I find it so weird I have been in this field for some time now and met great people from TER as well but no one has ever left a review, I don't want to sound desperate for any of that but because I have none, a lot of people read my ad and don't book me or message me asking why I have no reviews since I've been on here a long time ago....weird

I get asked to write reviews . . . .

all the time. TER rules forbid you writing it FOR the customer or suggesting or pressuring him for certain content, but if you ask, many will write one. Of course, its a double-edged sword because they are not always positive, so you have to weigh potential risk versus the potential reward. I think you can stack the deck a little in your favor by asking for a review from a guy who has repeated with you. If he books a second appointment, then you know you are doing something right, and the review is likely to be mostly positive.

Maybe they posted the reviews . . . .

on some other review site. You should specify you would like it on TER.

You can ask backhanded...

coming out directly and asking a guest to review you could put them on the spot or make them feel like if they do not write one, they may not return because they feel weird about it. No one wants that.

A million years ago in a place far far away, I was just starting out. I would bring up TER in sessions towards the end, kinda to get a feel for if they were a reviewer or spent time on the boards at all. If I felt like they were, then at the very end as I was giving my lasting yummy kisses goodbye I would say "If you'd like to leave a review on TER, I am ok with it." That way it is fresh in their mind as they leave when they are still reveling in the session, you aren't putting them on the spot by asking, just giving permission. It worked really well....

GL, Sage

TER does permit you to offer a discount to someone who says they'll write a review. BUT

you cannot require a certain score, only that they write a review they feel is fair for the service they received. In other words, you can't require 9s or 10s. That could result in your being banned, or at least suspended.

I've heard of them but never bothered to check them out.

However, I assume their product is a fake review and if TER catches a provider using them they'll delist her.

I met clients with no reviews

I met a few clients off here without me having reviews and they don't leave any. I am not too worried about it, as long as whatever I am doing is getting some business and my screening process checks out... I am a low volume provider and I'm ok with that because I have other sources of income.

My guess is, they really don't want their business out there? Or too much in the moment to leave a review? I am very happy with the clients I have and they are just not too much in the scene.
