hey, girls...here's a question....

[john_deere]

whether you are local or traveling… if you don't have the courtesy to ever respond to a contact, why the fuck should anyone bother with you?

+1
I've seen a few instances where providers have posted an ad, I'll PM/text with screening and appointment request, then I get no response.
I don't get it.

[Chief62]

You can add me to that list too. Disappointing but it's ultimately their choice. It's a shame they don't choose to at least give a courtesy reply but it's their business to run as they wish.

[h0neymustard]

Whoa, that escalated quickly.

[scsholar]

Perfect person this describes is Layla Lewinsky.

I know she's likely a darn good provider but her telephone skills are severely lacking to where some BP providers have been better. I wished she worked better in that department or get a professional receptionist.

[greaton]

Great question sir! Where are the girl responses?

[stjones1919]

It does seem amazing to think the providers don't run their business efficiently. But then again, how many people do you know who do? I've been NCNS a bunch (not just in ELP), which stinks. The best ones are "I'm on my way. 15 minutes." - and then they get abducted by aliens or something.

However, I did speak with a provider recently because the topic pisses me off. She explained just how many phone calls, txt messages, PM's, emails, etc. she gets and it is hard to keep up with it all. She did say there are a lot of freaks and creeps on our side. I think too many of them use bp to drive volume of calls but they get a ton of garbage along with it. We, the reputable guys, suffer in the process.

All I can say is if you spy someone you are interested in, be persistent. But I'm new here and still have a lot to learn. Nothing seems to amaze me anymore. Keep on hobbying!

[john_deere]

it's a fair point, but it's also an excuse. dealing with lots of clients - some shitty ones - is part of any business.

[Majichands]

no valid excuse for it .

[cason25]

i travel from time to time and when i am driving or not traveling and with family i have a rule... if i didnt get your text with in the first hr that you send it, i dont respond. I try and do that out of respect of your personal life. Not bc i dont want to see you. oxoxo

[brielovesyou]

I agree cason if its past an hr i dont contact back to avoid interrupting anyones personal life. Also many providers have jobs or kids, i know very shocking that we have our own personal lives, and cant answer at work n wont around my kids.

I disagree wth the statement of the creeps are mainly on bp shit happens on eccie n p411 as well people dont always get along n it brings out the worst in people. Also le is always a problem no one wants to go to jail especially in their hometown for this whether provider or hobbiest

OK, that seems a bit arbitrary for one very important reason. If I have an hour appointment with a provider I will not be happy at all if she is checking her phone and answering others while "on the clock" with me. When I send a text to a provider I am not familiar with, I wait about 90 minutes to two hours then try again. If I don't get an answer then, I give up for that day but may try again on a later day. I have had some good sessions doing this, but also had one girl tell me to quit stalking her (after the second text.) I must say that I have never been ignored on a pm here on this board.

[john_deere]

ladies, it's not your job to ensure a client doesn't get compromising texts. if they text you, you should feel free to reply at any time. if that causes the client a problem, it's on THEM.

i also object to the "i'm with family, at work, etc." excuse. you KNOW clients could be contacting you at any time. we don't know what your other life entails. if you get a text and can't talk at that time, just say so. if you don't get it until later, just say so.

A job or children is not an excuse and many clients have asked not to be contacted back if they dont get a response at first thus our reasoning. Y not talk to the provider in ur text or pm n say its okay to contact back instead of attacking the providers. By letting them know its okay to contact back mayb u would get a response explaining the inability to answer at that moment. Communication is key on both ends. We all have lives and schedules on both ends of the hobby respect for each other should be a must
