This pattern of behaviour seems to be getting common — happened to me a few days ago

I know, I really don't get why those people don't send at least one little message saying they won't be able to make it, I mean it costs 0 to do so but people don't even bother, they simply don't respect our business

That's me again. On this thread, again. Whining, again.
I did another hotel incall. Net profit: £50. Plus the usual migraine from the hotel's air-con, nicely topped up by the motion sickness from the journey back home.

If you are relying solely on AW and looking for regular/higher volume clients then displaying your number may be the way to proceed and persevere with to get feet through the door.

Thank you, Justine, yes - displaying a phone number definitely helps. x

One more Rodeo you got unlucky with it just being quiet and not working on your trial go. Overall it does get more in by having number up when you need to work but weird times at the moment and things are definately not the same changes of patterns happening.

EG, I might be unlucky or just my profile could be unappealing, or both! Thanks for your thoughts. x

You could have the best shots on your profile you might still get wankers bothering you and not turning up . I stopped paying for available today as all I got was texts asking if I'm available? Not one genuine client .
Now I just put my number up it can't get worse !

Thanks, Kiss, and yes, there's not much predictability in this game.
I find that working from hotels is like playing roulette against Sod's Law. Inquiries come at random, usually not when you need them.
If I could work from home - at any time and without the hotel's overheads, things would be fairly comfy.

Truly awful the last couple of days, with inquiries almost completely stopping and the inquiries that do come are from tws and idiots 

Has anyone noticed that too, having been previously extremely busy?

I'm finding Mondays and Tuesdays are reasonably busy recently, which is a total turn around and then the week just goes downhill from there.
Plenty of timewasters and tyre kickers around, annoyingly my phone still accepts voicemails from guys I've blocked and I'm getting more of those lately.
Maybe the crazy heat this week has put a few off too.
Thankfully I have a fair few regulars who are keeping me ticking over.
I really can't see business going back to pre pandemic levels for 2 or 3 years, if then.

Heathrow area is bad now for 2 weeks not even time wasters

Nothing but phone wankers.
