Title: A Clients FIRST sentence when you answer their phone call...
Post by: MWM on 03 May 2019, 06:57:25 pm
This is SO important for me when deciding instantly if I’m Going to accept someone’s booking.

That very first sentence when you answer their call.

*phone rings*
Me: “hello?”
Client: “Time you free?”
Me: *hangs up*

It never fails to amaze me the amount of people who call and don’t even have the decency or common sense to say HELLO.
I had this today, someone called me, I answered, they didn’t even say hello or ask if they had got the correct number - just straight in with a monotone “you free?”
URGH. It makes me so mad! I don’t even entertain them anymore, If I’m feeling that way out then I just hang up straight away. It’s like I’m not even a real person to them and they don’t need to speak to me properly.

I need to make a list of responses to the people who can’t form a decent, human interaction on the phone!! Just say HELLO, at least!

It’s such a refreshing change to answer the phone to someone who says “hello, is that ___? My name is ____. I was wondering where you’re working today and if I can see you at 2pm?”


Is it just me who gets annoyed by this?!

No you are not the only person!

In fact due to personal issues and work related stuff, I have developed a terrible phone phobia over the years.  I have just had to accept that atm I cannot take ‘cold calls’ - in other words only calls that have been arranged to secure bookings via email.

It’s really not that difficult is it, for me a simple email giving date/time/duration and showing they know my name and have read my profile.  Anything else I ignore (if I don’t I pay for it)

'A Clients Random's FIRST sentence when you answer their phone call'
Callers don't deserve to be called clients till you have their money in your paw. ;)

Yes, since everyone got a phone, brain dead zombies have as much access to us as genuine clients.
Hanging up immediately saves your precious life seconds.
Our mission isn't really to educated them to waste our time more skillfully or teach them life skills and manners :)

"Where are you?." (It's in the fucking ad)

"How much?" (Its in the fucking ad)

"Hi." & then silence after I say hello back. I cannot wrestle the sentences out of you, dude. TALK!

"Hablo espanol?" (Ok it definitely doesn't say I speak Spanish in the damn ad, why are you asking? TBF that's also a pet peeve of mine).

"How much?"

"How much?"

Did I mention? "How much?"😆😆😆

I bin about half of enquiries because they just talk shite in their opening sentence.

I had one fucktard the other day. Him: ' So, Modesty, what outfits do YOU have today?'

Me: 'Let me think, well I have Rosemary West and Myra Hindley or we could do Batman and Robin where I play Batman and take you up the arse in the Batcave with my 12 inch strap on.' Hang up!

I know some if that is in bad taste but these men drive me to insanity and I've lost all patience.

"Someone forgot his manners today!"
"What's the magic word?"
"No"
"I'm not the hun, I'm English. You're probably looking for some German lady."
"The address for the letter "u" is ASCII 25."

Where are you?

Are you busy?

Do you have bookings?

Barked.

It's a bit like being shouted, can sometimes be nerves.

Smoking inbetween words.

All I can do is be polite.

This is one of the reasons why I don't bother getting into arguments with them. Mostly because it's not worth the energy if they're not paying me, but I always worry they might retaliate.

Is it just me, whenever they star with “how are you” they never turn out to be genuine  ::)

The genuine ones are always business like and straight to the point, as we would be when booking a hair appointment or the like.

I agree Pussycat, it's the kiss of death for any booking. I don't know how they picked up the, 'how are you?' all at the same time, telepathy? It became a trend since last year. I think they're the 'hi babe' in disguise.

Luckily some are smart genuine and know how to talk.
The others are clueless
Do you take it up the bum ..why would this caller even think Someone would give him the time of day .
Oh wow thankyou so much for calling (sarcastic)
I can't wait to see you ..here's my full address and door number . :FF

You can tell they're having a wank when you respond to their questions with bollocks.

EG
Him: Oh your photos are so gorgeous.
Me: Yeah I'm thinking of having my lounge redecorated.
Him: Oh fuck yeah babe sound amazing

I have seen a few guys who've started with the "Yeah you available" line, but I've made them jump through hoops to get there.

Yes I found this to be true with 90% of the ones that asked variations of this.Also the ones that paid you aload of compliments generally were timewasters,trying to keep you on the phone as long as possible.

I used to think about this but I didn't tend to send arsey messages, I usually just corrected their horrendous manners and ignored all contact from that point.

Some of them are clever at trying to disguise what they are doing while trying to keep you on the phone and I regard myself fairly good at spotting them but no way of knowing for sure with some.

I have a long list in my phone as W1 W2 W3 etc and at least they can not try it on again with me from those numbers.

I think my latest "get rid of him" was an initial introduction of himself alright gorgeous?  ( I am and I was but he would not get a chance to meet me)  ;D

Yes genuine ones don't mind what you wear either. Unlike the jerkers who want you in this that and the other  that gets their cock hard

Depending on how abrupt someone sounds I react accordingly. Often times when someone calls saying "you available" I just prompt them in a 'mum-like' approach saying "oi, manners!" or "a hello would be nice!" something along those lines. Most of the time they get embarrassed and apologise then start behaving themselves. I do think some forget because their cocks are throbbing too much lol. However I don't have energy for this approach all the time. There are times when I simply ignore/hang up/give some attitude back lol

I think in fairness some of them don't get replies from escorts so they don't see a point in writing reams and reams.  However if they continue to write too curtly once I engage with them then I usually make up an excuse.

I give them a chance in the beginning to prove they are ok.  Then see how the conversation develops.
Title: Re: A Clients FIRST sentence when you answer their phone call...
Post by: Rosesugar on 01 June 2019, 08:22:13 am
If they bothered to be nice on the phone like the genuine clients then they would get a booking.
The fact they can't even talk properly or make any effort to be civilised and hold a conversation  is the first turn off .their problem not mine

This, exactly.
I had a text yesterday literally just  saying “what’s your address so I can plan my route, I have work at 2pm”
I text back “is that how you usually introduce yourself?”
He replied “I just like to get straight to the point”. I wasn’t going to see him since the first text had pissed me off enough, but since I wasn’t busy, I did reply again with “and I like to know a few things about the person I’m potentially going to be spending time with”.
Besides all that, he just assumed I had availability for him and he would just turn up when suits him. No thanks.

“How do I know your the chic in the profile huh”   ::) read my recent reviews. My reviews on escort user forums. Do a little googling.
Or “ I want to video call you now to prove it’s you”  :FF profile clearly says don’t show my face, so how does that equate to video calls are cool?
If they’re not sure, I for sure know I don’t want to see them. A client who’s done his homework and values where’s he’s spending his money is far sexier than a demand to prove myself. ..No hunny you prove yourself as a genuine respectable client.
Some of theses trashier side of male caller population (luckily rare ones) really some how believe we need to sell ourselves to them over the phone like we’re a piece of meat. When the best most respectable gentleman in contrast are such a pleasure to deal with.

Years down the line, I simply hang up and block.

I don't recall a time when it has ever not been a complete waste of time to engage with them (rude callers, not Scousers per-say  :D)

To be fair. There’s a lot of fake nationality listing going on. I get asked if really English when I tour abroad a lot. But totally, it’s frustrating for us actually being genuine and having to take these calls questioning if actually what we advertise as

OMGGGG!!! The way I’m screaming at this post in public hahaha. My patience wears very very thin with certain clients.

I’ve had ALLLL of the above. Plus when the client contacts me and then asks “what’s your name again”  :FF I hang up/stop messaging straight away. Like howwwww did you even find my number you didn’t even read my profile.

Or “do you do....” well I’m like if my profile doesn’t say I do it then your question is very silly. I use to be a texting warrior when I first started but now I’ve learnt to just let it go and just ignore the messages.

I’ve found that all of the potential clients  that message me via WhatsApp are timewasters, so I deleted it, really can’t be asked to be having a full blown conversation with someone on there, like I don’t even do that with my friends lool.

And the “Are you available” I’m reply...”FIRSTLY HELLO!”

Urgh some of the really have no decorum.

Hahahahaha! I've literally had them say, "Now, what's your name?" once they get in the room, which is beyond bizarre to me. I mean, you don't know whom you're seeing? Seriously?

I've actually asked 2 of them that. Said "You drove all the way from XYZ, been texting me, we spoke on the phone, yet you don't know my name?" *baffled look on face*

Both times they admitted they were asking for my real name😡. I sweetly replied that as far as they were concerned, it was Celeste, then once the session was done put them in my Do Not See file.

How intrusive. Hey, how about ask your wife &/or kids if they know you see an escort? Does that seem like a fair trade for my real name, you jackass?

I can’t stand clients that don’t state their purpose, I am not your friend! I will not encourage a chat!

it really has become apparent that most men that scroll through AW just look at your pictures, your rates (if you’re lucky) and will call and expect you to fill in the gaps.

Me: Hello
Guy: Hello :)
Me: Yes, hi?..

My profile says I prefer written communication but that doesn’t stop them.

The absolute worst is when they take their time, ask one thing at a time and provide no definitive information.

Just as bad when they ask who they’re speaking to.

Absolutely soul destroying.

You’d think they never make appointments anywhere else, a simple “Hi, my name is x and I’d like a whatever appointment at specific time, do you have anything available?” wouldn’t go amiss.

Reading this made my day!

I had to explain to a client that I don’t see robots the other day and need to be capable of forming more than one word sentences.

Me too. I never say my name when I answer the phone, I ask who they are calling if they have not said is this Justine?

If they hesitate and not sure of my name it means they could be phoning many on a list and are up to no good. It still doesn't make me divulge my name to them. This is all part of screening and can cut out a number of time wasters.
