I've always wondered if hobbyists actually care if a provider has an assistant or not. I mean, I know when I've tried to contact some providers who proudly say they book & manage their own schedules it can be anywhere from 3-4 days before you hear back and sometimes you don't get a response at all! On the flip side other ladies I've contacted have had some very professional and polite assistants who get back to you almost instantly and can get booking and screening done within hours versus days. I used to have the concern of never getting to speak with the provider but some ladies are actually pretty good at having their assistants book and screen for them, then they take over the communication so I actually get to know who I'm dealing with. Has anyone else had this experience? Or am I just one of the lucky few?
Which do you prefer?
A. Communication with the lady directly BUT she takes her time to get back to you?
-- OR --
B. Scheduling with an assistant/booker (not sure what the difference is) and getting everything taken care of quickly BUT possibly no direct communication with the provider till you meet with her?
I'm definitely curious to know about others thoughts -- Providers & Hobbyists.
fact-or-fiction
It makes the initial contact more professional and the booking process more reliable. After a few meetings it would be nice to be able to contact the provider directly and it's usually possible.
However, I do have a pet peeve concerning assistants. Some of them pretend that they are the providers and lead to some awkward situations. And some more, with hairy asses and all, post ads on TER and even flirt with hobbyists, with smiley faces and all. . . and hobbyists flirt back. I wonder if those hobbyists knew. Weird.
However, me personaly always anwser promptly, and stay in contact with the person. I believe it's all about organization & where one's priorities are 
However; alot of girls get busy with alot of stuff outside of playtime. That is where a good friend of mine and myself help one another. That way noone is getting forgotten or delayed responses! I find that it works perfect we just forwsrd our calls to the other and we work as a team! Damn we even help with one anothers emails.. It is hard to find bookers who are relaible and trustworthy. Especialy, for idys thats is probably why alot of girls dont have some to help them.. I hope that you dont get forgotten again sugar! BTW I absolutley love the picture you posted.. HOT, HOT, HOT!!!

I totally understand your point about assistants pretending to be the provider, I actually asked a lady I know that uses an assistant why that's a popular idea and she said that she'd gotten a lot of backlash when she let guys know she had an assistant. I'm not sure if that's the norm or not but I guess I can see how that would happen and why she'd feel the need to hide it but I definitely agree there is a line an assistant shouldn't cross, I mean if it's something sensitive/personal the lady should make a note to get back to me herself.
Actually on a funny note the same lady mentioned above ended up becoming close friends (and still are) and she explained how much communication she could receive from a single guy and I was floored. She said per client she'll end up exchanging anywhere from 5-10 emails a day PER PERSON and then there are the guys who want to 'chat' and end up sending a string of 10-20 emails in a single day!! That's insane, I mean how is she supposed to keep up with that kind of email exchange, book & screen new people, take appointments, and actually have a life! It doesn't seem possible to me but Kudos to the ladies that figure it out.
I was really curious about how other people take it, I guess I'm 'pro assistant' lol if that's a phrase, at the end of the day I don't want to be exchanging emails all day with a lady, I'm busy too. I want to be able to email her, get the necessary info, get screening done quickly & easily and I can save the 'love connection' for when I actually meet her.
fact or fiction
She is right I anwser on average 15-20 email per day not including multiple responses to one person!! It gets overwhelming.. You just have to pace yourself. Also the gentlemen know my friend and I both are providers and we let them know we are helping the other out! So that way they feel more comfortable. However everyone is different, thats why we all have our own secret system!
I have a very strong preference for a girl with an assistant. As noted elsewhere in this thread, the girls have a lot going on. If her marketing is good she'll be getting a lot of responses. I want my own correspondence to be smooth and I don't want the phone to be ringing off the hook while I'm with her. A scheduler enables both of these things. If it's a woman with a pretty voice who reassures me that the girl I will be meeting is a total sweetheart, etc. all the better.
My bias here dovetails with my bias for younger providers, whose lack of experience tends to make them even more reliant on an assistant.
But I also share OpenPitBBJ's disgust at schedulers who do not reveal themselves as such, particularly if they are male. Of course, the gender difference here and the semantic shift between assistant or scheduler and "pimp" bring the blurry distinction between a girl with a scheduler and an agency girl into focus (?).
The one time in this hobby that I know I've been caught in this situation was actually with an agency. The owner sent me a flirty message from his TER account signed with the girl's name and "XOXOXO." I told the girl about it when we met and she just rolled her eyes and said, "I know."
I understand those who prefer an assistant and also why a provider would like to have the "administrivia" handled by someone else. One of my worst experiences was the result of the provider answering e-mails during a break in the action of my appointment. I realize she has a business to run but it's tough to square with the fact that it's being done on my time.
That said, my best experiences have been because of the interaction with the provider before the appointment itself. When I'm dealing with an assistant that possibility is gone.
In the end, I think the answer to this question comes down to what the customer is looking for. There's nothing inherently wrong with having an assistant but some hobbyists (like me) are going to see it as getting in the way of a quality experience.
Sometimes it's reassuring when the scheduler is Sue Carson. She has a reputation for handling top notch providers, Amber Tai, Lauren Taylor, Jessica James, Missy Petite, Abby St. Claire, Lucious Leah and Sedona among others. Even if you don't know much about the provider if Sue is the scheduler you can be pretty sure of their quality.
I have a busy life outside this sexy world. And she helps be keep safe and be sufficient.
I answer all my emails, she assists me n scheduling.
I wouldn't want it any other way.
