fuji it sounds to me like you are just out harassing sp's on the phone, the whole interrogation thing 'describe yourself' is very off putting and confrontational to an sp with photos and description online....and oh so pre-internet...If that's how you come across to sp's on the phone I am sure you get the dial tone a lot.
etiquette when calling an SP
- Thread starter Miss Maya Blue
- Start date
Nope. I'm not confrontational. Do not try and colour it that way. You don't know what you are talking about as I've never spoken with you. I am generally looking at the website and the photos when I ask for a description but the SP wouldn't know that, all she knows is a friendly sounding person has asked a question.Fabulous said:
If I find out that she is lying I simply politely say goodbye, I'm never confrontational at any moment. My goal is to save my time, not be an asshole to anyone.
Besides, I am hoping that it will all sound good, in which case in probably an hour I'm hopefully going to be spending some time with this SP. Why would I want to ruin the session by being an asshole on the phone???
Averge length of time I spend on the phone with a promising sounding SP is about two minutes. If you don't have time to spend a minute or two answering my friendly questions then you're the confrontational one and I don't want to give my business to anyone like that.
The thing is you are running a business and you expect every call to conform to your standards. That really isn't how business operates. You can get really cheap phone from Virgin Mobil which cost almost nothing by the way.Miss Maya Blue said:
I remember Alise's(sp) thread about using a private line for business. When she retired a guy kept calling. Her warning was not to use a personal line for business which seems to make sense to everyone at the time.
Who cares if they lie or not tell you everything. A SP once told me she's been in Toronto for 3 years, I ask her where she was before that. She did not say anything and we then talked about something else.
You are not marrying them for petes sake, if she say's or post that shes 22 and you get over there or she comes to you and looks like 30, you can back out of it--whats shes going to do ? You just be on her "no good list" but so what if shes not for you.
Just tell her you look older than I thought you be, I am sorry but I don't think you are right for me. But that might take some guts to say that to her face, maybe for some its easier to ask her a million questions over the phone.

That's easy for you to say. Holy crap, I looked at your pictures and I experienced instant wet daydreams. 36 J's ....lusciouslin33 said:

Oh, btw, can you describe yourself?
I read your website a while back, Keep the site, you will be surprised on how many people check your site, Also, Include your website URL in all of your craigslist ads, it gives you way more credability. Imagine if you were one of these turkeys from out of town, come across your ad on craigslist and go to your website, he would call you, over let's say, "$80 Special ad" any day. It just seems like you care more about the customer in a way... If you have a website. Anyways, that's all I have to say about that.JessiMae said:

Miss Mya Blue, if you receive a call when the timing is inconvenient for you, would you offer or consider taking the caller's number, so you could return their call? Some callers would be OK with that; for others it might be awkward. If so, what would be a reasonable amount of time for a reply to be expected? Perhaps fifteen minutes, half an hour, whenever, or would you not do this sort of thing at all? This may apply more to the SPs who don't list the requested information on their websites, so I'm looking for your opinion, as well as what you think would be the other ladies' preferences. Help us out here. We aren't mind readers. Etiquette must first be learned before it can be applied.
A very nice, classy response Becky. Sounds like you've a good head on your shoulders.Hiding said:Not to disagree with all the other lovely ladies on here... but I'd rather answer a couple repetitive questions about myself and reassure a client as to what I am (and am not!) than have him disappointed in any way.

To my reading, Fuji didn't say anything confrontational or aggressive in his post - so I'm a bit put off by the aggressive responses of some of the other ladies. I understand that the ladies can be extremely bothered and even pissed off by idiot/prank callers, but that's no reason to put all callers into that category. Like Becky said, a couple polite, respectful minutes (assuming the guy is polite and respectful) on the phone will reassure the potential client that he's getting what he expects, and will also allow the ladies to assess the particular client, in case you would prefer to not see him, based on his phone manners. Snarky, cranky wives and girlfriends are the reason a lot of guys see SP's, so when the SP's start acting like its all about them, we've got no where else to turn!!! Answer a couple questions if they're respectfully posed, and if they're not, then dump the client.
For me, probably 90% of my calls to SP's are straight to the point - I've done my homework and I want to spend some time with a particular lady, so let's set up an appointment. But the other 10% of the time, I'm very interested but need to clarify some details before I'll commit. If the lady can't be bothered to answer one or two simple questions, I'll take my money elsewhere. But come on.............we're not enemies here!! Let's be nice to each other and enjoy this stuff.
Apparently your time is less valuable than mine. My goal in calling is to spend an extra minute asking one or two questions that will help me avoid wasting an hour like that. Yes, wasting an hour, getting there, getting back, all to walk out because she was lying.S.C. Joe said:

im happy to call someone back if it suits them.
But more likely, if i cannot answer questions at the time of the call, I just ask the caller to call me back in a few minutes. This lets me move somewhere private where I can talk.
