I only accept bookings via the phone and I only accept same day bookings minimum 1 hour notice, if i get an email I give them my telephone number and ask them to call me only if they want feedback or to make sure they have a confirmed booking will I use the AW booking system.

With newbies when they call in in the morning for an afternoon appt I will ask them to still confirm that they are still coming by phoning me when they are either on their way or an hour before their appointment time, without this conformation I will know they're not coming.

I find when a man gets gets my details over the phone and then says "I will try to call you later" or "I will probably call you later" he wont.

Another tip is when I give them my post code a minute later I will ask them to repeat it back to me and if they cant they havent taken it down so are going to be a timewaster.

So do the girls who have to use hotels for Incalls constantly lose money instead of making it if they have to use hotels you cannot cancel?

In the 14 years I've been an escort I've only had 2 no-shows and only walked out of 2 bookings. I think the reason I don't get a fraction of the wasters and dodgies that some other ladies do is because I'm incredibly strict with ID verification of my clients. This puts the TWs off straight away. Incalls aren't accepted untill they've proven they are who they say they are, rather than just accepting a booking with a first name and mobile number. Similarly with outcalls to their homes; I need them to call from their home landline (if in directory enquiries) or email me something official with their name and address on it. Until they've done this they don't have a booking with me, as simple as that. I appreciate it means I likely miss out on a lot of bookings but it saves me so much time and stress that I'm happy working that way. What I don't do is just accept that the client is where he says he is and turn up after I did that once in my early days and he wasn't at the hotel If they don't confirm by the time they are asked to and I can't get hold of them the booking is cancelled. I point blank refuse to be taken the piss out of and not know what's happening; my time is too precious for that.

Posh totty, what do you ask them for to verify who they are for Incalls?

And this is exactly (but much better put btw!!) how I feel about my booking procedure.
