Hi girls,
I've searched for an answer to this but no luck.
Currently I work for an agency but I'm looking at getting my profile up on independent sites.
So question is in what ways do you arrange bookings with clients? I've seen some girls say they only take bookings via email, so does this mean you don't speak on phone at all?
Also I will obviously need anew number if this is going to be on the we for all to see, what's best payg for discretion or contract for cheapness?
This must have been discussed before, any links or search terms appreciated, im just not finding anything

Its all a personal preference. Some like email and some like myself despise it. Most of us like to hear the guys voice and judge then if we want to see them or not.
Most girls use cheap PAYG mobiles in the beginning at least as it is easily thrown away if you decide to quit.
Carphonewarehouse have phones that block too and this can be invaluable, you can get one with a sim for under 15 GBP with 10GBP credit on it.

My Tesco Mobile PAYG work phone is cheaper than my contract one - they triple the credit for topups and it's rare I ever have to stick more than a tenner a month on it (if that).
If you do a search for something like 'confirmation procedure' you should find the bare bones of what I suspect many of us do - first contact in whatever way you prefer (mine being email, and I no longer have my phone allowing calls at all when I'm at home after the morning confirmation calls/clients arriving for directions) and then confirmation on the day/nearer the time by phone. If you're planning on taking mostly same day/short notice bookings then most of them will likely be by phone, that's how I do things in places like Ireland :).
I'd recommend trying different ways and seeing what works best for you - everybody's different.

Thank you, great advice.
Yes the ability to block will come in handy no doubt.
And that sounds like a good idea, initial contact by email, that'll make it easier to sift through the TW's and questions
Thanks
