Do you have a lot of back & forth with bookers?

[envelopes]

I usually am very simple with bookers. "8PM Amy ok?" "Yes". done. I was very easy to book

But recently... as I've used some agencies more and I notice some bookers are nicer than others, I also started to ask more for recommendations and other special requests.


I sometimes wonder if I am being a demanding/annoying client to bookers.

Do you guys communicate with the bookers a lot like this?

 

[benito113]

I think asking basic information or availability of specific services is fine.

I would not ask any questions that could be subjective to you or the SP.

That approach works for bookers. But, because I see the same thing as an indy, I would want to remind people, indies may not all approve of the same approach.. I know I write off and avoid anyone who contacts me with the same kind of point and fact attitude... I think everyone prefers being talked to as a person rather than like your ordering a pizza.

And your approach of kind of befriending the booker, may be a bonus over time. They are the person on the inside who knows the girls, and what kind of people they are, schedules they keep... ect.
Maybe "Amy" isn't available today but will be tomorrow. And can give you the heads up when to contact to ensure you get the appointment your looking for. You wouldn't get that extension of courtesy if your order the girls like ordering a pizza.

Yes, I should be more specific. I wouldn't book an indy this way. With agencies, they get so many texts that I try to keep it short and simple. (Well... at least I used to try to do that.)

I figured they would probably appreciate that. Maybe not? I don't know

Yes like I’ve mentioned here: https://merb.cc/xenforo/threads/how-to-introduce-yourself-like-a-pro.227251/

Go straight to the point. I know some people want to say stuff like “how are you?” “How’s your day going?” but it’s not necessary.

 

[runninggag123]

depends on the booker but generally I keep it short, polite, and business-like and always say thanks afterwards. a couple bookers have good rapport with the SPs on whose behalf they're booking and take pride/find gratification in having had a hand in a positive session, so I might ask those ones - when it's off-peak booking hours - one or two questions about an SPs favorite gift card or beverage (these messages are always preceded with "NON-URGENT"). some bookers have a much more personal touch than others and I'll respond in-kind to that (while still keeping messages brief).

there are edge cases, like non-standard bookings, where more back and forth is needed (e.g., a long meeting taking place across multiple locations).

I sometimes say "Hi how are you" but immediately jump to the point. If booker don't answer by "great", ignore that part or such i don't take offense as i know they get lots of booking. But it just seem "nicer" for me to say it.

For the indies tough i prefer to start by an email inquiring about a specific date. I contact in advance and i do ask question because i am (usually) talking to the person (or someone knowing her well) so i can be sure it is the experience im looking for.

Typically, when there is a lot of back and forth, you know you are knocking on the wrong door.

 

[Hemme]

I do. I ve been block once , and not for some weird stuff. Also one booker feigned to be harassed ( capital letters ) but at the end we re best buddies. I just don t like when the booker pretend to be the sp. I am an avid friend to LL and dealing with theirs bookers is quite entertaining and it need much tact to get through for both party.

Funny thing is when i text i always wonder if i m texting with a man or a woman

Bookers of today are very different from the bookers of years past. Years ago it was more of customer service or sales position. Now it’s essentially an order taker. Which is fine, but I do miss the days of chatting up Devilish and feeling like a person instead of ordering a pizza. But times have changed, and most of the info we used to speak about is readily available so it’s more about a the changing of the times IMHO.

Yes this is what I mean.

I notice bookers used to make a lot of conversation, ask me how the session went after, even ask about how my drive in to Montreal was. Sometimes they tell me how business has been, which SPs are must-see, just small talk

Lately I only do this with 2 bookers since I have known them for many years, but even they seem too overwhelmed to converse so I try not to anymore

 

[hob12]

I keep it short and polite. I say thanks and good evening a lot.

When I used to deal with agencies, I had my bookings done within 2-3 messages. But the funny thing is, whenever the booker realized I'm AirBo, then we exchanged more texts, making fun of my crazy online persona. Some bookers do have a great sense of humour lol

 

[patrickcun]

Generaly with my "daccord merci", 3

How would they know that you are AirBo? Do you send them a list of girls and ask them to choose one for you?

Agencies are very good with figuring out who you are! I purposely keep my merb handle a secret but most agencies still figured out who I was from my SP reviews

 

[hob12]

Well, that's because you didn't take enough precautions not to give enough details to identify you.

I always keep my reviews relatively generic and I try to post them at least 2 weeks after my encounter.
