The main thing that's been becoming a problem for me is the amount of timewasters, or needy newbies that are around. Now I don't have a problem with newbies and I am more than happy to see someone new to this, however there does seem to be a lot who make bookings then turn around on the day and either don't confirm or start umming and ahhing after I've turned other, regular clients away or declined personal arrangements. Now this would be reasonably acceptable if it weren't for the reports you see every day of guys complaining they've been scammed, ripped off, turned up to tatty premises, girl isn't the one in the pictures, isn't offering what she says she does.
I am therefore guessing that with all the profiles out there, guys heads are turning at the ones who look the most exciting but then getting their fingers burned. Even worse then coming to more extablished ladies with massive doubts and messing us around as a result, thus then getting themselves on the banned list.
As said above I am quite happy to use the extra spare time, put it to good use but unfortunately at the moment I cannot predict when that time actually is - and I'm having quite a bit of my time taken up offering appointments at times clients request, to find I'm sat around on the day spending hours trying to work out who is actually coming, who isn't and dealing with those who want to check every detail by text, several times.
Like I say would relish the spare time, but I've been turning down personal stuff then finding I'm left twiddling my thumbs.
In real terms my income/actual bookings have actually stayed the same, or even increased but that's because I don't actually want to see that many clients each day - so have never made the amounts talked about here because I simply can't accept that volume of bookings. I also had personal reasons as to why I limited my bookings, this has now changed so I can be available more consistently and reliably!
