Just spoken to my first agency... not at all as expected
« on: 09 June 2009, 09:42:54 pm »
I've already posted a thread on here today but thought I would start this as a new one as it's a bit different. I phoned an agency today with a view to joining. The lady was very kind and friendly but said that she couldn't get me the work that I wanted as she would only be able to get me a booking a month (she hadn't seen any photos of me or asked what I looked like, so it wasn't anything to do with my appearance) . She said that all agencies were interested in was the money and if I couldn't be ready at half an hour's notice they wouldn't call me again. She said that it was very easy to get pulled down and become depressed and cynical. I can well imagine that you need to have a strong character and be goal focused but I found it quite an odd experience that the first agency I phoned tried to talk me out of it! Maybe she was trying to prepare me though.

What do you think about this? I'd really love an hour or so to get ready for a start!! x

For some strange reason :) many people making money out of escorts put it about that everywhere else is the same or worse.

Why she's putting you off, I don't know, unless she's had lots of people join and leave within days recently. As the drop-out rate for people new to the work at any agency / parlour is usually fairly high, she should be used to this.

I would be amazed if there were not a better agency in Sheffield interested in having you. They'll still be primarily interested in the money though.
'The Ian formerly known as SW5'. What they said: "Indispensable", "You are our best resource", and (hours later!) "I'm afraid that you're being made redundant..."

Hi XW . Yeah I knew that it was primarily about money-  I was just suprised at her saying I would rarely get work and I'd never get work if I couldn't be ready straight away! I mean if I'd told her what I looked like and she thought I would only appeal to a niche market I would understand but she didn't! x

Perhaps business is slow for them at the moment and she was giving you an honest assessment or perhaps she thought you were a journalist and so felt the need to be cautious with her answers as she didnt want to be seen to be encouraging you.

Hi Jenni

Yes that does sound a little bizarre to say the least.
In my experience most agencies wont give you much info over the phone,they usually prefer to meet up in person.
I would advise to forget about that particular agency and to try some other ones. PM if you want to chat about dealing with agencies cos ive met a few in my time and would be happy to help. Hopefully we can prevent you ending up in a situation like i am at the minute.

We do not interview as being a national site is isnt practical.  However we try and educated clients to give 45mins to 1 hours notice for appointments.  As we are new we also encourage you guys to carry on with your independent work and just let us know when you are busy.  Also comission is only 25%

If clients want to see someone in 10 mins time they wouldnt be the sort of people id want to be calling :(
