I find it easier to juggle when the men are all booking half hours.

For me now it depends on where I am and how the phone is.

There are certain places where I don’t get many no shows so I just operate the normal appointment system there. What I like about some central locations is a no show is easier to replace.

If I’m in Glasgow, Belfast or Birmingham I will allow 10 guys to book the same time lol. They are really bad there. Especially Glasgow.

I and others have mentioned about treating regulars differently but I’ve found even they are  becoming unreliable.

I have one regular who books me almost every day in Scotland but about half the time he cancels me exactly an hour before. I strongly believe I am his Plan B. It’s annoying because he always books 9 or 10pm and on some of these occasions I would have just stopped work at 6 or 7. I’ve since told him only to book when it’s 100%. Nice guy apart from that.

Have come to realise that first come first served system can put off genuine guys who need tied to
a time. There are ways to do first come first served without actually saying that’s what you are doing.

The other time a first come first served necessary is when you wake to find 5 guys texting wanting 10am, 5 guys wanting 11 and 5 guys wanting 12. Would take you all that time to figure out which ones of these would be genuine. A first come first served and half hours only is what I recommend for that along with asking them to text which service they want. Then if two arrive together prioritise the one who will be asking for extras.

In Glasgow when I double and triple book it’s rare that more than one shows. I offer a discount to the one who has to wait. Often it works out that one doesn’t arrive dead on time so I can use the excuse that I couldn’t afford to turn down money as latecomers often turn in to can’t make it at all.
