How often has it happened to you? Somebody calls at 915am and books 10am. Then somebody else calls and wants to come there and then but will likely end up with you being late for your 10am.
What do you all do? Do you accept the early guy then tell the other you will be late? Or do you turn the earlier guy away then risk that the 10am may not show!m?
-
If the 9.15 can arrive in under 15 mins & only wants half an hour, I'd fit him in. Otherwise I'd ask him to call later or put him on reserve for if the 10 am doesn't show.
These ones that impulsively ask for "now" can mean anything up to arriving in 30 minutes or over so constant tit ache knowing who to see.
-
I get this every now and then and we know both or either many not turn up.So double book and cross my fingers...and juggle!
As neither may ever be genuine....I'd take always take the first booking, Mr 1 to come and do him quick, and accept the second one's booking.
Direct Mr 2 sweetly to grab a coffee, by a text or quick call once he's arrived. If I'm with Mr 1 and need to text I say I'm need a pee break, glass of water or need to wash my hands.
Tell Mr1 I'm having a shower, mislaid my front door key (anything mundane and domsestic), so can he wait 10 mins, any old flannel.

It takes me 45m to get ready, and I'm never available 'now', so would tell the second caller I was unavailable.

Which is why some punters don't believe us when it's a genuine reason?
I don't double book however for new clients I have a deposit system, I can be ready in 2 hours if I've no other commitments so like Kay don't usually have this issue, I do sometimes get cancels from those who are on 2nd or 3rd appointments when I've stopped asking for a deposit - but it's unlikely someone else would have popped up in the meantime.
I have in the past turned down extensions to find the next person has cancelled, often with a very poor attitude. It's one of those things and I won't put others out because they or someone else might not turn up.

Sorry, mate not available.
If they really want to see you they will either book another time or call back.
Plus like others, I don't sit around ready.

Exactly. I would make more of an effort for a reliable regular, but since they tend to be reasonably sensible they don't really do this anyway. I also find that when they say 'now', they can mean anything up to half an hour away and they always sound baffled when I ask if that's them standing outside my window ::).
I can be ready in ten minutes or so provided I'm at my flat, showered and my room is set up, but I don't offer a drop in service and the callers who want one rarely sound appealing so I wouldn't be potentially buggering things up for the punter who was properly organised and booked in good time.

I’m always amazed at how many people own teleports theses days.
“Now” such a stupid thing to ask.
-
Since I always ask anyone coming to confirm an hour or half hour before, the problem with those that want to come 'now' is that they haven't had the time for the confirmation phone call. I actually don't mind short notice if I'm not busy, but it's hit and miss as I can't get them to confirm.

The "now" thing makes me insane, especially in Atlanta. We're at almost 8 million ppl here, you're not going anywhere fast, I assure you.
My favorite (note heavy sarcasm) is "Where are you? I'm on my way."
I reply in the most baffled manner how they can possibly be on their way, when they have no idea where the hell they're going?
Well! You have to tell me! Is their indignant slash entitled answer.

:D haha, going to use this one next time a random calls me mentioning now.

Same, deposit taken and time to prepare. Plus I need time between meeting people to recoup mentally, physically, freshen up completely.

I get this all the time for my Outcalls.
They are almost always timewasters with no intention to book.
Even if I happen to be sat in my car just 15 minutes from them, they will tell me it's too long to wait >:(
-
Like someone else, if the 9:15 wanted half an hour I would cram him in and txt the 2nd on appointment time to say I’m just jumping out the shower as long as I’m only running a few mins late
-
I agree a lot of 'nows' will fess up and wait 20-30 minutes once you drill down and query them. Others are serious.
If I'm ready and dressed, due to seeing other clients.... I'm happy to have a whole day of 'nows'. No point sat down twiddling me thumbs. They're the perfect 'sandwich filler' in between the well organised clients.
The bad thing... 'nows' can be rude and (as mySecret says)...'animal' as they're stressed about their schedule but I pick the calmer, polite ones. Most turn up fine and they have to shoot off to a meeting so it's win win. I need 5 minutes to get ready and the booking's his.
-
I genuinely can't get my head round 'nows' though. Are they normally parlour visitors? Or do they think all SPs sit around in stockings, suspenders and full make-up waiting for a call?
I mean, I have zero problem with an hour's notice, but less I really struggle with what they expect.

Some say "I've been looking forward to this" after opening with "Just stumbled on your advert" on further investigation it can be they've been looking at your details for a while............so I potentially a moment of courage.
-
The rude 'nows' can't tolerate questions, they hang up, so no idea what motivates them. They unfriendly, don't bother to explain or apologise, say please or thank you, just wanty wanty. I suspect they're rude in any situation, and can barely string two words together. Easy to anger.
Most city types apologise nicely for the late notice and explain they had a cancelled meeting and have a spare hour before their next meeting. They pack all their meetings into one day for their monthly trip to London. Might as well fill a dead hour with a bit of mentertainment.
-
I would see the one that booked 45 mins in advance
-
Somebody wanted 'now' the other week. Until they realised I lived too close to people who they knew. According to him.
I just assumed it was all made up.
-
The worst 'I want now' punters are the ones who ring and say 'can I have our address I'm going to come now' as though you literally are not only sitting around ready for punters generally, but somehow them specifically.
I wouldn't do it even if I were on tour; I like having at least 20 mins between if I'm on tour and an hour if I'm at home to get ready, I don't feel I've got my 'hooker head' on if I rush too much, and also the possibility of the one being late and the other early etc etc
-
I accepted a “Now” yesterday and just as well because the guy who booked in advance cancelled just as the first one arrived. Before I even sent the “I’m running late text. “

The nows I've managed to get an actual conversation from, really do think we sit around ready, They do the now thing because lots are ready now.

Got out of bed this morning planning a full english and update aw and before I sat down... got the dreaded 'now double-book clash' :o . 30 minutes notice for-two one hour bookings which overlapped. 12.00 and 12.30. I try not to refuse when I get a clash as may loose both. So ran to my office and the 12.30 chap said he could kill 15 minutes, finish off some work and have a coffee all went smoothly for both. ;D It helped that they were courteous and reasonable. I wouldn't have made the effort otherwise.
Some ring with a horrible pushy attitude others are nice. Horrid ones I tell them they're being unrealistic and have a shitty attitude. I think some do it because if they ring 10 -20 girls at least one may be sitting ready having seen another client, a cancellation, no show or delayed client ....so it's a happy compromise for both.
-
Also, particularly wary if this ever happens that it’s a same guy. I’ve actually caught out someone doing this to a friend. I knew both their numbers personally and they’d used both to try book her at the same time’ish. Clearly trying to see if she was the type to double book or see people so close together. And I’ve caught people doing to me in the past. It amazes me how many times the same client will have multiple personas / numbers / accounts all leading back to one person.

This happens to me a heck of a lot but more often than not the second caller doesn’t come through in the end

tbh when I'm doing incall days, sitting around in my stockings and makeup waiting for calls is exactly what I'm doing ;D Though I have set days to work and publish clearly on my profile (which they barely read anyway lol) that I'm only available for short notice bookings when the green light is on.

The nows I've managed to get an actual conversation from, really do think we sit around ready, They do the now thing because lots are ready now.
I've asked the nows this too & got a similar response. A few other reasons;
1. Impulsive & opportunistic.
2. Don't like having anyone to answer to they expect you to jump for them.
3. Can't organise their time very well
4. Poor communication & they don't know how to play it.
5. Second choice as another has let them down at the last minute.
6. Delusional, thinking we are up for it all the time at the drop of a hat. :P
