[Dirty Harry]

No bells ringing there. Also, if I have no time pressure and I just go to the centre and start calling escorts in the D1 area then everything works out fine. Under those circumstances, every single escort who has ever answered the phone to me has either offered me a time that day (usually in one or two hours) or asked me to call the next day and almost every short notice appointment that I have made has been kept. There are two exceptions to that, in one case, an escort sent me an SMS to say that she way really sorry but a regular had just extended and could I put the appointment back by a few hours and in the other case, an escort said that she got a call from somebody who was in her street a minute before me and thought that it was me (her booking) and so saw another client. She apologized and most certainly made it up to me later that day.

So, I really do not think that it is me. I think that the problem is that most escorts here do not see any reason to honour appointments that they make for "tomorrow".

Well we, "independent escorts", are having serious problems regarding clients booking.
Me personally when a client ask to make a booking, I ask to him to send me a text cancelling". Do you know how many do that? None!!!!

Then at the same time you receive another call from a client "a genuine client" that really wants to come by but as you are already booked you say "sorry I am busy" and sometimes the client only can come by at that time. Conclusion the client that had made the booking doesn't show up... and you sad NO for the one that really wanted to come by.

The problem is that you guys call many girls and make the booking with all of them.
Probably some girls just got tired to be threated like that and started to take double or tripple bookings, and I don't blake then!!!

If you want respect... show respect!!!!

Francesca, if I ever had to cancel a booking that I made with you, I would do exactly what I have done on the handful of occasions on which I have had to cancel appointments with other escorts. I would not send you a text, I would phone you and tell you that I was very sorry - and I would be.

What do you do if you cannot see a client who has made a booking?

In my experience, only two escorts have actually said anything to me about appointments that they failed to honour and in both cases, it was when I contacted them after the time to ask what had happened.

[Dirty Harry]

i believe you francesca76 that clients don't bother sending a text to cancel an appointment there is so many time wasters out there that f**K thing up for genuine clients

I think that you can handle this situation very easily.

I call you on Tuesday and ask if I can make an appointment to see you at 6pm on Weds. I tell you maybe 30 mins or maybe an hour - I want to decide when I get there.

You have never heard of me before but you say yes and hope for the best.

Then on Weds morning, your favourite regular calls. He wants to see you. He can only come at 6pm and he knows that he wants an hour.

Well, you want to see your regular client but in truth, you also want to see me - I might become another regular after all and anyway, my money is just as good and your regular might make an extra visit next week if he cannot come today.

So, you tell your regular that you have already made a tentative booking at that time and ask him to hold on for a few minutes while you check back. He is your regular, he must be worth a couple of calls and he must also understand that you need to get things sorted.

Now you send me a text. "Hi sharkskin, it's Francesca here, we have an appointment at 6pm. I just need to confirm that you are still OK for that time or to ask if you can make it at 7:15pm instead."

Wait for half an hour. If I do not respond, then give up on me, make the appointment with your regular and send me another text saying that you are sorry but you cannot make the appointment and that if I want to rebook, you will give me an extra half hour for free. I cannot complain about that. I mean, if I make an appointment, I had better make sure that my "visiting escorts" mobile is with me and turned on until the time arrives.

If I do respond and say that I really do want to come and see you and that I can only come at 6pm then you have to make the hard choice but now you should be a lot more confident that I want to come and you can also try to pin me down for a decision as to 30 mins or the hour. If I am not willing to commit to the full hour then you can at least offer a 30 min slot to your regular.

That has got to be a better strategy.

Many decades ago, I learned through my business the importance of keeping the clients fully informed and of making sure that if there is bad news they hear about it quickly. It always works out best in the long run.

An escort contacting a potential client has and always will be a big no-no. Rotten apples on both sides ruin it for everybody

I turn up and the escort fails to make the appointment. This happens 80% of the time - I am keeping count.

For me this is more like 20%. Recently less than that. If you are having an 80% n/a rate then I think at least one of these statements must be true:
1. You are somehow drawn to flaky escorts.
2. Something in the way you book is making escorts think you are flaky.
3. You are very unlucky.
It's hard to tell which of these is happening without more information.

Hun why have you not written reviews for these so called 80% that have messed you around???

That's certainly an option. I have done this in the past: Escort Ireland - Escort Reviews - Review 012185 - Irish Independent Escorts, Irish Touring Escorts, Irish Escort Agencies
Before writing that review I pm'ed the escort to ask whether there was some reason she hadn't been able to see me or cancel. After all, emergencies do happen sometimes. Only when she didn't reply did I submit the review.
I find it helpful when people write n/a reviews. I'll be very wary of booking an appointment with an escort who has a reputation for double booking, especially if I have a limited time window.

In my experience, in slightly over half of the situations in which I have made an appointment ahead of time there has been a two way exchange. Mostly escorts send texts but sometimes I have had calls or PMs.

An example from a recent encounter:

I call an escort and make at booking for 8pm
She says sure and tells me the address.
A moment later I receive her SMS. She's confirming the address and ending with "see you at 8 xxx"

There is another interesting correlation there. Just over half of my completed visits with escorts have involved in-calls with an appointment made one hour or more in advance. That means that almost one third of the total visits with escorts involved an advanced booked and a two way exchange of messages between me and the escort.

If I then rank all those visits according to my happiness with the result then what I see is this:

Every visit that was preceded by a two way exchange of messages is in the top half of my list and of the top 5 only one did not involve such an exchange.

How do you confirm appointment if she is not allowed to contact you.
