Really busy on tour yesterday but absolutely dead today; not even one booking.

A real ‘Wank Wednesday.’

And I was mad busy yesterday, but Tuesday was crap 😂 (although I did engineer it to a degree by putting the AW available today thing on, which guarantees nothing bar a tidal wave of shit; I was tired and couldn't be bothered with more than a couple). Steady today, I think.

Well I did something I never do, and worked late, which resulted in 3 bookings so I turned it around, but I think I’ll be putting this destination on the back burner.

I’m not sure if it’s more unpredictable work - wise because of Easter as I’ve had no cause for complaint this year so far.

I can never work late as my son gets in from work. He won't be leaving home for three more years either!

I think I would try to work ten am to 8 pm then instead of finishing latest four pm.

Hey ho.

My last time away in Edinburgh as noted above was shocking for 2 days, and the last day it was like fighting then off with sticks. I'm not usually a b2b worker but I worked from 11am that day straight until 11.30pm with a 3 hour booking to wrap it up. Made things worth while.

Back up in Central London and 2 days so far have been cracking but I have many regulars, also had plenty of new people which was nice. Yesterday evening went dead from 6
7pm and then come 11pm I had over 20 missed calls throughout the night I've never seen anything like it. And today, dead as a doornail lol. Not one enquiry, one phone call, nothing. My bets were to work the weekend though where people are in a good vibe rather than try do anything next week when people are nursing hangovers and getting kids back into routine from the holiday and if it fails today I will know for future reference to leave Good Friday.

Hope everyone has a good weekend earner.

Pleased with my day today - 3 x 1 hr, which is my daily max availability.  Exceeded my usual target yesterday, very pleased. Now heading into the weekend.

Today was meh, profitable but not worth hanging round central on a bank holiday and very quiet phone. This is just how it is nowadays. I've gone home

The week seemed to get off to a good start, an hour on Monday, and hour on Tues... then zilch  :-[
Had a message Saturday from a guy I've seen before wanting an hour on bank holiday Monday, great I think .... come Sunday morning he cancels it with some flimsy excuse  :FF
This happens so often now, sometimes multiple times a week when in years gone by it hardly ever happened, could go months without a cancellation, really pisses me off.
A few years ago I'd take a booking and think great I've got that money coming in but now until that money is actually in your hand/bank account there is no point even thinking about it.

Am hoping once schools are back tomorrow I will get more interest.

I’ve just had time off over Easter as it’s not worth dealing with time wasters. My income really drops off in the school holidays. The annoying thing is that if I want to go on holiday at that time it’s expensive  ::)

A couple of weeks back i went to try working i. Swansea for 2 weeks as a friend was on holiday and they said i could use their appartment while they were away.
I get timewasters and cancellations are par for the course in this job and everyone has to deal with it to some extent but ive never experienced anything on the scale of when i was there . In the 2 week period i had 14 bookings made , out of those only 4 showed up and one of them robbed me .

Never going back there

I’ve had literally one booking since I started 6 weeks ago, and so many time wasters. I’ve poured a lot of money into hotel rooms & paying for my number to be on my profile and it’s all gone to waste.

How do people carry on with escorting like this?

You can ask for a deposit , although some people are hesitant to forward money due to being ripped off by scammers ( it does happen and they fuck it up for everyone else) or they are married and dont want it showing up on shared accounts .  But if you are going to be forking out for a hotel to work from id get a deposit from people first . I normally ask for 10 % upfront . That way its low enough for people not to think you are scamming them (ie not too greedy an amount ) . A lot of people are ok with this if you explain to them . I usually have a copy and paste message that i send saying

"Sadly, due to the fact it takes me well over an hour to get ready and the fact that the vast majority of new clients dont show up or cancel  last min im now forced to ask for 10 %  downpayment as a gesture of genuine intent of meeting to secure bookings. Hope you understand "

From a previous post, you say you only accept bookings through AW and with a 25% deposit. If I did this, I would get no bookings either.

(This is JUST an observation. I’ve been in the industry a long time.)

Maybe trying to work on screening clients would help you. 99.9% of my clients, do not have an account on AW, nor would I want them to.

There are a lot of helpful threads on screening and working from hotels.

Same here.
