Hello. All  

I'm a Chinglish speaker lol and I'm an independent masseuse in twin city area. If you find any English errors in my post please excuse me.  

I been working here less than a year but i have been worked at other area in the country.  

I do my best to provide a quality massage to my clients  

as times go by, I have few questions here, I would like to ask from the client's side of view. If you can help, please replied. Much appreciated it  

 
1.  I'm a former volleyball player,  I'm 5'10 tall and have an athletic body. But a lot of people don't really pay attention to my ad detail. As soon as they saw "Chinese Masseuse " they assume I'm 5'2 petite woman.so when they get here, they were disappointed and want to cancel.

 I have done my part. I honestly marketing myself and highlighted my hight and body type. I wish everyone can read my website carefully before they make the decision come to see me, but some of them just don't.

Is there any way I can prevent guys have the wrong imagine a picture of me and ensure everyone read my website detail before they make any contact?  

 
2. I live with a pretty cat. I love him, but recently I got a review from a client said I have a cat and it makes my apartment dirty, He low scored me ....... well, Shall I mention I have a cat If this is matter at all?  

 
3. As this part of this business, No show no call are Inevitable.but from client site of view can you tell me what those game player got from no show no call other than having my address?  Why like waste someone's time set an appt and never show up, what is the fun about that?  for me, this is just a no-winner game.

As a provider, Is any way, I can screen those time waster out of my business?  

I would like to learn few tips how to avoid people like that  

Wish you all were

Hi McKenzie!

It's not so easy getting clients that go beyond seeing what they want to see.

 
1.  I took a look at your links from your TER page and although you do mention your height, since that seems to be an issue with many of your clients, perhaps you should mention your height immediately in any ad or website and mention it again at the top of every page of your websites, especially the picture page and your contact page as that's probably the place most guys go first (many probably don't intentionally read anything on your sites).  Other than that, there's not much else you can do other than when the guy books time, you mention your height again to make sure his little head didn't get the best of him.

 
2.  Definitely mention you have cats.  Some people are very sensitive to ammonia (cat pee smell) and even if you don't notice it, others it will be overpowering.  Best thing to do is keep the cat litter box as far away from where you do your business as possible, clean it several times a day, get one of those enclosed litter boxes, or maybe change the brand of litter you use.  Even if everything is spotless and smells nice, there will always be those people that just don't like cats at all.  Hopefully by mentioning that (if they even read about your cat) they will move on to someone who hates cats as much as he does.  Again, perhaps also mention during the booking phase you have a male cat in your incall, again to weed out those that don't read.

 
Hope this is helpful.

It drives many providers to distraction, but many clients just refuse to read websites (Maybe they can't read.) and just contact a gal willy-nilly.   You seem to have done your best to keep your website simple and highlighted your physical attributes.   I guess the only other thing you can do is to emphasize the point when you make email or phone contact with them.    

Yes, you should tell people about the cat.   Many people have allergies to cats.

 
As for the NCNS, most likely the client had booked two or more gals as a hedge against him being NCNS by his first choice.   Other than that, there could be people who change their mind or an emergency comes up and they are too embarrassed or just not caring to call you.   Not much you can do about this type except keep a record and don't respond to future requests from these people.

 
I hope this has helped.

1. I not only mentioned my height and appearance in my ad (Both title and ad) also I mentioned in my website and hightlined it  ,and I asked every caller now if they read my website closely , if you ar free ,can you take look at my website , see if I have done enough  

2, I already met all the requirements you mentioned .get an elcosed box , Clear the litter box often,put in the tolite. I guess there always will be unsatisfac people there , but I thanks suggesting let people know I have a cat , I will think about it and update on my website

...with the other two comments.

I have cats, and while I don't mention it on my website, I *do* mention it when a prospective new client and I begin to communicate. I keep an impeccable incall location but I do have clients who are allergic to cats. For those clients, I do outcall only. Perhaps you can sequester your cat in a separate room with closed door during your sessions? I realize that may not be possible but perhaps it could help.

Regarding how you market yourself, turn your height into an asset. Start your ads with something like 'Statuesque and Sensual Asian Masseuse....." so that guys see this right away. You can support this in your ad language. Let them know how you stand above the crowd, literally. Talk about your long, lean legs, how your athletic build gives you the stamina and strength to give them a massage experience they'll never forget, etc. Maybe even directly address that you're breaking the stereotype of the tiny Asian masseuse...

And as for the NCNS, that's just part of this business you have to accept and move on from. I've had a couple of clients cancel an hour before an outcall, and I was out the money for the hotel reservation. Even though I have a cancellation policy, they can be hard to enforce. I mean, who are you going to report it to, to get compensated? You have to chalk those up as losses and then blacklist those suckers. And it's hard to build in any screening measures to prevent this. Based on the nature of my particular offerings, I get to know my clients very well before we even meet, so I do think that minimizes any last-minute cancellation risk (where they don't show or pay). I realize that may  not be feasible for you, where clients probably make appointments much close to the day of service.

Always happy to share my thoughts, and good luck!

Wow , you written a lot of reviews !

 
I was very kind to everyone and provide the best I can but there always some people you can’t please  

The last client who reviewed me I was shocked I rocked a low score because I did give him a good perfomce and made him cum twice without extra but according he”s review he didn’t appreciate my extra kindness  and said my apartment is dirty , for god sake , my apartment is small and  I have a cat does not mean my place is dirty  

But I will update about my cat in my website , to weep out guys like him.

 

As for the  NSNC other than you mentioned, Did you believe some guys do it for fun ?  

Like today I got an appointment and I checked he”s number he got a reviews from other provider said he was NCNS in last year.

But I believe second chance , turned out he did it again ......when appt time is pass. I called him.only found out he blocked my number .

Those type of people should find a better thing to do .

Is very reasonable you can’t make an appointment, but let the providder know . This is the least thing you  can do!

in my home, although I don't provide out of my home.  I rescued her at 5 weeks old and she weighed .5 lbs.  She was my first kitty (and only) never knew I could love a cat so much.  My cat drinks a lot of water everyday so I do not notice any ammonia smell with her urine.  I am not an expert on cats, but I have heard that male cats can "spray" and the smell is so horrible that carpet and padding have to be ripped out when tenant moves.  Not sure if you have had your male cat neutered yet.  Or if your cat drinks plenty of water.

I am extra careful, even though my home is big.  I have a bathroom that is not used at one end of my home, and that is my kitty cats.  I have her litter box set on the floor in the shower.  I use disposable litter trays made of hard cardboard that you can just throw out.  I buy them in a 3 pk.  I use Fresh Step litter that neutralizes any odor of her covered feces.  I scoop her box daily and it goes outside with the trash.  Once a week, I give her a new box with new litter.  Nobody smells a litter box in my home.  Also, that extra bathroom is a safe space for her if I want to put her up while I have company.  There is a window she can sit in and she has learned to love that space even when the door is open she will go in there.

If providing in your home, I would vacuum all hair and dander before every appointment.  And I would let my clients know before arriving in case they have allergies.

I understand english is not your native language, but you should know that you're doing a pretty good job.

 If you're overly concerned about it, you can use services like google drive, hemingwayapp.com, grammarly.com to make sure everything is close to perfect. If I'm writing something important, those are my go-to tools. Google Drive will catch most spelling/grammar issues, hemmingwayApp and Grammarly are mostly for making sure the "style" or "voice" is correct.

 
>Marketing
Market yourself as a "Tall Exotic Asian Bombshell". If that's on -everything- you market with, people will get the idea and won't be surprised when you're not 5'1".

 

>Cat
If they don't see the cat, they shouldn't be able to tell you even have a cat. If the cat is absent and someone can tell you have a cat, that's going to be a problem for some people.

 
>No Call, No Shows
In addition to screening better, you should be clearly communicating your cancellation policy on your website and via email. Make it reasonable and request at least X hours notice for cancellations. Make sure you're following up with not just potential customers but also scheduled customers.  

My dentist is very good at this. I schedule an appointment 6 months out, but his office sends out texts/emails 3 months out, then a month out, then a week out, then the next day. Yes this is essentially pestering your customers, but it gives them ample opportunity to cancel or reschedule. You can do this in a way that's sexy and fun.

 
>Website

In addition to all of this, having unified marketing will help you. This means you have to think about how customers flow from your advertising to door and all the steps along the way. I'm a big proponent of funneling everyone to your website as quickly as possible, and having your website handle all of the real information and customer conversion.

How To Build Up Your Business:
Your blog and webpage look like you did them yourself. Plus is it’s kind of folksy, genuine and indicates you are truly independent.  Downside is that is not that aesthetically appealing, and marketing studies show that more polished work generates better results.

I’ve added a link to a massage provider in DC who uses a popular web builder that looks good.  Note it has an area that notes just basic in a non-sentence format Age, Height, Weith, Race, etc.  Guys always go to bullet point items before reading entire websites.

You have mouth watering reviews!  Make sure your TER number is prominent in your website and ads!

Go to ModelMayhem d otc om and find a local photographer so you can actually have a gallery of photos for guys to see.  Your “removing the sundress” seems to be a very well received aspect of your experience, so make sure to get at least one sundress and one removing the dress shot in your portfolio.

Create a separate Twitter account for your business persona and use it.  More and more clients rely on Twitter to search for entertainment.  

As far as handling no shows goes, I don’t have an answer.  Seek out other providers who can give you their best advice.

p411 is a screening website that clients have to pay to be on and have okays from other providers to verify the clients

impposter 49 Reviews 66 reads

I think your website is very clear about your height, athletic build, and so on but I have one question.
.
Your opening page has a frame "Everything you need to know about McKenzie's Massage" with two pictures. The first picture is of someone pouring a can of blue paint on the back of her neck. That person appears to be very thin and not athletic and has very silky hair (and is VERY attractive to someone like me! I think thin! I like silky!). Is that a picture of you? The second picture is a rear view of someone looking at the moon over a wide expanse of water (green screen or other photo effect?). Also very attractive but the billowy blue dress hides the physique but it looks more like your other pictures. (I only found 5 pics: 3 on P411 and 2 on your ad.)
.
Is that you in the neck-paint picture? If not, I suggest changing it.  That picture is so attractive that it can cause brain freeze and make some of us :-) forget about all of the other, more representative pictures. And that might lead to disappointment when they arrive. "I was expecting Blue Paint Girl!"  
.
1. V-ball player? What is your vertical jump? :-) (I'm prejudiced. Women can't jump!) Petite Asians: I will sometimes look at a photo and, in my mind, I think that those long legs and thin physique add up to 5''10".  Then her Profile or ad discloses that she is merely 5'0".  We sometimes see what we want to see! But your text is very clear!  
.
2. Cat hair, cat dander, cat odor, ... some guys have allergies. Even if not, cat hair on their clothing might be picked up by someone else ("Whose blonde hair is this???" or "Ah-choo! Cat smell!!! Where have you been?!") and cause a problem. If they know ahead of time, they can plan.  And some guys like pets and just like to bring a treat for the cats or dogs. Definitely mention the cat.
.
3. NCNS? I don't know how you screen.  Better screening? References from other providers?  
.
Gou Nian Da Ji!

The first image a viewer will see upon visiting your website is that of a petite and curvaceous woman with blue paint running down her back.  

Not sure why you selected that image, or how it relates back to you, but it would probably be easier just showcasing a gallery of self images, which would eliminate the need to provide the additional text explaining the physical qualities of yourself - which of course, most people will avoid reading, or simply skim through, because people are generally lazy, and there is far too much talent out there, to waste so much time reading the details of any one provider website.  

Of course, going to your p411 page, your stature becomes immediately obvious, and most guys should be able to make a choice as to whether/ or not they want to schedule a visit with you.  

Also, given that you're advertising on p411, guys may immediately assume that you provide escort services. Even when you clearly state it, some may think they could still get lucky with a little coaxing.  

Of course, there may be other reasons for the time-wasters, but at this point, we can only make assumptions as to their motivations.

You might try getting a new picture taken of you standing next to something easily recognizable, like a doorway. If your potential client sees how tall you are next to a common object he should get the idea quickly that you are much taller than the "average" Asian woman.  
.
You could also put the word "tall" in your web ad titles. Try something like:
.
 "I'm extra tall, and extra good" or
.
"Tall enough to reach everything you want massaged"

Yes!  I was going to say something similar about your height and athletic build, but Arden_James beat me to it.  You’d be surprised how many men /really/ love tall, statuesque ladies.  And you were an athlete to boot?  Oh my goodness.  But yes - as AJ said; use those (magnificent) qualities as assets on your ad page.

 
As to the kitty cat; whenever I clean my kitty’s litter box, I always sprinkle some Arm & Hammer over the litter after I’m done - this goes a long way toward eleminating the oder.  Get Arm & Hammer Double Duty Litter Deodorizer if you can find it; works wonders.  Also, I always get Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal cat litter; makes cleaning easier AND helps with the oder as well.

 
And as others have said; mention the cat.  It’ll help weed out unsavory individuals.  (It’s my considered opinion that people who “hate cats” tend toward caustic, sociopathic personalities, so you don’t THEM around anyway.  Humph!)

Dont expect guys to read your website - most wont.

1. Say you are tall in your ad. That could be a plus for guys who like tall, athletic, ladies. You are correct about the guys who have an Asian fetish. They expect petite, which you are not so make it easy for you and your clients. You ad should read like this.  "Tall Chinese, former athlete offers ... "
learn strap on and you will make a fortune..  
Hey, I said this was free! I did'nt say it was  good.

2. Cats. Yes, you need to tell them as cat allergies are very common. I have two cats and I always tell providers that I have cats before they come to my place just in case.

3. No shows are rude people who dont care about other people. They get nothing from it other than a bit of excitement in making the appointment. Talk to other providers in your city and share info about time wasters. The National Blacklist has been so abused that it is a joke and may not even be around anymore, but you certainly can create your own list. Screen so you get serious "hobbyists". Someone that does not have provider references and a few current reviews is not that serious.

Hello cat lover Madison:  

    my cat "meatball" he has neutered already, so he only goes the litter box.(Which I put in the toilet )  

    I living in a studio apartment, so I don't have the options to put him in different rooms. but I turned on the Irobot clearing the floor every day If you have a cat I highly recommended get one. The machine will go around and picks hairs and hairs and after hairs ........saved your a lot of work.
   I clear the litter box daily and put deodorizer on it, I have four air purifiers in my little aprt to clearing the air! (Insane! ) because I can't stand the odor. I replace the litter box with new litter every two or three weeks  just like you  

  but I do wish I have an extra room or bathroom I can host my cat, but unfortunately, I don't .....He has to live with me in the same room but I did just update and mentioned it on my website  

 Is so funny to see so many cat lovers are here!

Hello, Hello!  Ni Hao!  

I remembered you! You were very kind to me and sent me a PM last time.

To answer your question. Those two cartoon picture you saw on the website is NOT my photo at all!  

The first one the lady in blue paint is a tattoo on my leg, lol, I like the picture so much so I put that picture on my website.

The second one the girl facing the moon is a picture I use on my twitter profile. I found that photo on the internet search.

those cartoon pictures are not me! You were right. Is could cause some guys confusions, I have took down from my site and replaced with something else. Thanks for letting me know that could make some guy believed the girl in the cartoon is me, LOl. Is has been taken cared of it and you can recheck my website :)

To answer your question :  

1. I can jump very high, hahaha, Not as high as 10 years ago but still very good. I have a pair of very good legs because I used to jump a lot  hahaha  

A nice lady on TER username"Sexy Carolina" saw my post and she called and helped my website tonight. She helped with my ad, Make it more clear. Go take a look and let me know your thoughts.  
 
2. I took care of that too. "Sexy Caronia "  Helped with words and mentioned  I have a cat on my website.

3. At the moment. I seen people on short notice, Like 2 hours notice. Mostly of the caller from Backpage.....we know you got money also you got trash from BP too, I might be concerned changed my policy, asking people at least give me a half of day of notice, I do not like being rushed.  

 
Thank you, Friend, for response my post. I wish you well

I really appreciated it  

2. All of you are very helpful and I have updated I have a cat on my web. Thank you guys  

3. As right now. most of the clients I have is from backpage and I take short notice to meet clients. My screening at the moment is very simple. I check the number to see it is a real cell phone and see if there are any bad reviews left by another provider. Basically, I will see anyone at the moment who is using a real cell phone number contact me and I think of changing my screening very soon. Take it more seriously by asking reference,  P411 /TER profile etc

I personally like your blog site (I like the blue water picture in particular; it’s soothing to look at).

 
As for a little feedback:

 
The first thing I notice is that I can’t read the text in the little blue, pop-up media box in the upper right corner.  If I hover the curser over it on my PC, it tells me what the selections are, but on my iPad I only find out be tapping them.

 
Just my opinion, but I’d make the under-title (“Tall Athletic all natural...”) a couple of sizes bigger so it’s easier to see - so that that it “pops” a little more when seen under “McKenzie’s Massage”.  You might also consider changing the color of the text on both to white (as of now, both title and under-title get a little “lost” in the blue-green background; this is more noticeable on my big LCD screen than my iPad).

 
You /may/ want to consider placing a couple of tasteful body shots on the information page; while I personally have no problem with it as is (it provides plenty of good info and I don’t mind reading), many would be Clients seem to have the attention span of a nat.  Also, men tend to be much more visual when comes to being enticed.

 
As to your kitty cat; your precautions far exceed my own.  Unless a potential Client is actually allergic, I don’t see how they can complain (for the record, you last reviewer sounded a bit like a jerk).

 
I wish you all the best McKenzie!
