Makes sense! Didn't know that it can cause serious problems for agencies.
Thank you for clearing that up! Do you think Clubs can provide that info if I reach out? I had no issue communicating with Independent providers, got hardly any response from MAs.
I’m just speaking from my own knowledge and experience as an independent but with colleagues who work or worked as MAs, hybrids or FS providers at spa locations:
- some may not offer extras or not at the spa itself
- some may not want to decide what they will offer you over text, preferring to meet first
- some may not have time to deal with incoming messages, one of the advantages of working at an spa is that you don’t necessarily have to put in as much administrative work afterall and the starting price point for a basic service is low
- you may not be using their preferred method of contact
- some may already be busy with regulars
- your inquiry may be lacking, too laborious or not interesting to the provider
If you’re not getting any response whatsoever, it’s best to change your approach or move on to someone else or another pool of SWs to find the appropriate fit. Sometimes you need to dip your toe in by booking a basic service and finding out what a session is like through experience, but once you have established an initial contact and rapport, future dates and more specific requests including extra services come easier.
