[...] record and log all calls for you,

Are you saying that you will be recording punters calls without their knowledge and consent, or will you be asking them for permission? I can't see many giving it - will you also be making it clear that you are a third party answering service and that they're not speaking to the woman they thought they were calling?

We also offer lots of free, useful industry  advice for our clients, providing daily assistance on many levels and subjects.

Could you expand on this for us, please?

Hi Amy, Curvygal

Apologies, we had some updates done last night that caused the issue, all should be fixed now, thanks for picking that up.

First answer regarding the recording of calls. Should any of our clients request that we implement 'real time' call recording due to situations of stalking or worries that their clients could be someone they know then yes, we would most definitely play a recorded statement to inform the caller that their conversation may be recorded.  Because all of our clients are assigned their own personal line we are able to record the mount of calls for them, log the call types, the times of calls and other stats. When passed back to our client, these stats can provide useful and give you a good insight to plan your work time, for example, if over a period of 4 weeks you can see from the stats we provide that calls resulting in appointments are minimal between the hours of 2-3pm you can then plan to spend that time differently maybe.  You may notice that in a period of 3 months that you may get 1 week in every 5 that is quieter, a better time for you to take holidays for example. The stats we can provide can help you to maximise your earning potential, freeing up your time. Because this info is coming directly from the telephony system they are far more accurate than manually compiled.

How do we deal with client enquires? For starters, we will not pretend to be you, but, also, we will not openly advertise we are a third party.  Our professional, industry experienced call handlers simply answer with "Good Morning/Good Afternoon, how can I help?

When our clients sign up with us we take all of their details, we log their website and Adultwork details so that the call handler has them to hand during all of their calls.  Our clients are given access to our phone app that contains a personal interactive diary. All we ask is that our clients add any pre booked appointments in to the diary before you divert to us. This means we do not double book you. It also means we can add clients bookings directly to their calendar, including all of the client details.

We would take complete ownership of each call. We would not discuss services on behalf  of but using info and websites provided by the client we could advise on availability, price and then refer the caller to the clients website for the 'finer' details.

Because you are assigned your own personal line, when someone calls your normal mobile number, when you are diverted to us, when the call comes through on our system it flashes up on the screen which client it is for along with our clients details.

All of our call handlers, myself included are ex industry and have been sex workers for many years so questions such as mentioned will not faze us at all and we have a very professional bank of answers for these.  We also have a large and ever growing database of Timewasters, Sext pests and dangerous which will automatically flag up as the caller rings so we can cut out an awful lot of dross.  Also, as previously stated, our handlers are very experienced call takers.

Industry Advice? - We currently liase with professionals who work directly with sex workers, support workers, health workers, finance support and the police, we are in a good position to relay this info back to anyone requesting assistance.

So basically we're going to need the punters to call us directly anyway to sort out services, directions to our incall premises and so forth? Not that I would ever agree to see somebody I hadn't spoken to myself - no two people's screening is the same, after all.

I can't see many indies being interested, although I suppose agency workers making the transition (and who are already comfortable with third parties sending them punters they've had no say in) and ditto punters who are used to dealing with agencies/third parties, but they're not the punters who call me. Personally, my phone's call blocker/autoresponder app takes over when I'm busy and suits me fine.

Surely if what people are paying you for is actually arranging bookings, this would fall foul of the 'Controlling Prostitution For Gain' legislation? Maids and receptionists have been arrested and prosecuted for doing exactly the same thing, after all.

No, upon signing with us the client would give us their full details, address, postcode, location for their client  to confirm from, all the usual details other than visually seing them would be delt with us during the period your forwarded to us. The whole ethos of our service is that we deal with the call from start to finish.  I understand it's not going to be a service that suites everyone, but it is a service that's becoming popular.

Without appearing cocky, we are well within the law with our service and we are fully aware of what current legislations state. As I mentioned previously, we will be having no involvement with supplying info on services, for this the caller will be directed back to your profiles or websites. We are simply a third party who take incoming bookings as requested by the client. This would be the case for any client who decides to use our service.

Once again, we appreciate that this service won't be everyone's cup of tea, however, there are many ladies who feel forced to work for an agency because they can not afford the luxury of being able to answer their phones.  Some simply don't want the hassle but want to remain working indipendant.

We would need the address of where you want your clients to turn up if you are doing incalls.

Current legislation for the UK clearly states that the act of Prostitution is not illegal, however, certain aspects such as 'pimping', soliciting, trafficking and yes, as you rightly state, controlling prostitution for gain. According to the law, to control someone in these circumstances is to force them to do something. Our service is clearly not in that category. We do not publicise or promote services offered by any of our clients. They employ us, not the other way around.

We all work on the same proviso in this industry, like it or not and that is 'all monies paid to the girl are for time and companionship only'. We don't act as an agent, we don't supply working flats, we don't supply drivers and we don't advertise for 'punters'

As I've said before, our service won't suit everyone, particularly yourself. However, should you wish to try it out we are more than happy to pop you on the waiting list for a free week trial.

There is no over ride system for regular clients that allows you to 'drop out' for their calls. We can however set up 'regular' lists so we can adapt the call handling skills to those. But, considering that this service is generally used by clients who are unable to answer their calls because they are either in an appointment, on holiday or at any other inoportune moment then, you screening your own calls wouldn't be part of the equation.

We have worked with many busy escorts on developing this system and we've managed where possible to cover most scenarios but for some, our service simply won't be for them.

You say you are all ex industry? But I find this very hard to believe. If you have ever been an indie escort, you surely know that speaking to clients yourself, asking the questions, gatherting the details, are all incredibly important in keeping yourself safe. A third party call centre can't tell you if you'll get a bad gut feeling talking to a potential punter can it? I'm pretty sure the service you are offering is what they invented voicemail for... It doesn't process to me that anyone who has worked as an ex indie escort would think our way of working has any need for this service...

No, 'control' in this context (the context being Section 53 of the Sexual Offences Act, which came into play in 2004), only means doing something which directly results in somebody else engaging in prostitution, which includes telling them that they have a booking at X time or in X place. It's nothing to do with forcing anybody to do anything - I've no idea who's told you this, but if you paid them I would ask for your money back. Agencies don't all supply premises or drivers, nor do they employ the people who engage them, either - sex workers are self-employed.

I'm not sure who or what you mean by 'we', but the people here are very comfortable with the fact that they offer sexual services in exchange for payment, and those payments are organised in units of time rather than per service. This is perfectly legal, and the reason we don't advertise rates at (say) ?50 for a shag or ?30 for a blowjob or whatever is because it would be impossible to keep a bookings diary organised without knowing how long each punter would be there.

If I book a 30 or 60 minute massage, I'm still paying for the massage; choosing whether to have one for 30 or 60 minutes is purely so that the masseuse can plan her day and inform others of her availability. Selling sex is no different.
