I am new at this and have looked at a lot of reviews and called
3 people and have not gotten a call back ( it's been a week now)
Should I tell them I have read their reviews on TER (All I have said on their answering machine is that I saw their ad and was
interested in seeing them)
I am in the los angeles area ,What am I doing wrong ?

I know a lot of girls who will not call back an unknown person if it has been several hours since the message was left (they figure these calls go stale pretty quickly) and some do not call back period.

Not saying I agree, just this is the way some are.

If you dont get a call back fairly quickly (that day or next day at most), I would assume you are not going to get one from that message. Just keep trying. I would note in your message that you are looking to make an appointment for some time in the next week or so, so that if they don't get the message until the next day they will assume you are interested in setting up something with them in particular, as opposed to looking for something that day in particular.

Plenty of ladies answer their phone as well. Try them.

Also, if you don't get your calls returned after leaving several messages, take it as a sign and move on to other ladies who give better service.

Could you clarify a bit? Do you just call and say you are interested in seeing them and leave your number? Try being more definite. This is a business after all. Leave a day and time when you want to get together.

You should post this on the Los Angeles Discussion Board.

This is a general question. It would be appropriate in either the LA section or here.

I dont think that Voice Mail procedure is radically different around the US. He might get references to particular providers in the LA Section though.

Are these very popular providers who have gotten high ratings?  Have reviewers commented about the difficulty in setting up appts?  Usually, if they don't call back within an hour, they aren't going to call back.  If you really want to see those who don't call back, then you'll probably have to be very persistent and make multiple phone calls over a period of days/weeks.  My own personal view is that it's not worth the trouble and I would rather deal with someone who is prompt about returning calls and available when I want to see someone (not when she decides to return the phone call).

Although surprising, many gentlemen freely leave call-back numbers to which a call made after an hour’s time would be quite deleterious to his personal situation--or at least very uncomfortable. Being that the average expectation is that a call will be returned in an hour or never at all--some men do not think to leave additional information such as, “This is a home number--I’ll be here for an hour--but the wife gets back at 5” For some, it’s as if the hour mark is a `safe zone’--so if the call is placed a 1, and the wife gets home at 4--there’s no need to reference such in the message--as there is no way a provider ever calls after an hour!

Due to this possibility, (although I now exclusively use e-mail) I was uncomfortable calling after an hour, just in case...and had to hope that most people would call back.

I would add this precaution--- Guys, if there is someone (wife, S0) in your home you wouldn't want to learn of your contact with a provider, dont ever use your home phone as a contact. Although my experience may be unusual, several months ago, a provider called repeatedly, (at least 7 or 8 times) even after I told her emphatically I was no longer intsted. My SO, needless to say, became a little suspicious. I finally had to leave the house, use my cell phone secretly to beg (?) (order?) her not to call again--TWICE I HAD TO DO THAT before the calls ceased !!!

Never ever ever ever ever be explicit about services for money. "I'd like to have some company" and "We can work out something together" are fine. But "I want nookie-nookie and a cowabunga sandwich, with the ball-gag, for less than $300" is extremely deleterious to your health.

The provider must be free to get paid strictly for her time, and you've got to realize that she's going to be nervous about anyone who ever contacts her, being potentially a law enforcement agent. So when they say, "be discreet," unfortunately (for us clients) it means, "don't be specific." Read the guides for new clients, here and at other websites (www.bigdoggie.net has a good one).

Maybe that's what you're doing wrong?

Then sometimes, they may not need the money that bad?
Most women, I know I'll get a flames-a-plenty with this one, reserve the right to change their mind. I realize that most men, once commited to something, rarely do, but women have this tendency.
It is possible that she made her cash and decided not to return your call for whatever reason. She has the right and you have the right to seek out others, so don't get all in a tussle about it.
I have had girls call me up to three weeks later when I first started in this hobby. Just a thought.

very good points in the posts above...

I happen to be one of the ladies who prefers email except from a repeat client, as i dont see new clients same day anyway (specify that on my site, many people just jot down the number and call anyway.)

I do however return the new callers' calls as quickly as I can, teling them that I prefer intial communicae be by email, so as to make sure some vital points dont get lost in verbal conversation.  After that we chat by phone.

On the other hand, when calling back I find often that the caller's phone is busy busy busy (sometimes for up to an hour after I just received the page), so I just give up and figure that my call is not that important, they are making several of their own and they are either on both lines, or have no call waiting.  

Or on my just calling back they are already on that screeching fax line, or online, and no answer, no voicemail, either.

Also, on a voicemail a caller's phone number gets chopped off, garbled or blurred, even when they repeat it twice, as I ask on my voicemail.  

And yes if they are rude I just delete it.

good luck

xoxo
