What are your client screening procedures?

[Treetop]

I just have a chat, check they've read my profile, know my age and ask where they're driving from and their age , plus I double check they know it's GFE , but do add I don't just lay there I'm pretty well very active , but not into being bossed around.

I've had a right laugh with some guys and they've extended on the phone to two hours just because I've had a regular chat , but I don't mind a little phone time investment , especially if they're new as I find it pays with some and I get a better feel for their personality, if they laugh and act normal, I also say sorry about the questions , just like to check your not a nut job and that usually provokes a response , never had anyone offended and if they were ( no booking)

Most say "OMG no, I'm a regular , normal guy and I'm not into anything weird !

It depends on their manner really , too smarmy is a no , too dippy is a def no as probably not discreet , middle ground is good .

I also check they're not pushed for time as sometimes they need to be fast too as do I , so then I just bang out the questions and get the booking in 

This tbh^
But short notice I tend to run through it much faster tbh.

Procedure is a cheerful brief info and asking if they are booking for day they are calling .
What they want how long etc .
then when they sound   nice and genuine postcode given after agreed time .
If stupid texts start following or changes I cancel .
You can see some coming a Mile off can't you

I only work on tour and only do incalls so my screening may be a little different to other workers - you should find what works best for you rather than follow someone else's rules.

A lot of mine is about my gut instinct.
1. I won't arrange bookings via text or email without speaking on the phone, even if it's just a brief conversation. That phone call is my chance to listen to my intuition and turn the booking down if I get any bad vibes. (If it's someone I've seen before and have marked as OK then I'll take bookings by text.)
2. If anyone sounds like a wannabe gangsta, e.g. "Yeah babes you available now innit?" then I miraculously become fully booked.
3. Anyone slurring their words or otherwise sounding intoxicated will not get a booking.
4. I offer two levels of service - when they call I ask "Was that for GFE or VIP?" If they ask me what the difference is, I text them a link to my profile and to give me a call back when they know what they want. (They won't.)
5. My profile always states that I'm in a hotel and an approximate location. If they start trying to get the location out of me without mentioning an actual booking, I'll bin them.
6. If they want a short notice booking (i.e. within the hour) then I'll tell them to text me when they're setting off, and ask them what time that will be. If there's a huge hesitation then they're probably not going to show up.
7. If they want a booking for later in the day then I tell them to call or text 1hr before the booking to get hotel details, and if they don't confirm at that time then the appointment will be given to someone else. Genuine clients will understand this. If they start whining about "But why can't you give me the postcode now, I need to know how long it will take" then bin them off.
8. Biggest issue for me... If they ask for services you don't offer on your profile. "So do you do anal?" "No I don't." "Oh okay, can I book anyway?" No - because you're likely to be a boundary pusher, you haven't read my profile properly, and if anal (or whatever) is important to you - and it must be because it's the first question you asked - then a booking without it isn't going to be fully satisfactory for either of us, so it's best you find another provider who offers what you're looking for.

Hi all,

Can you tell me what you ask a customer prior to a meeting. I do Outcalls only. Want to make sure I ask this right things without making people think I'm grilling them.

Thanks xx

Merged, since it's not really the same question as the other thread .

How are you currently getting proof of residency? That's the only thing I ask punters for for outcalls that differs from incalls - all I need to know is bar that (and for both) when they want to book and for how long.

I don't ask for proof.....don't see folks without feedback but never thought to ask for proof of where they live. If its the first time I have visited I won't get out of the car unless they come to the door and open it. I was pranked twice in the beginning and it was mortifying......any advice would be appreciated.....

Ask them to screen shot you a recent bill with there address on it
They can blank out there name if they need to but they can’t quibble about the address because you have to go there anyway
If they say they do online bills only tell them to log into which ever on line bill they want and screen shot it and send it to you

Amazing advice ParisB!
Also to add, I do the same with hotel bookings: I ask the client to show me the booking with name hidden, it works well x

[Mirror]

Yes I used to ask for a recent bill, recent meaning last 6 months.

Oh I never thought of that for hotel bookings I usually ring hotel with clients name n tell them that I've their guests mobile phone n that's why needed to ring to make sure I'd right room n hotel details haha your way of screen shot the booking reservation way easier.

It may be easier but a hotel reservation email proves nothing other than that they made one at some point - there's no way of knowing it hasn't been cancelled and nor does it confirm the room number. I don't set off until I've called the room and spoken to the punter so I know he's there .

Amy is there a way of speaking with the punter through his room without his full name?
Can you call and ask to speak with the person in room 324 for example? I believe it’s complicated for duscretion, might be interesting for OP also thanks

Yes. Pretty much all hotels will put you straight through if you call the main switchboard And just ask for "room 324".

Correct sometimes checking the reservation online to find it cancelled has been the only way I've found out the punter isn't going ahead (when he didn't confirm at the agreed time).

Also I want the room number for my security, no way am I disappearing into a hotel without someone knowing the room number.

Before I used deposits I would speak to the person on the room phone, another option is a photo of the key if it has the number on it.

Not too long ago a man who promised a deposit for a short notice hotel booking was not in the room he claimed, and to this day I do not know he was even at that hotel. When I phoned through (I asked his permission) they said there wasn't any such person in that room (can't remember if the room number didn't exist, room empty or false name given) all I know is that he wasn't where he claimed to be.

I do want the name the room is booked under, so far never had any issues but I don't feel comfortable heading to a room without the name of the guest I'm visiting. This bit of info isn't left with security, it's only ever in my head and to me makes me feel natural.

I must say in the past I had several occaisions where I was asked for the name of the person that I wanted to speak to when I rang through to the clients room via reception.So worth asking the client for his second name at least so you can say 'Can I speak to Mr Smith in room 323 please?' should the need arise.
