Hi everyone,

When you get a potential new client, I was wondering if some of you were asking for a video call or for some pictures before meeting ? I personally feel that doing a video call can be useful in terms of "personality assessment' to see if the client seems serious or not.

Thanks for your help

No for me. Blokes can be very convincing on the phone, on video call, in person. Ive been fooled before, and I've been at this for years.

No, never.

I stipulate all contact by is written communication only. I find men show me exactly who they are this way. I have a contact form on my website and find that those who provide all the information I request are fine. However, those who skip information, don't want to supply screening info or those who disregard the contact form and email me directly are always time wasters.

In my experience, a serious client will give me all the information (including screening info) I need at the first point of contact and without me having to tease it out of him. Those who are still not forthcoming after their third message are blocked.

I must ask, why do you want a picture of a potential client in order to assess them? What will that bring to the table?

What does your client screening includes ? I would prefer asking clients for a picture mainly for ethnicity reasons (I have nothing against black and middle eastern men but they have a reputation of being violent and some past experience of mine have confirmed this information)

Yes I understand but what if despite the information available on your website (mainly concerning ethnicity), some people don't care and would still try anyways and without picture you have no clue of how the person looks like, maybe I'm wrong I don't know

If you are worried about where they come from or skin colour then you would be best asking them when speaking to them via phone what is there ethnicity? Then you know and can say yes or no to the booking, better that way then ignoring the door or turning them away when they arrive.

If ethnicity is important to you, just ask when someone contacts you - state that they need to include their name, age, ethnicity etc when contacting you and that you will not respond if this information is not supplied.

In terms of screening, if you are worried someone will try to omit the fact they are arabic or black, ask for government issued ID or their LinkedIn profile. However, be advised that this approach will screen out the vast majority of potential clients as most will not provide these details.

As an aside, weren't you asking about agencies? This is something to consider as you will be required to see clients of all ethnicities...

Sorry i don't see black or chinese guys for example is what you say or use any reason you like. I find it's better to just be honest and say if you do not want to see someone because of there ethnicity. The non sex world it would be a problem but when it comes to being intimate with someone you can choose who you want to see like the clients choose what type of women they want to book.
