Economy Bad, Escort Business Sense Worse

Importance of Replying to Emails

 

I agree that it is unprofessional not to reply promptly & fully to email enquiries. Emailing has become the prefered method of initial contact for clients in North America & escorts have to react to this preference. In London UK, where I was living until recently, most clients make contact by phone or Gaydar messages. Since coming to Toronto, I've adapted to the preference for emails by checking & responding to them throughout the day. It is becoming apparent to me that it will be in my best interests to get a Blackberry or some other mobile device with email capabilities. A lot of my clients here are guys visiting from out of town on buisness & I can understand them wanting to make arrangements in advance without spending a lot on long-distance phone charges. Some emails are a waste of time, but enough are genuine that I take them seriously. However, I never consider a booking to be solid until it has been confirmed by phone/text.

I'm going to be in LA from Thursday and thought I'd hire a nice guy for some fun on an extended date. Searching online, I identified 12 men that interest me.

 

On Saturday evening I sent my usual brief and polite email to them. In that message, I describe myself fairly (and offer to send my clear photos). I also mention what I enjoy doing, where I'll be based and enquire as to availability for an afternoon or evening date. (I prefer an extended date to check the guy before arranging an overnight stay).

 

And, just to vent for a moment, it's now 48 hours later....and I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ONE RESPONSE.

 

Are the guys in LA just so spoilt or lacking in business sense that they cannot be bothered even to respond with 'Sorry I'm busy'? Or is the prospect of earning their published rate (ranging from $200 to $300 an hour) for some time with a fit, middle-aged guy simply unexciting?

 

(And just to answer the possible query: my interests are mainstream and rather vanilla, and I wrote to guys who are compatible according to their online ad)

 

Hi (responding late here LOL) but although I seen you did recieved replies a couple days later, I have to say explaining exactly what you want (without being overly explicit) and a date/time frame you'll be in town and then following up that week rather than asking what I'm into usually gets me responding. I get emails asking stuff like, "so tell me more about your services, what can I expect, what do you like to get into" turn out to be timewasters and get ignored or told off, like the guy telling me he'd "pay me any amount". Yeah right.

 

Also you say you sent on a Saturday evening, chances are with me I wouldnt answer back til atleast the next afternoon...Then you have Mondays and Tuedays which are so slow some people like myself take off those days unless something is definente.

 

Some dont answer emails at all, but I cant support a reason to not answer them. I actually rather get an email some days than a text message. But emails take longer to asnwer so its ok for an advanced booking. I just have this thing where I treat all email and phone calls as genuine as I cant always tell who's making an actual booking or not.
