Earlier I recieved a 1st email from a prospect that lives about 25 miles (40 km) away from where I am. He wanted me to meet him in his part of town for lunch hour. No problem.
However he stated he couldnt host at his place and that he was looking for me to do an Incall in HIS area during lunch hour. Understandable.
I told him that whenever I do incalls, I rent motels in my area. I asked could he reimburse me for the room fee. Although I dont ask to be reimbursed for rooms in my area, this however would technically would be an outcall (total of 80 km).
He got angry at me and said "It would be a waste to get a room for just one hour". I then emailed him saying that I would go ahead and cover the room, and to just phone me around the time he wants to meet (trying to save the sale). However, I didnt recieve an email back tonight.
I had a situtation like this before, where I asked someone to pay the room since I traveled, and they gladly did. I know everyone is different, but in this case I would be traveling and booking a room...my expense. Was there a better way to handle this?
