On the phone -
Say hi but no more
Call me babe / baby / darling / sexy, anything overly flirty that is not my working name
Asks for my location before introducing himself
Asks am I available / am I free etc
Tells me he's seen my ad and how beautiful I am (really? You can't see my face pal, I might look like a bag of rusty spanners)
Asks me how I am, how I'm doing
By text
Anything text speak in any way shape or form
Anything overly complimentary
'Hi'
Anything abrubt, one worded, 'location', 'available' etc
Any second text that continues the initial communication, after he has received an auto text telling him clearly to PHONE ME (a text that says ok I'll ring later is fine)
Anything 'offering' me less than my rate for any reason whatsoever
This is not an exhaustive list.
How hard can it be to follow this simple guide?
"Hi, is that xxx?"
"Yes, hello, how can I help you?"
"I would like to see you today please at xx o'clock."
"No problem, how long for please?"
"30 minutes please."
"That's fine, that's XXX amount."
"Ok no problem." At this point, perhaps one, maybe two simple reasonable questions are acceptable.
"Please confirm booking at XXX o'clock"
"I will, thank you, see you later."
"Look forward to seeing you!"
Not difficult guys, really.
