Sarah if you want to treat the ridiculously-titled 'Enjoys' list (and whilst I realise they can't call it 'Will Tolerate For Money', it's a bloody stupid name) as some kind of irrelevant blog space that's entirely up to you but I think it's pretty safe to say that to virtually everybody else it's intended as a list of services offered and punters understand this too.

If mine was a list of things I enjoyed then bareback and OWO would both be on mine, but since I don't offer either to the people by whom the list is intended to be read it would be utterly stupid to include them and I would expect to eventually have some serious problems if I did.

Either way, one thing my AW profile is not is 'bland', despite my services list being limited, and yet you won't find posts from me about being quiet in this thread. Perhaps that's because I don't treat punters like morons.

Precisely.

I am aware that there is no legal obligation to provide services and everything is at discretion however intentionally advertising a service which you have no intention of providing is a completely different story from advertising a service and refusing for a genuine discretionary reason.

I think you are mistaking the Enjoys list for a service list, which as I pointed out before it is not, it is a mixture of things that we say we may enjoy, some are not even practical as being a service. I enjoy swinging and have that ticked as it is something that I enjoy. I would never go to a swingers club with a client but it is still something that I enjoy doing with my OH.

I gave my advice in good faith and believe that if people spice up their profiles with a little more interesting things on their enjoy list it may not look so bland and I also stated I was not sure it would actually increase bookings. As i often have said, we all work in different ways, I NEVER feel that I have the right to criticise how others operate. People can choose what advice they wish to take or leave.

But hey, the post is about if it is slow at the minute or not and for me it has not been, in fact quite the opposite, so maybe my carefree attitude is not as bad as other try and make out.

The thing is the way clients view the favorites list is for services. Clients bring us business so at least they deserve respect. It doesn't make sense to me about deceiving ones own business because that is what it is. As those lose out in the end not building it but hindering damping. I will never understand as am very honest with what is advertised. So the only ones for deceit about services offered will be the others who do this already in the same club.

Of course any escorts who post deceiving clients in such a way expect at least not all will be in favor. Especially the genuine ones. Personally this act is such a shame. That others feel the need to get more business but little do they know it is damaging their business in the long run. As clients talk about avoiding such and such. No matter how much the OP tries to make her doing clients wrong look the right thing it will never work as many keep coming back. From a young child we are taught what is right and wrong.

As far as I am concerned I am running a business and client's should expect the services offered (unless it clearly states on my profile that certain ones are at my discretion).

I mean if I bought a washing machine because it said it had a 10kg drum and could wash a king size 15 tog duvet, only to have it delivered to find it only has a 5kg drum and I could hardly fit in a single 7.5 tog duvet in it, then not only would I be pissed, I would be wanting my money back and would probably report the company.

PS: Before anyone says anything, yes I know that clients can't actually report us to Trading Standards or whoever  :)

PPS: Sorry for going off topic.

As I have clearly pointed out, everybody is free to work as they please and the one thing that I do know is that the way I have worked over the years has not upset the punters and I would not have as many regulars as I do if they felt the way that some of you think they do. I work in a way that suits me, if it was not working I would be the first to change the way I work,

I think a few people like to take things out of context, as this all stems from a comment I made re
Gggrrrrrrrrr I had 5 clients booked in for an incall day, 3 confirmed and low and behold they haven't shown and only calls I've had have been tw's and idiot's.

I notice you do not have the Available Today" option on your profile and your enjoys list is very limited, which I understand if you do not offer other services but sometimes it is for "marketing" only and nobody ever gets asked for them..

I also advertise on the "local Escorts" listing for an extra 1.5 credits and often put it on as many as I can. When I am in Swindon (Wiltshire) I also List on the adjoining Berkshire listing as it is on the border, easy access via the M4. Probably not easy if you are in a city centre but for future ref.

Sarah x x x

Anybody with any sense would quite clearly see that I do NOT have every box on my enjoys list ticked, and marketing is just that, marketing the same as guys are not suddenly going to be surrounded by gorgeous girls just because they drink a certain beer or use a certain aftershave.

Going back to the problem that ChrissieDavaar wrote about sitting in a hotel room with no bookings, it is a shame more people are not giving her advice, rather tahn spending there time having ago about what  i do. After the reply from ChrissieDavaar I would have been happy to make some other suggestion, but thinking about it all I would be promoting is further lying and cheating the punters, bless them....

I will happily carry on working the way I do and getting the bookings, if it is slow for you then the answer to the question is probably YES it is YOU as so many others are busy.

My last word of advice is don't listen to the crap spouted on punter forums, listen to your punters, they REALLY are the ones that matter.

Been pretty busy here in Leeds past few days.
I think everyone has quiet days sometimes despite what some say, and then it is time to boost your profiles and adverts abit but no by being misleading in any way. I said this earlier in the thread. I really don't think its a good idea to be advising newer girls to start ticking services they are not willing to provide. Not only is it making them look like the dishonest working girl people assume us to be but it potentially puts them in a really awkward position where the client could get really stroppy.
As for punters on punting forums...these are our punters or at least a proportion of them!
I also think we all give advice on here, there isn't much better advice than suggesting upping advertising and new pics etc so its unfair to say no-one tries to help. If being told to fib on profiles is considered good advice then people are going to disagree.

Agreed. And we'll leave the discussion of punting forums there, please.

I think it was just the way you worded things, it came across like you were saying that client's are stupid and it is ok to get them to you using false information.

If you didn't mean it like this, then I will be the first to apologise.

PS: sorry for going off topic again

I listen to clients during bookings and it just confirms any online related complaints on punter forums what have seen. EI has both it is interesting the escorts and clients talk. Even more so when read about escorts ripping clients off for what ever reason just is another conformation. I sure don't need to know more as clients inform me themselves. So when read about clients being deceived it sure does matter like we say we are human with feelings. Well guess what.... Clients are too and to start practicing what is preached for a start will go well. Or to not be hypercritical. Things like this makes me even more determined to be even more successful. So I say all the best.

Yes I would rather have the odd quiet day but at least I know the bookings I do are more likely to go well and I'll have a good reputation for being honest, upfront and that I do what I say I will do.I like the money but I also like doing a good job and being proud of my reputation. Its a good feeling! :)

Okay. I only tick on my enjoy list the services that are available to clients. Thats what is is for. There is no point ticking something you like to do if you have no intention of allowing it with a client. Its for them not us, its for them to see if what they are seeking is available to them via us.

Saying that though they do not have an automatic right to certain services, the disclaimer is "clean and healthy" and some who are not  clean and healthy still do expect certain things that are not available to them as individuals because of their own shortfalls. I feel its best to inform a guy on the spot if he wants something that he cannot have as to why he cannot have it. It may make him stop and thing and evaluate his body and how he presents it to others. A clean, healthy and respectful client has the right to access to everything on my enjoys list* as thats why he is paying me. I am my own business, my enjoys list is business related information for my clients.

*The only thing a clean, healthy nice guy doesnt have automatic rights to is my a level service, he has to pay extra for that and even then if he is happy to pay the extra I cannot let him know if its possible till I see his willy erect. I do let them know this though before they make the booking for it.  Its size related lol

They have every right to be as informed as possible before they make the decision as to wether they want to come to see me or not. An informed client is a willing and happy client

Okay, monday was shite here but OMG, it went crazy yesterday, I had my second highest earning day since coming back to this but I bet Im going to pay for it today lol?you know how it goes. Will probably be getting the "bj for ?20" texts all day now.

Hello Ladies

New poster here, well where do I begin? firstly I have escorted on and off for the last 30 years and this is the worst I have ever known it, I used to advertise in the contact magazines and that used to do me well..then I used to advertise in the local paper (extortionate ?170 for 4 days) now I use the internet and many different directorys and I have always been happy with 2-3 clients a day and I dont mind if they are hours or half hours its more a regular income than the amount of money for me. Well this month of June has been the worst month in living memory for clients...I have made this month what I usually make in a week so its gone to 1-3 a week and my phone is dead...like some I wondered if someone had posted a bad review somewhere or if AW have a secret compartment only Service Seekers can see that might have reviews on? I can't understand how for so many years I have lived comfortable with my regulars and a few newbies every week to going to zilch? where do they all go all at once?? so I  looked up WG's with my post code to find there are over 30 WG's within 1 mile of my post code including 5 new seemingly similar profiles from young WG's from Romania and Poland who are offering everything including one who is offering bareback...I dont know if this is why Im quiet or if I'm being paranoid...I've decided to extend my opening hours into the evening. Its very scary when everything just drops off so suddenly.

Yep.. I was having a bad case of 'answering-phone-nerves' for a week there, just got over it, got 3 calls yesterday, all 3 booked, one cancelled, 2 didn't show..
So far today I've had a couple of 'available'  >:( texts but I ignore them, no matter how desperate I am!!
So yeah, it's SLOW to say the least, more like dead..  :(
I don't have to be perfect, but I'm perfect at being me!

My phone isn't ringing too much but I'm still getting bookings in advance and I'm not doing too terribly, nearly at normal, really... but I've definitely noticed the phone being quiet. You know it's bad when even the time wasters aren't calling.

Helen, there isn't a secret AW thing and no review site is well-known enough to impact anyone's income too much. So don't be paranoid. And don't worry about the young EE girls who are offering bareback: young girls are not your competition. It's not like  men will see a mature escort because a younger one isn't available. They'll see a mature escort because that's what they like. And bare backers are also not your competition. For every guy who looks for that service I'm pretty sure there is another who would avoid them like the plague.

It's quiet for everyone, I think. The most you can do is focus on how you're marketing yourself. New photos can help.
