How to get your clients to post reviews?

[+ MasssageGuy]

When considering a bevy of therapists, I do read reviews from other clients. They give you a feel for the energy and approach the therapist uses during their sessions. I also read what the therapist says about why they do what they do and their approach. I also try providers who don't or haven't had reviews yet.

I do write reviews for guys who provide exceptional service. I provide them a copy before posting to ensure that nothing will jeopardize their practice.

 

I do think that the recent censorship by websites like MF.com and reviews being heavily redacted may make reviews less meaningful.

[LADoug1]

I think the time to politely ask for a review is after the second session with a client assuming the sessions were great. One great experience doesn't necessarily merit a review. Consistency does.

 

BTW, I had the opposite experience with an escort. The session was so not to my liking that I stopped it in the middle and said I had to go and paid him. It was just a very bad fit with no chemistry for me. The escort was very disturbed and wanted to know why I was unhappy. He called and texted. I explained why but he was still quite bothered. I finally had to assure him that I WOULDN'T write a negative review since it wasn't anyone's fault. That seemed to placate him.

Keith, come to LA and Ill write a review!

 

I have to admit I wrote my first 2 reviews just a couple weeks ago. I like others have said am a fairly private person. I really take the reviews with a grain of salt. They have become very bland and you really can't give too much detail so what is the review really telling you? Also the review is really that individual's perspective. This has been talked about at length on other threads. My definition of a great kisser is very different from what somebody else may think is good.

 

That said, after becoming more involved in this site, I realized I should post some reviews especially on guys that don't have any/many that I found to be good.

 

I won't write a bad review but if asked privately, I will give honest feedback about my experience. I will also give more detail on a private basis. My reviews have been really a confirmation of who they are, pics, stats etc, and if i had a good time.

 

As others have said I think being active and professional on here will probably get you more business than anything.

I will work on that LA visit!!!

I like your recent pic additions to your rentmen ad. Looking good there, stud!

[nynakedtop]

As a client, I like to offer to write a review in order to show my appreciation for a good session - it's a nice and easy gesture on my part that shows that a good guy deserves tangible recognition beyond a handful of cash and a nice smile. I post reviews on yelp for both good and bad service, and so I post reviews on sites for this line of business as well. (Although I now have severe second thoughts given the fact that my less than positive reviews have been deleted from some sites.... buyers beware!)

 

On a related note - I also really appreciate it when a masseur/escort sends ME a follow-up note... or notes... it often makes the difference whether or not I return fort additional session(s)

Hey Men,

 

I am wondering if anyone could give me some ideas on how to get clients to post reviews, many times I get a nice email following a meeting about how fantastic of a time they had and one with many compliments. Many of these could be cut and pasted to a review they are so well written. I have mentioned posting reviews, and even told guys I would greatly appreciate if you could post a review for me. I sometimes get response, such as sure thing or I will but many times it goes ignored and no reviews posted. I have been told on occasion sorry I don't post reviews. I would just like some ideas, if there are any in getting reviews posted. I think the ultimate compliment for an escort is having a client write a nice review about you!

I always post reviews now, although I have slowed down on my hiring for a while. I think we owe both the escort and our community reviews. It helps the escort when he gets positive reviews, and a negative review prevents us from wasting our money, and hopefully forces bad escorts out of the business.

[Jock123]

lol you know a client had a great time when he keeps calling and texting you. The ones that love you always come back for more. Sometimes I feel they are being a little protective and want to keep you all to themselves by not submitting reviews.

 

 

AGREED!

[Brian Kevin]

I mean I've never really asked someone for a review until I stumbled on this site and saw many of you saying that you dont hire someone that has no reviews on their site. So maybe more reviews= more business

 

Usually I meet a guy and when the session is finished he texts/emails me saying how nice it was, or I write him a little message thanking him

 

 

That's all not true!

 

I went from no reviews and no forum member clients for 3-4 months to having a couple repeat clients. Back to back first and second reviews. I ponder if there are more in the works. I have only ever asked one client to post a review, it can be seen on the massagem4m ad. (I posted that I left the site but they offered me 90$/90days. Needdless to say I came back for 90 days.)

 

I honestly feel uncomfortable asking for a review. Actually, better yet-- I hate asking for anything from a client. The one thing I can assure you to get reviewed would be push the boundaries of what you offer. My trade mark is starting to become this upscale bodywork I've mastered after years of being an LMT. Facials. Sugar scrubs. Time, attention to detail and being the most confident man you can during the sessions. Pay attention to tempature of the room, cleanliness. Also remember you can never remake a first impression. Grow yourself a strong back bone so no one can walk all over you either.

 

I have faith you will do well. Good luck

 

The fallow up text, phone call or email is a wonderful guide to

[gallahadesquire]

For all you non-reviewers:

 

When I hire, I want to know that I'll be compatible in conversation. What are the escort's social skills?

I'll find out on my own if he kisses or not. Beyond that, I understand privacy. I'm interested in how involved the escort was. That kind of arena. [Where is my venn diagram when I need it?]

 

So that's what I look for in a review. My two cents.

Something similar happened to me with a guy I hired from m4m4rn, he begged me no to publish a bad review and he seemed really relieved when I told him I wouldn't.

I think allot of the ideas on generating positive reviews which others have expressed are similar to those in Raving Fans.

It's a fad business book but the basic ideas are sound in getting your customers to tell others how wonderful and desirable you are.

 

I suspect that the new guys who really care about how they are perceived and in it for the long run may be able to get some ideas.

As others have said I think being active and professional on here will probably get you more business than anything.

 

It is possibly because of my location, but I have to say that a very small portion of my work (that I know of) comes from participating in the board. Or at least, a very small portion of my work comes from active posters here.

 

There is possibly a lot more people reading than writing, but I agree that it is really important that you -at all times- behave in a professional, non-emotional, non-confrontational manner. It is perfectly okay to disagree with people and it is even better to clearly share your point of view on things, as long as you do it with intelligence and kindness.

 

We have seen throughout the years escorts who came here, got all reactive, childish, aggressive and mean, just to have a melt down after realizing they shot themselves ion the foot. Some of those escorts had the blessing of creating a new persona and had a second chance to present themselves better, but if you are showing your face, you will not get a second chance once you make a mess of your public persona.

 

So keep participating, be polite and thoughtful, but be yourself. We can all see through the "yes men". Some might like that, but I am sure most people prefer a true, honest human being.

[Mark Alexander]

"Hey <client>, I really enjoyed our time together Tuesday - you're a really <something complimentary that you really believe> guy. I hope that we get the chance to meet again soon. If you feel comfortable it would really mean allot to me if you would take a couple of minutes and anonymously jot a couple of your thoughts about our time together at http://www.daddysreviews.com/submit. I hope you have a great weekend! "

 

Good one! Well said. I might use this verbatim.

[Maximus69]

Just got my first review woohoo

 

Luckily he asked after we met if I wanted a review, if he didnt I probably wouldn't have asked.

[+ José Soplanucas]

And you are Dominiking at Rentmen! Double congrats.

[rvwnsd]

...Some clients also think because you have no reviews you must not be worth it......this has been said to me by someone who contacted me, whom I know hires often.

 

This "client"'s commentary is trash.

 

jawjateck, I agree with you. However, Forum member after Forum member has said they advise against hiring guys who are not reviewed and will not do so themselves.

 

For all you non-reviewers:

 

When I hire, I want to know that I'll be compatible in conversation. What are the escort's social skills?

I'll find out on my own if he kisses or not. Beyond that, I understand privacy. I'm interested in how involved the escort was. That kind of arena. [Where is my venn diagram when I need it?]

Keith,

 

In answer to your original question, a few escorts have asked me to write reviews. Each one asked via email and said something to the effect of "I hope you had a great time. It would mean a lot to me if you would write a review of me. I understand you are busy, so no hard feelings if you don't."

 

On two occasions, I was too swamped and intellectually exhausted from work to write a review and I told them so. I will definitely write a review the next time I hire them, as I enjoy them both and want to tell others about my wonderful experiences with them. On the other occasions I was happy to write a review and did.

[MsGuy]

Keith,

 

You will learn that there are two schools of thought here.

 

Actually there is a third school of thought.

You could always create a second account here and submit a review of yourself.

Tru dat.

[LADoug1]

What if you have a great time with an escort and write a positive review but subsequently have a terrible experience with the same escort. Do you/Can you write a negative review?

[MikeyGMin]

Absolutely. I would acknowledge the first review and point out what had changed.

You can write a review of an escort you previously reviewed. Per the FAQs:

[/url]

"May I submit a 2nd review for an escort?

Yes, as long as the new session is 6 months or more from the previous session. We strongly suggest that you mention this in the review so that It won't delay the review."

 

If your second session is within the six month window quoted above, I would suggest writing to Daddy, explaining the situation, and asking if you could submit the second review despite the less-than-six months time lag.

Not if you want to keep your first account. Or any credibility with management when a bad review comes in.

I know I'm late to the party on this thread, so I sort of rushed through reading the many posts. I apologize if I missed comments pertaining to my ultimate question/comment (and, to be clear from the get go, it's merely a curiosity, not an indictment).

 

I have most often been asked in a followup to a thank-you note.

 

The only escort to ever ask for a review didn't do so until we had post meeting communication. I returned home to a text from him thanking me. I responded in kind, thanking him. Details not important. Only then did he say if I cared to, a review would be appreciated. I said sure.

 

The reviews help and help with obtaining the new clients.

 

It was several weeks later before I actually submitted the review, and after it was published, I emailed him to let him know. He thanked me for doing so, as he said it really helps his business.

 

Now, I'm not sure all clients who submit reviews, let escorts know they have done so. And, I would be remiss in not saying the primary purpose of the review process herein is to give back to the community of those who post and care enough about each other to relate their experiences. Given that I may have just answered my own question, I'm curious to know, if escorts see a review, and from the information contained, you can reasonably know who submitted it, do you in any way acknowledge it to the client?
