CV, I know they're hurting for biz. But 30 hours ago I sent an email to one such gal, and no word back. It doesn't take long to hit "reply" and type a brief msg like "thank you for your interest; I'm really busy today, but I'll f/u w/ you tomorrow".

For what it's worth, I'll mention that Amber Lane (phoenix) is the one gal who's always been fast to reply, and very quick to acknowledge the review I wrote.
