How many text messages does it take to book?

[50 Shades Raven 31380]

Anyone else experiencing over 100 texts in one day for someone to book?

 

It surprises me that with all the info on my profile, some are asking me my age, what services I provide, what my rates are.

Seems pretty straightforward to me, look at my profile, choose your service and then ask me when I'm available (my complete schedule is on my profile too!)

 

Perhaps I may need to tweek my profile a bit, but lots have said to me its easy to read and understand.

 

I would love some feedback and any advice to make it more 'user friendly', any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

 

I really like this site and the sense of community I feel being on it.

Hi Red Headed Raven

Some of us do read your websites, so I would say two texts to set up the

Appointment followed by a confirmation the day of the appointment either by phone or text your choice then a text from you for an address or hotel number, this system has worked really good for me this past year.

All I can say be patient hopefully others will read your post and actually do what you ask!!!

I don't think there is anything more you need to do because it's not about what you're not doing it's what they're( the perspective clients) not doing correctly. There are some guys that just don't bother to read anything, they just look at pictures then call and when they call they'll ask you every question that is answered on your site or profile page. There are also guys that no matter how much you put in print they'll read it then do as they please. Then there are those guys:) we all love who just do everything right. They follow our booking protocols and requests to a T. Just ignore most of the time wasters and tire kickers and eventually you'll gain your following, it just takes time and some days a lot of patience. Best of luck:)

 

If I may-I would suggest you add the www. to your web address at the bottom as the link to your site doesn't work for me, unless I'm doing something wrong, if so my apologies.

I feel your pain - some seem to send text after text with no end in sight!

 

I try to follow the 3 emails - 3 text message - 3 phone call rule. Anything more then that - I find tiresome. Not the nicest way to start a relationship.

 

I have templates on my phone for the common questions. Quick and easy reply. However, if they continue asking questions that I have already posted on my website or profile - I direct them back to those sites. I'm far to busy to be answering endless questions that are already posted.

100 texts ... OMG! I visited your profile and all the info I would need is there. So it certainly is not you.

 

A couple of PMs should suffice.

I think Christy hit the nail on the head when she said the problem is the the potential client's end. It's not hard to find such basic information if one is willing to just open their eyes and turn their head slightly towards the monitor.

 

It's obviously up to you how much time/effort you want to put into fellows that don't seem willing to put any time/effort in themselves. If you don't want to ignore them completely, you might consider setting up a standard, pre-made text reply that includes either basic information or simply a link to your website.

 

That way instead of having to retype out lengthy messages numerous times a day, you can just quickly send the pre-made reply and move on with your day. Anyone who was at all serious would hopefully take the hint, read your site, and reply back.

I think you will find a few "tire-kickers" who get some sort of joy out of texting with a lovely lady with no intention of booking.

Three texts is enough for me, and one when I'm on my way to confirm/get exact address or room data.

[Johnny Canuck 5347]

I personally try to keep them to an absolute minimum for the most part, but usually I say 3is a nice round number and not overwhelming to any party.

[fortunateone 156618]

Even tho everything may be on your website, you may find many contact you asking the same things. If many of those things are not in your ads for example, it might be a sign that more info is needed in the actual ad. Not everyone is able to go from an ad over to a website.

 

The 2nd thing that happens when you get a lot of questions is simply that the person read the ad, and possibly the website, but they did it a few hours or even a couple of days ago. They wrote down the # to contact you because that all looked agreeable to them, but they don't remember much about the ad itself. They may have 3 to 6 different numbers. When they contact you, it is then part of your marketing job to remind them why they wrote down the number, even if it means repeating yourself.

 

 

This is why i am a phone call only, no email no texting person. You can do all that in 1 minute or less, rates/description/location/services/restrictions, and no typing, no back and forth email/text questions, just one shot and done.

 

Basically you can choose to be annoyed by their interest in spite of the info being available, or you can seize the day and make it your mission to remind them why they were attracted to your ad in the first place. Because they probably will, out of those 6 #s they wrote down, encounter at least 3 sps who are going to bark at them 'Can't you read my ad before calling???!!!!" and hang up on them lol

 

 

Also, and also very important, the phone call is to confirm what they saw in the ad or site (which isn't necessarily written by the person they are contacting). if your conversation contradicts anything in the ad or site, they will be on alert seeing that as a red flag.

Yes, it can be very frustrating to say the least!

For me, if they are over txting I simply say " call me for the details, this is too much txt" ...if they refuse to call then I will suspect they are a joke. Like, why are you hiding behind txt? Besides, with me they have to voice call to book the apt anyways, so might as well call me, get the info you need and book or don't.

I have refused many because of this. I figure if they can not be a gentlemen enough to read my profile or site, or at very least call when I ask them to, not to sure I want to book them. I am not interested in someone who become a pain in the ass. It is a simple request.

Forrest Gump has an appropriate quote for those who won't look at profiles or other instructions from SP's "Stupid is as stupid does" (I think he took that one from his mom as I recall).

you don't have to go as far as tire kickers texting there in the chatroom either looking at a free cam show or trying to get girls to talk dirty to them but they never go see them

[kmwq 5477]

Yup, your profile is perfectly clear. I love the dominate tone to the message and almost called while reading. By-the-way, how much for a HH anal... Sorry had to do it, you can spank me when we meet.

[Nicolette Vaughn 294340]

It can be frustrating but I have booked many appts by text and they liked the way I sounded through that conversation. They booked right away and then I made sure they called to confirm. Sometimes people want to have a sense of who the SP through a real life back and forth exchange. Same thing by talking on the phone. I would say it takes about 5 texts to securely book an appt.

 

I've had people ask where I'm located. I tell them and then they say it's too far. It was in the title of the ad!! That is a clear cut case of when an SP gets annoyed. Then they try to make you feel guilty about it. lol. With those types of guys, I cut them off quick.

 

I don't like email exchanges and never have. To me, it's a waste of time because ultimately I'm going to need to speak to them by phone. At least with texting, it's real time and don't have to wait around for a response. Most texters text because they want a quick response which is what I offer.

 

I don't mind answering questions but if the exchange seems never ending is when I tend to get annoyed. One person said to me the other day that they love to chat. I told them that's great but I only text to book appts and if they're interested, great but I don't have time to chat all day. I have to do it in a diplomatic way instead of not sounding rude even if I want to rip my hair out at the time. lol. He got the message.

 

You can tell within a matter of minutes when someone begins to be a pain in the ass. I try to give as much info up front with a standard text I have saved in my phone. If it's one liners one after another with "Do you do this?" Next text, "Do you do that?". It's all included in that standard text and if they start up with that, I tell them I have to go.

 

In fact, answering questions and giving info is a large part of my daily routine as long as the conversation is on the straight and narrow. It it diverts into an attempt for sexting then I cut them off. Texting pretty much takes up a lot of my time other than seeing clients but I don't mind because I'm building a rapport with people and when you are selling your services, people begin to form their opinion of you. So how you come off sounding is very important.

This question is much like "How many licks to get to the center of of a tootsie pop?".

 

 

It depends on the licker!

 

A newbie will likely have many more questions than someone that knows the ropes, and calling can be a bit intimidating for some.

 

Suite Escapes has the right idea, after a few back & forth messages say something like "You've asked a lot of great questions and I'm sure you have a few more, it would be much faster if you could give me a call, plus you'll get to hear my sexy voice".

[Katherine of Halifax 113932]

Some are just so lazy that they won't even take the time to learn a thing about us. Makes me wonder why they don't just stay home and watch porn.

 

I feel your pain - some seem to send text after text with no end in sight!

I follow the 69 rule. It is a nice comfy number

 

No less, no more. 69 that's it.

 

If I sext you 70 times. I expect a good spankin.

[EmilyRushton 253356]

This is the reason I don't publish a number, you have to email. I don't like text messages unless they are from someone I know and even then I am not a fan of excessive messaging.

 

Texters who are serial texters could call, but they don't as 90% of the time they are not serious to book at all.

 

Think of a text like an email, if by the second one, you have not learnt anything about the man wanting to book, drop it like a hot potato and move on. If he is serious he will rethink his approach.

[roamingguy 300292]

I've been fortunate that the ladies I see prefer email contact. In just a couple cases did the lady want a follow up phone call. I followed up first by an email asking when is a good time to call plus when letting her know my good time for me to call her (once because people were over, I couldn't call for two days...didn't want her to think I forgot about her) Always in the back of my mind is the thought that my call could take place when the lady has people around and sometimes, although single, I do have people around to, so I want the call to be private and discrete

I primarily use text only to contact the lady to let her know my hotel room number. But I'm not a tire kicker texter LOL, nor for that matter a tire kicker to begin with

A rambling
