Hi

You expected a call, and when said call did not come, you assumed he was flaking?  

great idea.. He was at a business dinner here in nyc. I understand what you are saying. But, the requirement is not to CALL at 8, just by 8 or before.. 8 pm being the latest..

why does it have to be two hours before?

checking my email when the client was told specifically to CALL. If he can't call, he should have made that clear the day BEFORE when you suggested he do so. Had he simply said, "I may not be in a position to call, but I will text or email so be sure to check," all good, but I too won't see someone without hearing their voice first. You can tell more over the phone than via email. You did not do anything wrong. He was told to call, he could not, you assumed he was NOT confirming and did not want to hunt him down. I don't chase after clients when they don't confirm...I simply do something else.

I work from home, so I have to talk to them also... Luckily being in business as long as I have has given me a very strong instincts, and I have yet to be wrong yet (knock on wood)

Hiya xxx;
 
Thank you for all your information. I do appreciate that.
 
I would love to meet up with you this evening.
 
Thank you for all the compliments regarding my reviews. I love what I do and it shows
 
I was wondering if you wanted me to bring anything particular this evening?
 
I would need you to call and confirm by or before  8 pm if that is at all possible, if not, please let me know asap.
 
If you get in earlier, I can do that also at this time.
 
Keep in touch and thanks again..
 
Very much looking forward to meeting you. You sound yummy!  
 
 Till then........

was for him to call you if that is all possible... leaving him the ability to NOT call you, and say he was not in a private spot or whatever....  

Wow..you say ALL that lol. Nice.

I'm not sure enough to require compensation but it's your business.  I think there should be no 'outs'.  The email should be within a certain window.  If you want a voice call, you should say so.

both parties need to be clear on how they can send/receive communications.
Many of us have hobby phones that are not turned on except when we are scheduling or outside the incall location, so a call or text at any other time will not go thru.  if you've been using email, I think you should continue to use email; although, if you are in the window where a client is driving or flying, you have to expect that he can't get emails.  I find it very frustrating when on occasion I have a confirmed apppointment and the provider emails me about 30 minutes beforehand wanting to reschedule or otherwise with a request - especially if they want a text/email reply - which is not possible while driving to the appointment.  

A lot of girls say "call me when you get here and I'll give you the room" and most often that simply means "get in touch". I usually just text and I get the room # back in a text. If you require actually hearing someone's voice youreally should have told him that. Also since you had communicated with him via email before, would have been smart to check your email somehow after not hearing from him at 8pm.

Good point. I can't imagine being in this business without email, but I actually tossed my phone and use google voice now, that I don't work much. Seeing 1-2 guys a week, does not require me to have my head in a phone all day.

I think a confirmation call, especially if requested, would simply be a matter of common courtesy.  I can see how some might fear to upset the applecart with bothersome messages prior to an appointment with a provider, but this is surely not such a case of that.

I asked her to CALL me NOT email or text. (it was an old phone not a smart phone and I didnt have texting)

too late for a 10pm appointment???

Honestly, I believe she was more than clear.. in the world I live in, "Call and confirm" means pick up the phone, & call someone. I am the same way, & every appointment I schedule, I give the gent a confirmation time & tell them to CALL at that specified time.. if I do not get a call, I assume they have cancelled. If for whatever reason, the gent can't call at that time, then they have the option of sending a text or an e-mail.. but when a lady says "call to confirm" that means only one thing.

as mentioned above- didnt have hobby phone with him, (or it was dead) gut access his hobby email account

just E-mail him your location the night before and he will be there and call you from the lobby or wherever..some providers have all these hops you have to jump through when it is so simple to set it up..

He can't cut out on some clients to make a call or even text, but he can send an email?

I'm not sure what was up with him, but you have no reason to feel bad.

You set the rules, and it's our job to obey.

Because we can find out if you are crazy or not prior. That's why. Not saying you, but fuck we have to talk to you. It is fucking stupid to email him your location not knowing if he is serious or a weirdo.  

That is not what she said. She said call by so and so time if you wanted the appt. Some girls say a day or more, others a few hours. She told him and if he didn't listen that is his problem.

i do agree..if the guy has a track record..there should be no need to call..i can see your point about new clients..you never really know..too bad the girls have to see first-timers..but it is all part of the game..i personally have never had to call..but i have been around awhile..the word does get out..newbies are a different breed..

First, I am outcall only.
