References are a BIG hassle...

[Bubba]

kcpumper.....a new thread on that topic would be a good idea. Let's leave this thread as it is.

Thanks!

that is a very good idea! it wouldn,t be fool proof ,but its a good thought anyway.

Well when you call someone at 10 am and don't hear back til almost 6 pm, it does tend to irritate you. But when the guy is calling my phone every 15 min, is that ok? Its not that hard to give a ref in between appts. I've done it plenty, and I know providers don't go far without their phones. If I was the one giving the ref, I'm pretty sure id be expected to get right on it, and I do. I've always been a team player and have always been the one to say we can all make money back when a certain provider was telling everyone this is her town. All that shit talking didn't ruin her groove, but I'm not allowed to have an opinion? And maybe you clients should stop running your mouths...where in the world would I get the idea of "well known local providers" acting like "little bitches for nothing" when I don't know any of the providers?? Hmmmm from you guys complaining about them...duh! So this must be how this works....hobbyist talks shit about a provider, ruins rep, provider talks shit on anyone, ruins her rep....ummmm....double edge sword sounds like to me....but you can think or say anything about me you want, words don't bother me, its on my website that I like to talk shit. And I'm not about to hold my tongue about anything for a few dollars. Make the money, don't let the money make you.

And avoiding drama? You call it drama, I call it a good read! Either way, my life will go on somehow!

That's interesting on KCPumper's topic but how about the other great screening sites like Preferred411 with their provider okays and Date-Check with their provider verifications.

"But Mom, he said it first!"

Blaming your clients. Interesting marketing strategy.

Well, at least I know how COG feels now ...

References are a hassle, but a hassle that the client should never see.

I'm a loooooong time hobbyist in the area...and a regular reader of this board...I just haven't posted much in recent years. Omahan and Sarge were just young whipper-snappers on boards that I have enjoyed in the past...boards that are now ancient history. I've seen a lot of great providers over the years and am very appreciative of the top-notch service that they provide. The best ones make it personal... and Monique is one of those. I know her to be a terrific young lady... one of the best I've had the honor of knowing. I think her point was well stated and perfectly valid. Safety has to come first...and she has to see clients to make a living. Her frustration was certainly understandable. I for one and delighted that she and other top-notch providers protect themselves...even at the expense of losing a potential client. One sadistic bastard slipping through their screening is all it takes to really get hurt...and everyone knows they're out there. And maybe if more of us hobbyists got involved in "the hassle" of helping protect the ladies that serve us so well...it would be a better world for all of us.

Still learning the ropes, and who's who...but boy, Monique is defenitely off the list.

I'll give her this....very unique way of marketing herself, lol

Agreed on both counts.

Do whatcha gotta do fellas. My feelings are not easily hurt! My phone will still ring and I will continue to have great reviews because I am a quality provider with great looks, great services, and an outspoken personality. Real men don't want women without views on important matters. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The world would be really boring if everyone looked, walked, talked, acted, and thought alike. So if making money off of a few of you board members requires me to muzzle myself, then keep your dollars, I don't NEED your money. My clients tend to become my friends, know quite a bit about my life, know my views, and very much respect everything that comes out of my mouth. That's how I like it and that's how I will keep it. I'm a very honest person, and my motto has always been if you don't like it, then you don't have to be in my face. ENOUGH SAID.

it is sad, i have called/ texted many providers asking for references. out of the say 12 or so, 3 of them actually responded. and monique u were one of them and i appreciated it. i wish more ladies actually done ref. checks and everyone helped everyone like the men here do.
