Addressing Etiquette...
« on: 13 February 2013, 11:46:14 pm »
For the past few weeks I?ve been torturing myself trying to do an Etiquette Section for my site.

I want to put 5 things I expect from the customer and 5 things they can expect from me.

The reason it is taking so bloody long is because despite numerous attempts, I just can?t seem to find the right words and I don?t want to come across as an idiot. I?m also really struggling to get the tone right (I hate rants and orders etc). I?m on the NINTH(!) draft of the page and I still don?t think it?s good enough to be published.

Also I can?t think what my obligations should be. So far I?ve included the right to expect absolute discretion from me and the fact I?m generous with time. So I need three more good ones!

For those of you who address etiquette in your advertising, what things do you ask for and expect in return?

Thanks xxx

Cleanliness, punctuality, respect, hospitality, excitement, friendliness and prim come to my mind (?). ;D

I think friendliness is a good one to emphasise...two more needed please  ;D
First five go without saying and I can't always promise to be prim! LOL

Safety?! Ummm how do I say politely and eloquently "I promise not to stab or kill you during our time together?"
Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

You are very good though Ana with suggestions, I will send you a cheque along with a tip, if you agree to critique the final version!

By safety I meant: "I provide a 100% safe environment" (meaning: Your client will be safe at your place because a) you don't have a gang of Albanian guys playing poker in the next room lol -I swear to god a client once told me this happened to him-  b) your place is not in a dodgy area, or council estate, c) You don't have a pimp d) You're not involved in any ilegal activities whatsoever or e) You don't have a hungry rottweiller with a penchant for horny men in the living room lol! (I think you should put this last one in your website. It's a great selling " line"  ;D

Hmmm, I see what you?re trying to get at but I don?t like talking about that sort of thing in public. You never know a proper whacko could read that and think ?great she?ll be on her own?
Obviously I have security procedures in place but again I don?t think it?s best to harp on about that. Sorry I am difficult!
So, still need one more...
Any ideas about what I should list for the guys?
So far I have; a) to have read the basics on my site before contacting me b)to follow my confirmation procedure c) to arrive on time or inform me of delays d) respect the services I offer and those that I don?t and e) I don?t like being called babe!!! so please call me Alisha lol

I have an etiquette section but its all about their responsibilities, not mine (my feeling is thats covered elsewhere & you shouldn't have to swear on a bible that your place is discreet, you are on your own, there are no huge guys waiting to mug people etc etc)

I have 3 sections - one covering behaviour in the run up to the booking, one for during the booking and a list of unacceptable behaviours that would mean the booking was terminated immediately.

Well a lot of them are basics which I'm sure you have covered already ie. how to book, about showing respect, about letting me know if they are running late.

I ask that they read my profile and make sure my Likes are compatible with theirs; as to behaviours I wouldn't tolerate examples are - arriving inebriated/under influence of drugs, behaving in a threatening/aggressive manner.

You get the gist.

I have client guidelines on my profile  which incoporates what they expect from me and what id expect from them. and also that i offer a discreet professional service. that the premisies are clean, safe & private.
I also state that i have 24 hr security should i ever need it.

I was looking at a 'high class' site the other day and the only thing it had in the etiquette section was "don't be an arse".
C'mon Alisha, keep it simple!

Ha ha!  :D
I'm at the stage now where I feel like throwing my lappy out of the window but I'm not one to start a project and not complete it. I shall soldier on...
