Do you reply to MOST emails?
« on: 19 January 2017, 03:20:15 pm »
Even though 40% of emails are useless fetish stuff that you don't offer or they are asking questions that are clearly laid out on your profile. I'm wondering if I should up my patience for questions asked that are clearly laid out on my profile? I mean work any customer service based job and you'll get frustrated over how little the customer knows but doesn't mean they arn't an acceptable polite customer who pays money. I generally would take the gist of, well if they havn't bothered to read a 5 minute profile, how can they be bothered to show up, I don't want to waste my time with timewasters. But then I think back to my customer service days & how ignorant the general consumer was & how a little information on the product/ service would still mean a sale with a decent enough person, (I used to work for sky & the years a customer would been with them vs their knowledge on the service they were receiving was most of the time minimal yet they were still paying thousands over the years). Perhaps it is perspective. We think HOW can you not have all the information but of course we've written it so we know our way around our profile like the back of our hand but to others it might be randomly scattered information. I don't want to be naive and accept any person who is asking my rates, services, where I am based etc when that is well and trueleyy laid out but I wonder if I am too intolerant to ignorant questions because it gets frustration repeating myself despite it being on my profile or FAQs.  I tend to ignore repeat questions because if I spent all day answering those questions i'd waste a lot of time.

BUT on the flip side, I wouldn't call up a beautician if I didn't know their prices or if they did a beauty service that they offer e.g... eyelash extensions.  I was after exawould read their website before hand because otherwise it's wasted time for both parties given it's a pretty niche service.

Do you see where i'm coming from? It's a mix bunch. I do not have time to reply to all useless questions but at the same time should I make time to at the very  least saying 'no I don't offer that but i'm sure we can have some fun' without the snippyness of 'read my profile'

I reply to genuine well written emails from clients who seem to have actually read my profile.

I get a shit load of emails and i usually skim through them all then go through again and reply to the genuine ones. The ones which say things such as "Hey Sexy" and nothing else or "U free tonight, I wanna book you for X" when my availability times are clearly stated in bold on my profile and I'm not working the day they are asking, they will get ignored.

My profile isn't long winded it's actually short, polite and to the point. I've read it myself and it takes less then 5 minutes to read everything. Honestly if they can't do that, why would I want their business?

They way I see it is, if it's clear they haven't been bothered to read your profile then why should you be bothered to reply? Any normal person in my opinion who is spending an expensive amount on a product or service whether that be a prostitute, a new hoover or a car. You read all the information given to make sure you're making the right purchase and that your money won't be wasted, well I do anyway! So I expect the same.

I think those who can't be arsed to spend 5 minutes reading a profile where they will be spending ?100+ aren't really that genuine in my opinion.

I spent many years in customer service, too. I think this gives me a higher tolerance level for the repetitive questions. I am also a very quick typist so it doesn't take me long to respond anyway!

I keep my answers short and sweet and end most mails with "Please call me on xxxx or use the AW booking system to arrange an appointment." 80% of them will never call, because they don't want to book, they're just looking for a cheap wank.

I reply to most sensible mails. Last 10 received:
1. "Are you available at [x time] in [correct location] on Friday?"
I replied no, sorry I am already booked at that time.
2. "I just wanted to confirm the next time you are available for incalls in X is the first week of February? As I see you are touring around the UK a lot in January"
I replied and said yes, but please keep an eye on profile as my plans do change.
3. "are you available for outcall to X"
Replied and said no as I have left that location.
4. Confirming details of a booking.
I replied to confirm. He ended up cancelling at short notice :(
5. Confirming details of a booking.
I replied to confirm. We went ahead.
6. "You are Devine! May I please see you tomorrow morning? I'd luv an hour with you with lots and lots of two way oral! Your time would be greatly appreciated. Yours hopefully"
I replied to say call me to arrange a booking, knowing he wouldn't. He didn't.
7. "Hey are you free next week for half hour with a 24 year old cock to suck on and fuck you hard ? How do I book a early morning session before work x"
I replied to say call me to arrange a booking, knowing he wouldn't. He didn't.
8. "As you'll see from my profile, I offer services too and have good feedback and pics for you to see. I am offering fellow escorts a free therapeutic, Swedish style massage. It can be just your back or full body. It can be totally innocent or a bit sensual. It's all up to you."
I ignored this freebie hunter and his copy paste message.
9. "Hi, I know it's late notice but are you available for a booking tonight at 12.30? xx" (sent at 11.30pm)
I ignored this as I do all other late night mails and texts. Also had been asleep by then for at least an hour!
10. "Are you free tomorrow for a meet?"
I replied to say no and gave him my future availability.

So out of 10 emails, one booking. LOL.

I don't mind so much if they check on prices or services. If I'm buying something expensive then I'm probably going to double check stuff too. Like I can see on my hairdresser's website that it says a restyle and half head of highlights is ?75, but I'll still check the price when I book.
And me, I am not a mess, I am a wilderness, yes

I try to answer all except 'u avail' , 'u workin' and cut and paste ones
I sometimes just put ' I hope you find what your looking for ' ( if it's not something I do)and sometimes get a booking out of it purely for being nice and answering .

I often just send a line in response
'Please read profile' or in response to a reasonably polite but daft email eg 'hello are you working today please' I put ' wow unusual email , don't usually get ones like that please read profile'

sometimes they send a really nice one after with apologies and I get a good booking out of 2 secs of my time .

If it's daft /rediculous ( not often ) I just send them I reminder that although it doesn't bother me too much but be careful as if you send that to someone else or me again you'll end up getting barred from the site .

I do still get ,generally a nice apology , today I had a 'sorry it was worth a shot' from someone and a ' thanks for putting me straight ' I won't bother with the request I'll post in 'how not to book an escort lol.

I had a weird ish role play request a couple of days ago , thought it was a wind up , he's called and it's all good , seemed ( always can be wrong) pleasant enough.

I have a regular , who's into Being dominated , the whole shebang/followed by pleasure but he can't spell and his emails are dreadful , but he's been regular for a while , always books 90 mins or two hours , not sure if he's stayed over but he's brings me catalogues and a whole heap of fetish gear, shoes, Dresses,gloves, canes etc .

Bless him he can barely text due to his spelling but I'm so glad I answered his initial aw mail that I really thought was dodgy .

So I do try to answer all , even if it's a no sorry that's not for me .
I find I  never can be sure if 2 secs will turn out to be ??? s

I pretty much answer all emails except abusive ones or obvious copy and paste jobs.Mainly it will be referring them to a link to my website if they are asking alot of things they should have read about before contacting me.

I reply to most emails but I don't go into detail with them, I usually just say something like "Yes please call me tomorrow and if I do miss your call feel free to text me a convenient time to call you back to arrange a booking". I'm finding lately though, for some unknown reason that almost all emails from 'potential new clients' are either of a completely time wasting nature or they are wanting me to 'coax them in' ...One guy actually asked me to "tempt him to book me"  err no I explained to him it doesn't quite work like that, all my details are on my profile and I wished him all the best in finding someone more suited to his needs.


Emails from good genuine long term regular clients I welcome as they have always booked that way and they don't (generally) do so in an attempt to irritate/annoy/waste my time.

I do ignore a LOT of texts and calls from previous annoyances. At one point I was just deleting idiotic texts as soon as I received them but realised it was better to save the whole (one-sided) convo they were having with themselves. One such cretin has been texting me random shite since the beginning of November last year, I finally texted him last week to say "Call to book" He replied "I can't my wifes in the kitchen" So I told him to stop texting me then, to then receive a barrage of abuse from him such as "You're a low life get a proper job" "You lay under men for money that's disgusting etc blah blah blah...

I answer all except the obvious cut and paste messages or any that are abusive but I limit the information i give them and ask them to read my profile or give me a ring. I do think January is the month for men who have not booked a escort before to try to take the first step they seem to think to themselves I am going to pay someone for sex but then they loose their bottle and do not follow it up but that is like all new year resolutions really

I have auto reply set up
The reply is quite detailed so this allows me to only reply to those that seem genuine

I answer all except the obviously rude/abusive/timewastery (including the round robin copy pastes) and mostly just ask them to ring me. If there's a polite specific question I'm happy to answer it, but I'm concise.

I'm amazed at how many will email at 11am asking for a booking at lunchtime or early afternoon, and especially on AW. Even leaving aside that my ads all say to call or text for same day bookings, I can't believe people need to be told that a sluggish, convoluted, on site messaging system that you have to log in to use is the best option when time is a factor? I normally answer these ones around 5.30-6pm when I get home, although I have an autoreply for when I'm away and busy telling them to pick up the bloody phone :D.

I ignore the rubbish ones and send the others my phone number (which is on my profile) asking them to give me a call if they want to book.

And the ones who plonk a booking request on for same day and then not even contact me to even ask for the address, let alone check that time is available  ??? I wonder what they get out of it?
