Clients turning up early making me look bad I leave PLENTY of time between

[Ieaio]

It made the client I did have so uncomfortable when the doorbell rang an hour early. I leave an hour on busy days and hell I leave chunks of hours on regular days, time to shower, swap clean towels out, wash toys and freshen hair/makeup etc. The booking was good, I had nice time, then this guy arrived crazy early which made me look bad and both clients uncomfortable when in reality I leave longer gaps than I need (i NEED 15 minutes but I leave 1 hour gaps living from a house as I experience more earliers & want to be ready long before).

How do you deal with this working from a house it's so annoying & makes me look bad vs the reality, the early client being rude as hell. I've already laid out that early must be communicated with me first (because sometimes when im bored I prefer them to just arrive). Client or not, strolling up an hour early, I'll probabley be in my PJs still getting ready

The client came an hour early?! That's ridiculous! I hope you let him know that's not on?

I'm outcall mostly but when I've done incalls from hotels or apartments I'm like you and leave an hour in between, I like to take my time and also have a little chill before the next client. I've had a few turn up early never as much as an hour, one turned up 30 minutes early and texted "I'm here" to which I texted him back stating our booking wasn't for another 30 minutes so I'll send him the room number 5 minutes before.

I think it's rude to turn up late but equally rude to turn up early and just ring a door bell, you could have been with family, or could've had kids in there, a few minutes early is fine but I think anymore than that is taking the piss, and I believe those who try to turn up a lot earlier than the booking time are slyly trying to get extra time, which is a fail. Lol! X

Firstly don't feel bad, it's not your fault it's the fault of the person who thinks they can rock up early.

Second make it clear it's unacceptable, you have an agreed time and it needs to be stuck to. You could be doing anything, including have family or friends around, or simply valuing your privacy nothing to do with clients or gaps.

Worst I've had was 25 minutes early without telling me, at the time I was doing something else and not ready to go to the door so he had to wait in the rain.

I had a similar experience which a few weeks ago. I was very annoyed and asked why he was calling to advice he was outside when he was 30mins early. That just flagged a red flag of boundary pusher. I made him wait but wish I hadn't gone ahead with the meeting. He was very pushy with everything and then I ended up asking him to leave as he asked for bareback!!!

I just want to add to this that the way I currently works means that if someone arrives 1 hour early, there'll be no-one there. I only go to my incall place for specific bookings, usually arriving 20 minutes beforehand.

[Ieaio]

30 minutes early is VERY common, it never used to happen in an apartment, I had like an area where they could wait outside the city hustle and bustle in their car, I think they get a bit impatient/nerveous if they turn up early when in a culdesac so they prefer to knock on my door early if they arrive early hence why I want to move again, I didn't forsee earlyness being such a problem. I can't just give them a roundabouts place because i've got images in my head of them just ringing on random doors IDK why, clients get wrong door despite me giving them color and number which isn't confusing all the time which is  so don't want to fuel that fire anymore, id rather they turn up at the right door at the wrong time than at the wrong door out of whimsical hope or guess work from the last time they met me. I know im not in the wrong but I get the grunt of the judgement (from BOTH cleints its like ?? Client #1 I understand he probabley thought I pack them in, but #2 was being entitled to having space to arrive earlier yea 15 minutes MAX maybe if communicated but. o.O surfice to say that booking didn't go to plan.

Don't give them the door number! Give them the postcode and tell them to call you when they're parked up.

If I think someone might be early, I will say that I'm going to be having my lunch "but I'll be ready for you at 2!"

With new clients this would never happen for me as they need to call me for my door number. Most regulars know I am rarely ready more than five minutes before start time!

[Licketysplitz]

I agree with Ginger Beer, I never give the door number anymore until they text that they are in my road. I do a last few minute things and especially in the hot weather, I don't put stockings on etc until the last minute. I still have a few regulars that seem to think I would find it nice if they were 10 mins early, which is a bit annoying but I tolerate it. I have said on occasion that I was finishing lunch or had an important phone call etc., just to get the point across. Turning up an hour though is just plain deluded, as if you have nothing else better to do but wait for them all day!

[TrashAzn]

Makes me glad my regulars are so polite and turn up at the time they are given, had a few randoms turning up early or on a day they aren't even booked and told them to get lost. It shouldn't be something you have to put up with really. With new clients, as with above I've started a system of only telling them the address close to the time and leaving them to park up a couple of streets away and wait. I explain clearly that I want time to get ready and make everything comfortable for when they turn up so we can have a nice time and most understand that. some unfortunately don't have a single brain cell on them.

I have always told clients that they are not to come to my door until they've called me and I've said I'm ready. I've had one guy who did this to me when I worked from home - he already knew my door number as he'd been before. Luckily I didn't have a client with me but I gave him an absolute bollocking and sent him away with no booking.

[Justine]

New clients can not turn up early as (as with others here) they do not get the door number or even building, until I am ready.

 If they have been before they still have to call me to say they are parked (unless I know they will be on time as certain men are very reliable and I have told them just to buz when they get here) but if someone turned up so ridiculously early and buzzed my door I would be furious with them and they would not get to see me at all.

It is called indiscretion and I have no tolerance for it. A few have been indiscreet in the past and that is it, wiped from my client list without hesitation.

Yes me too.All clients even regulars are instructed to call me before they ring my intercom if they don't I don't answer the intercom.This is partly to avoid people rocking up early but also my intercom only rings 3 times then stops buzzing up to me and is easy to miss if I am just doing finishing touches in the next room.
