I have had agencies mess up room and appointments. I cannot imagine a single provider doing all of it on her own.
I think I am going to take a break from trying new independent providers. P411 seems to be broken and fewer new girls are using it. Messages are not going through or are delayed by up to a day or more. New escorts do not seem to follow-up with it as frequently.
I have given out my information several times. The problem in particular is with traveling providers. I am "ok'd" for future visits because they have already left. More frequently it seems with the weather its travel delays. I like seeing providers when they first arrive. Several times its been mentioned I am their first client and they almost did not make the appointment because of delays.
Just venting.
Do not hang out at the locations all day long. I have been with a few girls who stay with friends, and only come to the hotel when there is something scheduled for them. That could possibly be the case with you as well. We shouldn't always assume the girl is living in her hotel during her stay.
I am seeing the same: even if a provider is advertising via P411, not only do some not respond to appointment requests, they don't even sign into P411. The same with email: even simple, straightforward requests are met with crickets.
However, I think it's just people in general. I even have trouble getting contractors and service people to return phone calls or requests!
Very true, like dealing with your wireless service,cable, or a ton of other things in the DC area. I do know there are some glitches with 411 after running some tests with a provider I know well.
I'm new to P411 and I know I don't log in everyday. Sometimes it can be a hassle because I have to log in everytime someone writes me.
Crystal,
Do you get notified via email if someone has requested an appt via P411? Or do you have to log in to see requests? I would have thought it was the former. If the latter, yes, that could be a hassle.
And get notified of emails and appointment requests forwarded to your email, it isn't that hard. Logging in would be necessary to view the clients OK's and profile. So maybe they are viewing what has been sent? Perhaps new ladies don't need the business as much if it is typical that they ignore new requests. Sucks that this a problem though.
Not all independent ladies are bad at keeping track of things, but I get the feeling they have a million things to handle that it's easy for a message to be ignored.
Try mixing things up by dealing with ladies that have an assistant or work for an agency and you will see a big difference in how fast your messages are answered.

It sounds like you are looking for last minute appointments. I can only speak for myself, but last minute pretty much never works for me. And many ladies make a note advising against them as well. Especially last minute that is requesting a first appointment... If you primarily are looking for same day or short notice, then you should definitely turn to agencies. That is their wheelhouse.
Preferred411 is not broken, but their notices are emailed, so if you are not staying current on email, then you might miss something. For ladies who have other lives outside of this (i.e. the majority of us), checking/replying to email constantly is not an option. Also as a note, P411 is not a magic cure-all for screening. I personally still require a certain number of okays within a certain time frame and others require other info as well. It's a helpful resource, but don't count on it being an end-all-be-all solution.
Good luck.

I try not to schedule multiple dates. I pick one provider, then give all my information. I am not sure what you mean by short term. This happens quite frequently on business travel. I try to prescreen but that gets about as much response as zero. I hear PM me when you get into town. I PM or P411 and then hear nothing for a couple days and now I am stuck trying to set-up something on short notice.
I hear a lot of women complaining about clients, but its a two way street. Clients end up making multiple reservations and then canceling after booking the first date. Then the other women are left holding the bag as it were and now upset and complain about clients being flakey.
Those wondering now know why it is what it is. Wondering how many clients are steering away from independents.
I love seeing you post. You definitely raise the level of discourse.
Hope all is well.
....relatively last minute meaning they want to meet in like the next 3hrs or less. P411 pm's having a delay like that is new to me. I always seem to get mine (notifications) rather quickly if I check email directly from my laptop or thru my phone. Maybe i've just been lucky the roughly 4yrs i've been on there.
I like to send appointment requests on p411 because it takes care of the verification -- they know you are serious about it.
But when I do, I always call or text that I just left a note on p411 requesting appointment and sometimes put the info in the text as well.
I have found that that combination works really well.
I was asked by P411 to choose a new email address because yahoo was having issues with it so I started up a Hushmail account.
Now I notice that my mail from P411 just keeps going into my Spam folder. So maybe people aren't checking their spam mail?
all the hoes be on that! These old heads don't research nothing...
Standard 3 snap system. Snap the amount, boardname/p411/date check and the date ya like the appointment and wait for the confirmation of availability snap. Snap back agreeing to the time & get location snap in return. Snap the location when ya arrive and wait for the snap for you to come get some appears. #simpl

I cannot endorse cross contact enough. Send a prescreen request, then a text or voicemail with your p411 handle (name-00-m-0000) and your email address. If she doesnt respond within 2hrs, apply aloe vera to burned area & call someone else.
Note to those hesitant to use text; Texting allows for plausible deniability. Me gusta.
I have used P411 several times in the last two months and it worked out just fine.
