I Figured that ladies would rather deal with new people via email at first but i've noticed a lot of them don't ever return emails. For the ladies whose ads don't have rates or basic information i always email first so i don't call and potentially interrupt their day.
If they have a web site, check it first. After that I prefer an e-mail introducing myself. Can be answered at their convenience, don't expect IM. Lady is probaby busy, so am I. That's the point of e-mail. I've had good luck but I do read up on the web-site before e-mailing. skb
e mail is always better ... and i personally believe in prompt and curteous reply. Unless of course someone e mails me at 2am asking if i am taking last moment dates without screening
It's easy to communicate thru email. Everytime I talk to a potential client on the phone, all he does is yapping like I have nothing better to do. Also not to comfortable answering their questions such as how much you charge, what services do you provide, etc...
I have found most prefer email for the first contact, however I have found a few that prefer the phone. Read the web site in detail, every page. When you write the email put in all the information she requests. I also include handles even if she doesn't ask for them.
That said, what really fry's my butt, is no replies. Ladies, a professional answers the mail. Even a "I have no availability that day" would be nice. Many of us have limited windows of opportunity, and if you can't see us, give us a chance to make other arrangements. It is just common professional manners.
Ok so i see my thoughts were right, but i guess the issue i'm having is looking at the wrong web site when i'm 'doing my homework'. I usually stick to eros and if there is a link to another web site i'll look there too but a lot of times there is not and as i said...not much info on the ad i see. That's why i like to try the email first to get some more info...I keep the questions general like "do you come out to the X area" when they say they do outcall. Still A lot of ladies don't respond at at.
Do you think that i should provide my basic screening info in that initial email? I thought that would be slighly dangerous.
I don't post my number and it irritates me when men call me. I have specifically asked men not to call me. I don't even list my phone number on my website or reviews, and if they look at my website, it states that I prefer contact by email. I give clients with an appointment my phone number only so they can call me if they're running late or if they need to cancel. I tell them this, yet some still call me for an appointment, and it's not even for a same-day appointment. I look at my emails at least 20 times a day if I'm home, so I'll get their messages. Be patient.
I don't actually have a hobby phone and my personal life is just that -- personal. I don't want clients calling me because I cannot talk too often and am usually working or with friends that do not know anything about this business.
To answer your questions about ladies not getting back to you: Perhaps they are just rude, perhaps you are making them feel uncomfortable, or perhaps they don't get your messages right away. I think you should just ask what dates they are available first and "tell them you will give them your references once they email you back with an answer." That way, you're not giving your information upfront without a return email. I hope this helps you.
thanks Caira, that helps. I doubt i make them uncomfortable, i keep things brief and general to any answer cannot be misused shall we say.
My main concern with ladies not answering was a wonder "who exactly did i just contact", although there may be a lot of reviews here on TER there are a lot more ladies that aren't reviewed or at least i can't find them.
I always use the ladies contact form on her website, if she has one. And I fill it out COMPLETELY. She wants refs with phone#s, email addy and web site I do that too. I also give her my TER handle, she can check the TER white list. You should do a search here, for previous posts on this subject. It has been discussed before. Finally, I give the lady a date and time I want to meet. Since I know my references will check out, and I am white listed, giving her the day and time I want to meet usually gets a response. I never take a no response to an email personally, it's part of the hobby.
