I ask for their Linked In information, ask if they're a member of P411, work email, company website, or if I googled their name would I perhaps find any articles written about them? I explain I'm asking this for 2 reasons:
*I'm trying to establish that you are who you say you are.
*I'm trying to find an online footprint for you.
"I don't have an online footprint."
It's simply incredible how often I hear this, & I have the perfect shut them up answer:
"My 86 year old mother has an online footprint. EVERYONE has an online footprint. Please don't play dumb, I'm better at it than you are (ok, I don't really say that part but I'm thinking it)."
There's various others things I'll accept, but if they balk at this stuff I lose interest. Yes I understand I'm asking for personal information. No, I don't do anything with it. No I'm not going to blackmail you, that's a lot of time & effort & I'm far too lazy for all that crap.
YOU contacted ME. I have a very nice website telling you allllll about me. I'm not letting someone I know nothing about coming into my hotel room; I have to protect myself, I'm SURE you understand?
However, I completely get if you're not comfortable with screening, even though the ad states it's needed to see me. There's literally dozens of girls you can see right now who will do no screening whatsoever, & probably for a much lower donation.
Naturally IDK about the quality you'll get from them.....*trails off*.
A little reverse psychology works amazingly well, but a lot dig in their heels & refuse to give me any info, citing "discretion" as their reason.
My answer to that is there's a difference between "anonymous" & "discreet". I will not do anonymous.
Another great way to handle the "Why should I see YOU?" question is ~
"You probably shouldn't. You obviously saw my ad & most certainly should have visited my website. You're capable of making that decision on your own."
Do not engage in that! Oooh but they get MAD when you say that, heeeee!!
