Particularly traveling providers. When visiting a city, if you get a booking from a new client (who passes all pre-screening) and you schedule a time.  Suppose afterwards a regular client contacts you for the same appointment time.  Do you cancel the new client in favor of the regular, or not?  What are your thoughts?

I also don't double book. I have had gentlemen tell me about that...

even if they are regulars...mine know that i will not do that

I for one would totally take a regular over someone idk... But if the new client made a deposit, that shows me that he's serious so I would tell my regular if he could come a bit later... My clients are the best, they cater to me!!!!!

I don't make an appointment with the cancelled ones ever again!

forget their appointments and cater exclusively to me.   Screeners beg to take my information.  The girls, of course, have cat fights for the privilege of servicing me.   Of course, I choose only the most scarred ones who have proven their devotion.

Guys always have potential to become a returning client. The first appointment is the toughest one to get. Of course, I appreciate the reliable guys a lot, and no way I'd move that for a new client either. But I don't want to miss out on another potentially reliable guy. If they see I'm dependable right off the bat, it's is a great way to attract other dependable people. (Be who you want to attract)

Once I commit. No double booking or canceling for the regular.  

Ha Ha I love your little story! Good thing every thing on this site is fantasy or I would think you were a lunatic.

I will be 100% honest with you, I schedule a meeting usually a few days in advance.  My free time is limited.  So if I get that request that starts off "Hey I was wondering....", that is not going to sit well with me.  I may entertain rescheduling depending on my availability, once, maybe twice.

Asked me to change a day....or time.  But I am really flexible on scheduling as well.  Many guys seem to have to fit this into some time slot...so for them getting asked to change may be a real problem.

I have my favorite who I will see on a very regular basis.  On occasion if I come across a lady who catches my attention I'll reach out to them.  But that's rare.  I know what I enjoy and I'm not so willing to take risks of trading what I know versus a maybe.  

Booked for that time, I don't ditch the newbie. (Quite honestly, I don't book a ton of dates in a week, so I rarely come across that anyway lol.)

You really think Aunt Flo visits 3 times a month? Lol

Good to know.

I would not see her ever again. What can I say business ethics is important to me and keeping ones commitments is a major part of that. But to each there own.

I don't judge the hookers. How they handle there biz is none of my biz.

If the booking already set up, theres no way providers should cancel it, I tell the 2nd customer, please choose a different time.

First of all I have better sense & mannerism then to double book..... Double booking is called desperation..... But I would take a regular anyday over a new client... I've been in the biz long enough to know how flaky clients can be especially if you don't know them!!!!!

And as a consumer of their services it is my business how they run it. And they are running a business. And as a business owner myself I fully expect to be judged on how I conduct my business by my customers. These women are woman of business and should be held to the same standards of other business women in other fields taking in the consideration of personal and legal ramifications of the work. Anything less is demeaning to them.  

How they treat others is for those others to worry about.

That's a different scenario and if she's unavailable, then she's unavailable and she'll let me know what her schedule can accommodate.  We'll go from there.  I'm more likely to wait than seek out someone else.  

If someone books me for a particular day/time and my regular comes along afterwards and tries to book me for the same time, I say, "I've already booked another client for that time. We can always meet on another day". I've had regulars ask me to cancel my appointments with other people to see them instead. Needless to say, they're no longer my clients.

Thanks for the clarification. Your original post was about if they came at the same time and not the situation presented then. That is good.

That 's just rude. I would never do that. Don't treat others how you don't want to be treated. Go on with the appointment with the new guy, you never know he might be your new gem and become a regular as well. Your regular will understand and schedule another time. Making new friends is great!

If she's working with a waiting list, then it's in her best interest to bump you for the better offer, or the client she knows she'll have a good time with. You just got to roll with it.

Play along with her, and you'll see why she prefers you.
