Wanna Book Right Now?

[philipkntz]

Sometimes if you know they are coming, a PM a day or two ahead can be useful(the only time I have used PM's.)
My second phonecall has actually proved successful, though she seems a little reticent.

you dont get it. I'm talking about an escort that suddenly appears to be in your town for the day or just a few hours, but really she isn't touring at all. She's really taking the rest of the day off, but her ad is still active, so she pretends to be elsewhere,not carrying about the havoc they cause.

Last few weeks have had pop up questions appear at the bottom of the screen,which I ignored. Couple of different questions, only one I remember was, '' Do you prefer to book escorts who participate in the forums? ''
Didn't reply, might be on the level or just encourage spam from non genuine escorts.

They asked me on one of the pop up questions something like what are you looking when you book an escort, or are you an escort or a client? Weird questions given the fact that I've been advertising here for two years and no, unfortunately I have no intention to book an escort in the near future...

no, unfortunately I have no intention to book an escort in the near future...

You sure? I'll do you a deal ☺

Occasionally my heart has stopped beating because a top escort has stepped outside the pale and is within easy driveing distance. Then they don't answer their phones. It would be handy if they could switch off their ad instead of giving us country folk heart attacks.

You can't expect an escort to be able to answer her phone all day long - if they are with a client the phone won't be answered!

If you don't get an answer leave it for a bit and try later. Send a short concise txt and the chances are the lady will reply when she has time.

It is best to plan ahead - popular ladies will have advance bookings - don't expect to be able to meet a popular lady with 10 minutes notice. I have often booked 2 or 3 days in advance so I can be sure of actually meeting the lady of my choice.

When I used to have an website I had this option app where I could update my bookings and my clients could see when I was available and they could book straight away.
It worked very well for me and easier when I wasn't able to answer the phone or call back each missed call number.Would be nice to see it here too.

How exactly does this new system work? it it like a taxi app?
Does an escort have to log on here when she gets a booking to switch off the "Available Now" option and then log back on again when she is finished to reactivate the "Available Now" option?
If seems very confusing and labour intensive to me with the possibility of ladies losing out on business if someone uses the "Available Now" filter while searching.
I just did a search for D18 and saw 14 ladies advertising.
I clicked on the "Available Now" filter and the search came up with 0 ladies!!! I'm sorry — but I find it hard to believe that there are no ladies working at 11:15am on a Thursday morning.

The advertisers are running a business, this is a tool that is available to use if they wish, when they have a time for appointment available now, on the given time during the day. Turning the feature off would normally be used when they just received a booking which is confirmed.
With regards to the 0 results, this simply means that no advertisers have indicated that they are "available now". This does not mean that no one is available, surely many will be, but none have used the feature to indicate their availability.

So if we dont extra pay for Available now guys will think we are not available??? and whats the point to pay for advertisment then? If we will not be available we will not pay the advert right? Is not like in AW where to create profile and appear on website is free and u just pay when u are available. here is paid the advert. so i see a non sense to pay for same thing (to show i,m available) for this are the schedule hours to show when we are available. Very confusing indeed...

The new feature is used to indicate that you are available to book right now: "available now" - as in, you are not currently with a client and are available to answer the telephone.
Ladies, this is a long standing frustration of the people who use the site. Our market research indicates that a large portion of clients would like to know this information.
We generally don’t share stats results, however:
51.4% of the polled users indicated that they want to book right now when they view the website so the "available now" is a good indicator of who will fit their needs
24.5% of the polled users indicated that they find if frustrating to call escorts and they don’t answer the phone (busy, with a client, not working etc)
24.1% of the polled users indicated that they don’t care either way

Yes of course ,otherwise if we have just to click on the button for Available today everybody will hit the ,Available Today, in the morning and turned off in the evening.... yes maybe was a better idea to be free (not paid) and u just click when u r Available as not all guys look at the schedule hours. At list in this way they see clear who is available and who is not without to check the schedule hours. Will be good for punters and girls ONLY In this format how is introduced now (paid) is good just for website as we already have a schedule hrs so they can see when we are available and when we dont. Sorry if someone dont like my opinion but this is my point of view

Correct. you are exactly right. This has to be a paid for service to stop it being abused. The point with the feature is that sometimes you are with a client or unavailable, by using the feature you can indicate when you are available for a booking.

Of course it is an extra charge and you can only use the facility if you are already paying for an advert of 3 days or more. (. ..)The problem is it relies on a) the sex worker remembering to turn off the available now when they are working and switching it back on when they are not and or b) having someone to answer the phone when they are unable to answer it.
It seems to do very little when we have our times of work on our adverts already showing our availability, however if we make any changes in the evening to our advert they don't get changed until the next day due to moderation.

It’s an extra charge which helps to combat abuse. We can only provide the tools for the escort to manage their adverts, it’s up to them if they choose to use them. We have 24 hour support via phone, live chat, e-mail, to help you with changes to your adverts.

It seems to do very little when we have our times of work on our adverts already showing our availability.

Ladies are with clients during their advertised opening hours and therefore cannot answer their telephone, clients find this frustrating.

Well, no one asked me to participate in a survey — and I certainly did not tell anyone I was sick of calling girls that were not answering their phones when they were showing as advertising — I wonder who did?

Well, there was no survey posted on the forums that I saw!

The survey was conducted on a representative sample of users, we simply cannot ask everyone.
With regards to the forums, they are a very small portion of the total number of the site visitors’ and forum users generally use the site in a specific way.

It would have been handy for me yesterday. I was in Kilkenny, Tipperary and limerick with about an hour I could spare, if I ate while driving.
I probably spent 20 minutes on the mobile site, picked a couple of numbers to phone while driving (hands free of course). And ending up getting not getting anybody.

This is a perfect example of the problem this new feature is design to help to solve.

Only comes handy if the girl is ready to pay more to have that feature, also let's say she activate it 12.45, get a call within few mins, so the ad will still show as available now, even she's busy, well of course it can be switched on, but getting read for short notice call, well she might forget it!
I personally can't see much benefit for any parties!

We are sure the girl will be happy at having spent €4 and got a booking within a few minutes, that is exactly what we hope will happen once you are “available now”.

[LuckyLu]

I'm sorry but it doesn't look discreet too me at all ! It's too much stress for girls !
Plus - now I have to keep logging in and out of the system - like a taxi driver turning on and off his taxi sign now? Because I have no idea how it works

Do get in touch. We have a dedicated customer service team, who can assist you 24hrs. You can reach us by phone, chat, e-mail. https://www.escort-ireland.com/contact.html
One of our customer service representatives will be happy to walk you through it.

Personally, I have no real interest in this feature.

No problem. This is not a “one fits all” solution, there are different types of users on the site and we are aware of it. This feature is available should you wish to use it.

Last few weeks have had pop up questions appear at the bottom of the screen, which I ignored. Couple of different questions, only one I remember was, '' Do you prefer to book escorts who participate in the forums? ''
Didn't reply, might be on the level or just encourage spam from non genuine escorts.

Yes, I saw a few of those pop up questions — I don't recall any asking if I was pissed off because escorts would not answer their phones though.

Saw those pop ups too. I considered them unwelcome and didn't reply.

Not sure how we should address those complaints in this case. We don't ask you - bad, we try to - even worse. Please don't complain about not being heard and then ignore the questions that provide you with a chance to voice your opinions.

I saw all of the questions !!
There were none about unanswered phone calls to escorts.
EI have pissed off the clients because some of the processes take a lot longer than before such as when searching you view an escort's profile and when you attempt to go back to the search results you have to start from the beginning.
Now they want to piss off the escorts.

Yep, you got us, that is exactly what we are trying to do here

Do you not think that if the new law comes in this system could be dangerous for clients and escorts? It will highlight to the guards who is available and when they then switch it off the "Available Now" graphic the guards will assume the escort has a client with her so they could then be waiting for him to leave!

Do you think the guards have the manpower for that?

I think I'll be just ignoring it, whether it's there or not.
I would figure the fact an escort is paying for an advert would indicate she is available and working within the times specified on her advert.
If she is not available/taking a day off, then she always has the option to remove her phone number from the ad.
For me it has always been very straight forward:Advertising=Available

If you would rather ring every escort to see who is free rather than have an icon that indicates you that is also fine.

That is the way I saw it! Is was very simple and I didn't have a problem with it over the last 4 years that I have been using it!

The feature it totally optional, please feel free to not to use the tickbox when searching.

Sometimes if you know they are coming, a PM a day or two ahead can be useful(the only time I have used PM's.)

As it is a great advice, not all punters plan so far ahead.

Pointless feature..... Check the page get a number,ring her and go meet...... SIMPLES!!!!!! A solution to a problem that never existed in the first place.

Sounds really easy. What happens if she is with a client? she probably will not answer... you then repeat the process 50 times?

You can't expect an escort to be able to answer her phone all day long - if they are with a client the phone won't be answered!
If you don't get an answer leave it for a bit and try later. Send a short concise txt and the chances are the lady will reply when she has time.

Not everyone is so forward thinking or is able to plan this far ahead. Some make decisions spontaneously, at a very short notice. We have to cater for all types of punter.
