No show idea

[antlerman]

I think a simple solution for a now show or late cancellations could go like with simple posting of very basic info.

Terb name or simple first name........no more than that

Then reason:
- simple No-Show
- Cancellation with amount of notification time by by e-mail or call
- any basic information on how you were first contacted.....phone or e-mail.

There should be no mud slinging or rants with the post....just keep it simple.

That way there might be some sort of list that people could look search to see if the person is a regular or a newbie or has a repeat problem.

No shows and Cancellations

I have been following this discussion on No shows and cancellations for awhile now. In this business, and from my own experience is, you take your chances in regards to the client arriving or not, especially new clients. I have travelled over the years to many cities in Canada, US and Europe and I have found that the no-show/cancellation factor is relatively minor.

I would see no reason to post a name list of first names (especially considering, its seems at the present, I have over 50 valued clients with the name 'Steve' LOL).

As for posting TERB handles, I see no value in that either. Many of the terbites that I have met are very kind, pleasant Gentleman and Ladies and also many are not like their TERB persona at all. Further they can change their TERB handle almost as quickly as I can change outfits! LOL. Same with e-mail addresses.

I know many professionals (in the business world, lawyers, doctors, accountant, consultants, etc) and they have similar problems with client missing appointments etc. Fortunately for them, they have a mechanism to invoice such clients if they desire to do so. We, as Sps do not easily have the same ability.

I know when I tour, I alway try to advance book enough appointments to cover my expenses by 1.5 times the expenses. That way, I feel comfortable in the fact that, if I get no more appointments and allowing for cancellations/no shows, I should be ok (maybe not making any money but at least not losing). If I end up breaking even on one trip or another, there will always be others and in some cases where the trip was not profitable at least I had a great time with the people I saw and had alot of fun having sex. As I love sex, the odd trip where I do not make a profit is ok as long as you guys can make me cum a few times, the trip will still be worth it!!!!! And for the guys that know me, you know this to be true.

Nice...very nice

Again here is a lady who knows her business and looks like she enjoys herself.
Well I am thankful for the reply as it was just and idea I thought worth looking at.......

Looks like a week for indoor fun as Hurricane Rita flys overhead all next week.

NO Shows

I agree with Stacy. It is just part of business and it happens everywhere. Yes it is a pain but we deal with it.

As for all the guys who book appointments, show up on time and are respectful. Thank you for making this a great job.

Stacey is absolutely right as the no-show list can easily be defeated. Besides, I thought (according to Jas) that a lot of Maddison's fake bookings and no-shows were caused by hornydog too. Hopefully, things won't be as bad going forward now that hornydog is exposed and under police investigation.

This thought has also caused my mind. Maybe some of these fake bookings are done by some local jealous competition that don't want all these great out of town ladies to ever return. Who knows. Each visiting SP/MP just needs to have their own strategy in accepting first time clients. In the US, some SPs (especialy the high quality ones and their high price aside) make me go through hoops to get a first time appointment. I don't think we are all to blame for the no-shows. The ladies need to be more diligent too in how they accept first time clients.

Just a thought

Hmmmm, just a thought to throw around. Might there be any interest in the ladies getting together to form some kind of escrow "clearing house" for no shows/cancellations?

What I'm thinking is, asking the client to pay a deposit of say $20-$50 dollars to this escrow account (pay-pal or cc or mo). In the event of a no-show or late cancellation without a reasonable explanation, the deposit is forfeit to the SP. For regulars or guys she trusts, she can wave the deposit.

Now a $20 deposit isn't going to compensate the SP for the time loss, but it should eliminate the guys who book never intending to show - I mean why throw away $20? But having said that, I don't think the SPs should be to inflexible on this. Stuff happens. Guys may missing apointments for legitimate and unavoidable reasons; just as the ladies may miss appointments.

Just an idea I thought I'd toss out for discussion.

Oh, and for "frequent flyers", what about an account where they could mail a money order for say $100-$200; and then call in whenever they need to assign a deposit for an apointment.

 

[antlerman]

Thought of that

Thought of that and was discussed recently......issue is the account could be trublesum for the provider if some one does make any type of copmlaint.

Alot of work also.......

Oh, missed the other discussion. Yes, it would be a lot of work so it would have to be set-up as a seperate enterpise that would get paid for it and cover a fairly large geographical area.

the question makes no sense?

clarification

The no show is not a good idea.
I was wondering if there is any way to help protect or prevent the ladies from these people that book and do not show up.
If you look into madison's postings you will see that she has almost wasted this trip and is frustrated with what has happened.

Antlerman explained the question in the very first post on this thread.
