Compensation For No-Shows??

[drlove]

Well, I had an outcall appointment scheduled for 1:00pm with an independent today, and got stood up. She had sent me an e-mail the other day saying that the appointment was a go, and that she would call around noon to confirm. In all fairness, I didn't get the comfirmation call today but didn't think much of it since the SP is fairly reliable. However, 1:00 came and went. I tried calling her but got voicemail. I left a message asking her to call me - no response. I sent her a follow up e-mail - no response.

It irks me since I planned my schedule for today around the appointement, and the no show is a major inconvenience. I was wondering if Clients request, or the SP offers some form of compensation for situations as this. On the other hand, I'm already getting her special winter rate since business is a bit slow for her. Therefore, I don't want to complain too much but still... it's very aggravating!

You have a better chance of her giving you a discount for her missng the appointment then any lady does when she gets a no show. That much I know. Not nice, but does show you what some of these ladies must go though on a much more regular basis.

I guess it depends on the SP, and with no confirmation call and already getting a discounted rate, I think you should just try to re-schedule and not complain to much. That is just my opinion though.

True enough... In my e-mail I simply stated that we did have an appointment for today, and that she should have called to let me know that she couldn't make it. I said I wasn't happy about it. That was all.

Email seems more then fine to me. See if she offers something in return. Hopefully she replies professionally. It is annoying when it happens I know. However it is one of those "you can choose your battle" types of things as well. If she is professional, a great provider and you are already getting deal, just try again. If she completely ignores you, then move and maybe warn a few others to her behaviour.

Good luck.

It is best to have a plan B, plan C, and plan D in case of no shows. I've been there, and experienced your fustration before. My issue with outcall is that most ladies offer a sog for the 1hr session. Hence the reason I prefer incalls.

There's your mistake, she said she would call to confirm, unexpected things do come up, so if she didn't call, I would have concluded she wasn't available and not gone to see her. Has nothing to do if the SP is reliable or not, things beyond her control can happen.

The professional ladies I know do make it up for the guys when it's her fault.

How do you think the ladies feel when guys no show? This happens probably at least 100 times for every 1 lady no show. Talk about a waste of time and aggravation, the ladies have this in spades. I think the ladies should get some compensation for all those guys that no show but a lot of those guys just seem to vanish and have no guts to call the lady to apologize and make it up to her.

Still, she should have called me either way to let me know what the status was. If it was the other way around and something came up on my end, I would have given her a courtesy call so that she wouldn't waste her time coming all the way over for nothing.

Dude, if you got a good relationship with her and will not piss her off over your need for compensation or reason then go for it. If you want to see her again and have a good time, just let it go.

I've learned over the years that the women in this business are notoriously unreliable - but so are the clients. The "no show" issue works both ways. Ask any SP or MPA how many clients make appointments, confirm appointments, yet still fail to keep the appointment. It's rude and inconsiderate, and they have to put up with it day after day after day.

We, on the other hand, can do our research and make informed decisions about how likely it is for a provider to show up or not based on her track record. If a girl pulls this on you, do not automatically assume that she stood you up - often times there is a legit reason, and you will forever ruin any chance of a make-up.

IMHO a good provider will offer some sort of discount or accommodation for your inconvenience, even if it was something unavoidable. That is what separates the 5-star providers and agencies from the wannabes. They recognize that a small token gesture is worth keeping a good client happy.

If she replies back to you, hear her out and keep an open mind. If she ignores you, post it for the rest of the community. Its our only recourse against situations like this.

I always let my clients know what's going on. If I am running late (like tonight with the snow), I call and let them know, or if something comes up (like last week with the flu), I also call offer my apologies and reschedule.

Sometimes things do happen and you can't show up. So be it. It is common courtesy to let the client know.

Tonight, for example, a client for tomorrow called and said a family member passed away today, so he had to cancel the appointment until a later date. He took time from his family grief to let ME know! That's is above and beyond in my opinion. Courtesy...it's not that unusual a concept.

Maybe family showed up and is staying a week or a few days and she cannot get to her e-mails with them around. Don't get too worked up over it as of yet. If you do not get a confirmation when she says she will send one you should not show up either. It could be a huge inconvenience for her. You never know what could have came up on her end.

It was an outcall... she was coming to see me. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt for now. However, I'm still waiting for any kind of response on her part. That's the downside to indies... you're completely at their mercy. At least with an agency you get updates either way.

She could have called either way to let you know, but by not calling is was a sign that the date was called off. Any SP I know would not have come all the way to the appointment without a confirmation call from the client.
