im quite pissed at the fact that sometimes i hold a slot for someone who has made a booking for that time and i turn others away as im very formal and then the dude doesn't show up and doesn't even cancel. It bothers me bc i could hv given that time to someone else. Do you send any threathing messages in the lines of "hi im blocking you for future bookings since you haven't turned up nor cancelled", or do you ignore and move on. HOnestly this been happening to me a lot lately.

I’ve had it lately as well when I’ve been available, I wish AW would have a system that didn’t allow non AW members to get our numbers, like if we have to verify who we are then so should they, and maybe they should pay a one off yearly fee to join and this would give them access to the site and if registered with AW and they were known to be time wasters then they could be banned from joining again for a certain amount of time, it would certainly almost stop the time wasting to a degree, but I can wish!
-
...and sometimes I send a message and other times I ignore, it all depends on my mood, and purse, at the time.
-
I don't give no shows or timewasters the satisfaction. I ignore them but they don't get a second chance. I usually just block them without any further communication. If they cancel in good time they get one more chance.
-
No never. As they can change their sim and do it to someone else.
It's better they keep their numbers.
It may let off steam but achieves nothing practical. If they aim to upset you, it gives them more of a laugh I think.
I try not to refuse anyone and double book and have a 'reserve list', they can agree to join.
I'm open about the list..eg 'If my 3.00 cancells, you can have it, would you like that?'. So he's ready to roll in a few minutes and replace the donkey.
I find one will turn up when double booked, same with triple.
It's a wierd pattern I don't understand.
Clients will often be patient and have a coffee or two and wait for you to be free.

When I displayed my phone number, I had a first-come-first-serve policy.

I just ignore it and block/save the number along with the time & date. Sending messages is futile - it won't get you paid and as Salty says it's just giving the malicious ones the reaction they want.
Are you getting them to confirm close to the time of the booking? Even if it's fairly short notice, getting them to reply to a text you send setting out something like the time/booking length and your landmark can weed out an awful lot of tyrekickers :)

Deposits for all. Not foolproof but they generally accept that they are non refundable

I now do this also. If they haven’t booked through AW there’s like a 50/50 chance they will show so might as well double my odds...well sort of kinda

Fewer than 1% of my bookings use AW and I get hardly any no shows. I don't find there to be any link at all.

This happens to me a lot. I only book cheap hotel rooms but can still end up losing moneyz

All my clients need to confirm at an agreed time (usually when they are leaving to come to me) and if I don't get the confirmation I send a text telling them that their appointment is cancelled as I didn't receive confirmation.
The genuine ones get back asap. If I don't get a pretty much immediate response I just move on to the next booking.
I never send anything inflammatory as it's counterproductive and you never know who you are dealing with plus it's a waste of my energy. Unlike a lot of other ladies, I do block undersireables as my phone then doesn't receive calls or texts from them. Obviously, if they get a new sim or phone then I won't know anyway but I've never had anyone go that trouble.
Tbh, I tend to have a feeling when they book if they are going to be flaky so I will take a standby appointment (I ask the client if he would like to be on my reserve list).
If I'm in an area where I know or decide a lot are trying to waste my time then I throw my appointment system out the window and work on a first come first served basis.
That way, I am always in control and whilst I do get clients who don't confirm, I very, very rarely get a no show.
(I did have some cunt at Southend who confirmed, said he was leaving and then never turned up but thankfully that type behaviour is so rare, I thought it worth a mention ;D)

I dont agree but what I DO find is that 50% of advance booking cancel through AW so i dont take them any more than one day before.

yes i get them to confirm and no comfirmation is an automatic cancellation from my side. The no show problem i mosthly hv it with those who book 10-30 min before as in saying hey are you in x area oh yeah can i be there in 30 min time im in your area too. The short notice ones are the highest rate of no shows for me.
-
Most of mine are 10-30 minutes notice which I like. I cope with the, 'will he/won't he', by popping out to do grocery shopping, having a walk in the sunshine, buying a coffee or ice cream or whatever till they're standing on the landmark. They can chill and wait 5 minutes for me to return and be ready. My main aim is not to sit indoors like a caged hen. If they call fine...if not fine... I'm in the coffee shop enjoying my lovely day. :)
-

Definitely. No shows or look and go.
-
I just block the number without sending any message. I can't be bothered plus I am not willing to engage in any sort of agressive communication as some of those no show timewasters are straight mentals who have nothing to do in their lifes and will happily blackmail you or try to convince you that their fish was drawning in the water and they will come tomorrow. No thanks

Yeah never do this. You may even want to consider double booking because usually only one ever turns up anyway.
-
No shows bothered me when I took their word honest.
A booking is an actual booking for me when money is in my hand.
I expect them to cancel and it is a bonus when they arrive. :)
-
It's the most frustrating thing in this work the time waster
I used to text back but now I don't bother anymore .
Have you arrived ? Are you here yet ? Your booking now cancelled
Maybe they wanted to wind me up it's likely .
I do block though and seen they send messages months later to which I just ignore ;)
-
I just block theyr number and move on, my time for his persona it's 0 availability.
I never double book because i work on a pretty much 80% return base of clients and they all show up at the time agreed. I rarely get any no show, new ones...

Some times I would double book to better my odds because some men can't be relied upon showing.
I accidentally double-booked recently and was apologetic to the client who was 30 minutes away from me. I made out I had an emergency. I offered him a £20 discount next time.
I was occupied getting ready then the phone rang, the other client spoke similarly.
It turned out to be the afternoon booking. I didn't say anything because it was my fault for being careless.
Lesson learned.

When I firstly ditched VS I found the no-shows dropped significantly, then when I left AW no shows became pretty non-existent.
-
Ignore then save the number so they can’t book again.

Exactly the same in the case of AW.

I have a number of Adams aged about 30/31/32 saved as no shows and blocked lol. Must be the name.
-
This is why I require deposits prior to the booking. I refuse to waste my time, makeup and outfit on a timewaster anymore! It's so frustrating.
If you screen I think that will eliminate most of your time wasters.
-
I call them any time and ask why they didn't turn up...very good if it is their real phone.
Also all no show numbers are saved along with persistent timewasters.
But deposits are the only way if it's these sad ones with a punting phone.

Hun how do you know if its a personal number or a punting phone they use? X

Too right, always a fucking “Adam”...

I agree about the virtues of taking deposits. But I don't see how it's sad to have a punting phone? If I was a man who visited sex workers I would certainly do the same, whether single or not.
Several clients have told me about unsolicited contact from working girls weeks or months after their visit, to let them know they are offering discounts/moved to a new area/ new agency.

Also removes doubt from contact a few clients/punters tell me it's ok to text, because they have seperate phone which they only turn on sporadically. They feel safe I feel safe, if there's anything to communicate

I'd say it's pretty daft NOT to have a punting phone.

If i suspect it is a punting phone ie they have called every so often. I will call the number. My phone is set to withold id. If that phone is always off or no one ever answers it, it is a punting phone.
This is potentionally one of those that will make an appointment and want to come straight away and when he's got your details he will turn the phone off. Mostly single men aged 30 to 50.
I save the number as pf and when this person calls I ask for a deposit.
