Firstly, I'm impressed that you've answered all questions promptly, which is more than many other advertisers do, so thank you for your responses to my questions.

What Amy said regarding the law is actually correct, so you might want to take more advice on this.

But leaving that aside, I can see that your service might appeal to ladies leaving agencies to go indie, it's the kind of service I may have used myself at that point in time until I got a grip of things.  However for established indies it's really adding a link in the chain that isn't needed - I agree with Amy, I would need to speak to a client myself before seeing him, so it wouldn't really work for me personally.  I do however like some aspects of your service (the red flag for dangerous clients and known timewasters for example).  I think that if you market yourself as filling the gap between working for an agency and going indie, you might get some takers.

What's the cost of your service by the way?

EDIT: Also your site still has the 404 error issue, just to let you know.

I suppose like any new business entering this industry, we have to prove ourselves, but all feedback is greatly received, wether it be what we want to hear on not 😄.

Which link is giving a 404 please? I'm missing it my end, cheers for that

Yeah I'm sure you can appreciate we regularly get people on here with the next big idea to make money from escorts, most of them are rubbish and don't last.  As I said if you choose your market and appeal to ladies in the transition stage, be it from agency to indie, camming to escort etc, you might get some business.

404 error is when I click on anything other than 'find out more' to go to the contact form.

Yes, I've experienced people like that myself and wouldn't want to appear in that category, but only we can prove our worth.  I've had a few people to check links and they seem to work, I would suggest refreshing the page to see if it's caught up with the amendments.

Thanks for checking.

Yeah I tried it without refreshing, whatever the problem was appears to be fixed now.

Good Luck.

Sorry, I started to reply to this earlier. As you know yourself, after years and years of answering calls and taking your own calls you do become quite 'skillfull' shall we say, at weeding out the type of callers who have a spare half hour to pass on a Saturday morning while the wife takes the kids to Swimming lessons, it's down to experience, common sense and gut instinct mainly. We also have a fast growing database of timewasters, serial testers, no shows and dangerouse clients who would flag on our system as soon as they call.

For out calls we would call the hotel discretely and ask to be put through to Mr ....... 's room to confirm they are actual at the location.

Home visit out calls, we would request a landline number in order to call them at the property, we would also check on line electoral rolls to see if they reside at the properties.

Our system is also programmed to search the callers number on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

I hope this helps.

Many Thanks

Already on it I've been doing it for years as an Indie TBH and I am happy to also share anything I find that isn't listed here and UM 

done correctly this could possibly be a good idea, especially if a woman has regulars, its not just about new clients, its catching calls from regulars who want a last minute booking, I've often thought of this scenario, because missing a call at the beginning of a booking can be the difference in missing or receiving a booking for after, the cost would be interesting, how much do you charge for this service ?

TBH you'd be best to try and contact them via their website - it's an old thread and if they are still operating I doubt they are still logging in here.

Hello again,

apologies, the receptionist service was put on hold for a bit while we ironed out some bugs and redesigned a few things as we didnt feel it was working in the way it should for independent escorts. We have worked through the agency side of things and its being used daily by a couple of agencies, this means that the bulk of the functionality that will be relevant to independent escorts is now sorted.

As we have agencies on board then we will be able to sort out the pricing etc for independents, the logic being that now we have operators working most of the time then taking individual calls can simply drop into that workload therefore we can hopefully keep the subscription price fairly low.

Another reason we have been so slow in coming back however is that we were hard at work developing an additional important aspect to the service which we now feel can exist as an individual service in its own right. I would like to start a thread on SAAFE about this as its designed for escort security and we really need your views on its viability, enhancements, problems you can see etc etc however the rules state that advertisers can only have one thread in the Spamming forum. As advertisers also dont have access to the PM facility Im unable to contact a moderator to discuss this.

If a moderator could let me know how they want me to play this Id be grateful, if we have to add it into this thread then thats fair enough however if we can create a new thread (as its a totally different thing to the virtual office) then that would be preferable. Just to be clear, our aim at this point in time is not to be pushing the system for sales, its to get the views, thoughts and experience of your members to see if we have a viable, sensible working product that will benefit escorts.

Many Thanks in advance.

 For the last couple of months we have been working on a system to help promote escort safety, its now in the final stages of production and we would like your thoughts and help. This IS NOT a sales thread we simply would appreciate the views and help of the escorts on this forum.

How the system works.

1. You register your work phone number with us and choose a 4 digit PIN

2. Everytime you get a booking you create a "job" on the system with some very basic details this includes the time you are due out of the appointment (at the moment this creation of jobs is done online however we are looking to add in a text service soon (ie you send a text with the details to have it logged).

3. At the appointment ending time, you will receive a text asking you to confirm you are ok, you reply with your PIN to confirm all is fine, if you need to extend the booking time (say  the appointment started late or client has extended etc, you reply with your PIN and the number of minutes to extend by eg 1234 30, this will then reset the booking and start step 3 again when the extension is due up. (Note: these texts from you dont need to be in response to an "ending" text, you could send them before the system has done anything and have the same end result eg if the booking ends early then you dont need to wait to receive a text before notifying us all is well.)

4. If no reply is received then the system will wait 10mins and then send another text, this time including any other numbers youve registered (such as your personal phone etc) just in case theres a problem with your work phone.

5. After the 3rd attempt to contact you the system will then notify one of our operators who will take this forward manually, ie try to call you, contact the client etc. If all else fails then they would notify the relevant authorities.

 
Additional benefits
The system will link into the database of dangerous and timewasting clients telephone numbers that we are collating, any matching would be flagged at the point of you entering the number therefore hopefully reducing your chances of a problem occuring. The same goes for postcodes, if a client is found to be dangerous then every address they have used (other than hotels) is flagged as potentially dangerous. Entering one of these postcodes will produce a message showing the recorded "dodgy" address and the reason it was logged. These all allow you to then make an informed decision about the meeting.

The system will also help you quickly confirm addresses, when you enter a postcode it pulls up the full address details therefore if they dont match with what youve been given you can check it out with the client before setting off.
 

Things we need to clarify
1. What do you think is a sensible time between texts? We've initially set it at 10mins but is this too long? short?

2. Is 3 attempts too little or too much? (at 10min intervals this would mean you were half an hour late from the booking when it notified our operator).

3. Are texts the right thing or would an automated call be preferable? both are possible, in fact, if theres a perceived demand for calls then it could be set that the user chooses their own preferred method. Whats your thoughts?

4. The dreaded bit, cost: I would love to offer this for free as I feel it could be an invaluable service (and being honest, I do see it as a way for us to promote our other services to the correct audience) however there are many overheads involved (server to run the system on, it costs us to send each text, we would need to have a least 1 operator working 24/7 to deal with any problems etc etc. What therefore would be a price that you see as fair for this? ?5? ?10? ?20 per month? or maybe a billing system based on the number of texts we issue? for example 30p per text we send? or a standard price per booking?

5. Would anyone be willing to take part in a short period of testing for this once its fully tested internally? Ideally a dozen or so users who will try it out for a day or so, not necessarily on real bookings but just to enter some bookings and check that you get the notifications and that it correctly does what it should depending on your responses.

There are a couple of other bits to this however Im hoping someone will ask the relevant question rather than me giving all the secrets away at the start.


Please be as critical as you can with this, if its a crap idea and nobody would use it then Id rather we found out now than 6months after release! Please also ask me every question you can think of, point out any flaws you think are there etc. I believe we've thought of most things but there could be something major there that we've missed or even just a few things that we can enhance it with to make it better.

Thank you for your time.
