Hi everyone,

I was wondering how you manage calls and clients' enquiries. Do you ask the guys to contact you by text only ? (WhatsApp or normal text). If you take calls how do you manage them and how do you deal with it ? (for example if you're busy)
And when you answer the calls, what do you say ? What are the main details to always ask to a potential client ?
Doesn't it make you kind of "anxious" to answer all phone calls ? Isn't it better to arrange a booking by text ?

Thanks for the help

It's not an issue for me, but the best thing is probably to leave a sensible voicemail message, asking them to text you or call back another time?

When I pick up, I usually ascertain first when they want to make a booking, as most of the time it will be too short notice. If not, I ask a little about them, what they're looking for, and then explain about confirming nearer the time etc. I'm happy to swap a couple of texts, but it's easier to chat usually, and I always insist on a call for screening purposes anyway.

Thanks Kay for the info, when you say you ascertain they want to make a booking, do you mean you are making sure it is not a time waster ? How do you know if they want to make a booking or not ?
So as example, you pick up the phone and say "Hi, when would you like to make a booking ? Do you like this and that ? Could you confirm 1h before the booking by text please" something like that right ?

I dont have a voicemail anymore as I got ridiculous messages left.
I do send a message via email reply to the rare sensible members who've enquired with my mobile number so they can call or use WhatsApp
If it's a day in working I'll just greet them and ask if they wish to visit today and when + arrange a time and answer sensible queries and go from there.

I see, isn’t it complicated to communicate with an email address to arrange a booking because by email, answers can be delayed contrary to WhatsApp for example if you see what I mean ? (Sorry English isn’t my native language so I don’t know if by email you meant like the chat section or actual email address). Are you comfortable meeting someone without doing a call before meeting ?

I advertise my email address on my site and get a handful of bookings that way but I prefer texts; email is more for those who take advance bookings, I think.

I expect texts to be polite and specific or I don't reply, but I'm not bothered about a phone call until they arrive at my street and call for final directions. I don't like sitting around in my flat in case the phone goes, so texting is easy because I can reply no matter where I am. I don't use whats app and my voicemail is switched off.

If they don't greet me properly and by name and aren't clear about when they want to book and for how long by at least the second text, then it goes no further

I concur with this. I only take advance bookings so use email. I do not even advertise (or even share) my number. Everything is done via email. I receive notifications on my phone, so don't miss any.

But if I were to accept same day or short notice bookings, I would prefer texts so there is a record of what has been agreed and there are no misunderstandings.

I'm like Amy.
I take bookings via texts. If they don't sound polite or if they address me incorrectly & clearly gavebt read profile, I just block and delete

you can usually tell who is a tw. As I say text me near the time to still confirm and will send details. Some are gone like the wind. Some respond back to confirm

I also don't tolerate chit chat over text. Just keep it simple

It's rare I receive a suitably worded straightforward booking text from new clients. I do have plenty of regulars who book that way, very easy.

Also emails can be the same.

Obtaining the basics seems really difficult, even when speaking.

I also have a few T&Cs to run through, have to say them because when / if I don't they happen. Even those who say they are discrete / reliable / considerate / driving (D&A) / age etc.

I prefer texts because I can find out before talking if I can actually see them before I give them my precious time. If all confirmed in a text then ask for a call to vet them. If I answered every call I wouldn't get much else done and you get the timewasters who want to chat, Get details and then don't book and that gives me the hump.

Personally then I can’t fathom women that don’t speak to their clients first before a booking, I know we all do it our own way but a man can be polite on a text and a cunt in person, I know the same goes for calls but it’s also quicker to call and they can ask any questions there and then, plus I always think it could be a wife on the end of a text and she could be nuts and want to come and visit you for allowing her husband to book you, and she may pretend to be him to do it and then she may text “what door number are you again”, and then boom, next thing your neighbours all know! Most of my clients say they prefer to speak to the escort first too to make sure she is real! I guess they like to get a feel for us just like we do.

I have a pal that does this and men that text her just want the conversation and I’ve seen her texting one man for up to 20-40 mins and no booking, I keep saying to her to make them call and this cuts that crap out but she isn’t all that clued up about the job yet.

No, I meant when - often they'll open with 'Are you available?' And I usually reply 'No'... So anyone looking for a last-minute booking I just get that out of the way first. If they're flexible or looking for a day or two in advance, then I'll discuss the nitty-gritty. But obviously everyone works differently.

Just as well nobody asked you to then, isn't it?

I agree with Tantric, personally I do not feel comfortable to book someone in without speaking on the phone first. Advance bookings I do take over email but there will be a deposit for me to reserve their time and a brief courtesy call before I actually meet them in person.

I appreciate many people experience some level of 'phone anxiety', not just sex workers. But I don't understand the logic where you could feel too nervous to speak to a (potential) client on the phone but you're happy to be opening the door to a complete stranger and having sex with him half an hour from now? Just my opinion but I don't really understand it.

Phone calls may make some people anxious but that doesn't mean they are a bad idea, sometimes you need to do something that makes you slightly uncomfortable because it protects you. Same like many new girls feel nervous and uncomfortable counting the money in front of the client at the start of the booking - that doesn't mean it's a bad thing to do.

Thank you for all the precious information you all gave me.

Do you all usually get more "in advance" bookings or more spontaneous bookings ?

As well, if you do outcalls, do you make the client pay for the travel expenses (uber) or not ?
