Well Said Mike!
 
You have a good point.
 
Some clients just “jive” better with certain Escorts.
 
Mike and I simply hit it off from the beginning.
 
If I do not connect well with a client, I want to find ways of determining that better in the future and then move on in a peacefull manner.
 
My automated responses were designed to give clients a fast response when I am busy.
 
I am trying to avoid future confrontations with clients.
 
But this is a delicate matter that requires skillful and tactful responses.
 
I do not always have the luxury of time.
 
I believe that one of the biggest problem we face as Escorts is the cyclical nature of this business. It comes in waves and I think Clients don’t realize this.
 
For Example; most Escorts( if they are really being honest) go for weeks without receiving many calls and then suddely (when the moon aligns with the planets and the sun is in the seventh house or something ) we get TONS OF CALLS all at once. It comes in Waves. When the wave hits, it becomes impossible to respond to every inquiry.
 
Ideally we would all remain cool, calm and collective and give each inquiry careful thought and due dilligence, but we live in a realistic world and time is not always on our side.

Thank you all for your feedback.
 
This was a helpful discussion.
 
I am attempting to come up with a middle ground, because my concerns are valid.
 
I receive on average 10 inquiries per day.
 
Nine out of of those 10 inquiries are not serious.
 
I typically get one prank call every time I enter a new city.
 
The reason for my creating a security deposit policy was to avoid prank calls and last minute cancellations.
 
I wasted $50 on gas and tolls one night in New York City on a prank call.
 
I usually insist on a security deposit if the call seems sketchy OR if I am in a large city.
 
Orlando was all prank calls for me so I don’t even bother with Orlando anymore.
 
I usually do not require a security deposit if the client is requesting me within 90 minutes.
 
I always require a security deposit if the client calls and says I want to hiring you tonight. This is typically because I am a plan B for a flaky date. This type of client usually cancells last minute.
 
If you ask to call me on the phone and we speak about it, then I am more inclinded to drop the security deposit demand.
 
I also do not think I am asking too much be sending out my automated response.
 
 
“Thank you for responding to My Ad:
 
I am compensated for my time, and I accept donations only.
 
Please tell me the name you wish to be called, The City you are in and confirm that you are at least 18 years of age.”
 
I appreciate any feedback you might have on this.
 
Thank you all.

I appologize for the impersonal nature of the automated responses, but I send them for two major reasons.
 
1. limited time: I may not be able to respond personally due to the fact that I am a one man operations and do not have a way to answer the phone when I am busy working or at the gym. So the first reason is like an answering machine. It collects your information so I can call you back when I am able to.
 
 
2. Screaning: first automated response is designed to give me a quick reference to the type of call I am getting. I have tried to shorten this since the first time I used it. I actually have made 10 revisions and each revision gets smaller. This also screens out people who are drunk or not serious.

That is a valid concern.
 
 
Political views should not be injected into business advertisements.
 
 
However, the topic always comes up so I felt the need to clarify up front that I tend to be more on the conservative side.
 
 
The topic always comes up when I'm meeting people because it such a hot topic these days.
 
 
So instead of being two-faced or having to face a confrontation in person I thought it would be more appropriate to mention it in the ad. Unfortunately, I see that backfired.
 
 
I would also like to point out that because I am a Christian,I tend to be considered more conservative.
 
 
However, in my Christian circles, I tend to be labeled a liberal for obvious reasons.
 
 
I would label myself as a Liberal Christian and a Political Moderate. I also have many Post Modernist, New Evangelical and New Age Spiritual Views. As many of you know I study the book "A Course In Miracles".
 
 
As a Christian I cannot condone All of The Presidents behavior.
 
 
However, as a fiscal conservative, I saw no other alternative.
 
 
I personally support Most of the President's agenda. (key word: MOST).
 
 
However, When it comes to mistreating people of other races and religions I strongly protest his Agenda.
 
 
I am extremely open minded to people of a different race or religion.
 
 
As for my vote, I consider myself to be a pragmatist, so I believe in coming up with the most practical solution that is a balance between the most realistic and the most idealistic concerns of the time.
 
 
I also would not consider myself a Republican or a Democrat.
 
 
I believe in balance of power between the parties.
 
 
I did vote for Obama during the Previous Presidential election.
 
 
I admire President Obama's behavior more than any President I have seen in History, but I did not support everything his agenda stood for.
 
 
To make a long story short, I believe that The most pressing concerns of this next four years are unemployment, and the United States economy.
 
 
I studied Economics in College, and I keep up with the Economic News regularly.
 
 
This is why I chose to vote for the party that favored American nationalism at this point in time.
 
 
Having said that, I do believe that we need to embrace international globalization and more liberal policies too.
 
 
After eight years of liberal policy, I believe the pendulum needed to swing more right.
 
 
Like I said, I'm not a Republican or a Democrat.
 
 
So in four years, I may choose to vote for a more liberal president.
 
 
I have always considered myself to be a bisexual man.
 
 
I may choose to marry a male sometime in the future, so of course I backed gay marriage.
 
 
I also would like to point out that there were some influential Gay Republicans who helped push through Gay Marriage Legislation, and I think we owe them some gratitude.
 
 
Having said that, At this point in US History, I don't think we need more gay rights.
 
 
I am more concerned with Unemployment and GDP.
 
 
Like I said before, I believe the most pressing concerns are the United States are the economy and jobs.
 
 
That is simply my opinion, but I agree with you that they should not be put in a business advertisement.
 
 
So in the future, I will leave my political views out of my ad.
 
 
I would also ask that if you do meet me, and you do not agree with my political views, that you don't bring up the subject unless you enjoy intellectual debate (which I do).
 
 
I enjoy intellectual debate on the subject if you're capable of doing that without getting upset.
 
 
I might also add that some of my closest clients that I keep in touch with regularly are on the liberal side.
 
 
We often argue.. but in a peaceful manner

thank you. I appreciate your kind words. I also appolgize if I come across too abrasively. As a Christian, I am more conservative than most of the people I am surrounded by, but in my Christian circles I am actually known as a "liberal". I am not in favor of any one political party. I simply vo

I can rwspect

ohhh. thank you for clarifying. lol

You've got to work with what works best for you. Period. You are in a 100 percent commish environment, and time is money
I empathize with you. I sell real estate. I will give a lot more slack to a client who is a repeat or referred to me by a trusted client. A Joe blow who calls to look at one of my listings out of the blue, I give a lot less slack to. The 15 minute rule goes into effect. If they don't show, I'm a goner
 
I'll get flamed for this, but the discourse on republican can vs democrat, trump vs the lying bitch Hillary is ridiculous
 
We all put our pants on the same way. I've got lib friends and hard right friends. I'm not gonna talk to someone, or be with someone because we have different political views.
 
Get over yourselves. We are entitled to our opinions, and thank god we have a military and a constitution that guarantees we are allowed those opinions.

I can respect a conservative (even though I am not one) and hold many in high esteem. I cannot respect a Trump supporter. They are not the same thing.

I'm a card carrying Bernie/Elizabeth kind of liberal supporter, I'm not sure I agree with you on this. But that debate should be reserved for another forum.

I play bridge in my spare time. One of the things it has taught me is that everything has a plus and a minus. Each shortcut, has a drawback. Each advantage leaves a weakness somewhere else. That's true of business and this industry.
 
There are styles of responses and messaging that focuses on your clients needs, while still accomplishing your goals. Your automating the process and trying to find a one-size-fits-all, is costing you opportunities. You're screening out both the good and the bad.
 
Your methods are probably losing you business. Based on what I am hearing, your approach lost three or four different clients on your trip through South Florida, myself included. I ended up engaging someone else's services for an extended evening.
 

 
I would, respectfully, disagree. Clients aren't thinking they are talking to large corporations. Clients, for the most part, understand that they are dealing with individuals. There are plenty of flakes that think you are a walking porn site for them to get off to. But you shouldn't lump the good/potential clients in with the flakes.
 
And none of that means you can't run your business in a professional manner. There are MANY luxury entrepreneurs who are one man/woman shops.

That is a valid concern.

Hi Grayson. I'm the one who started this thread. Your political views wouldn't play a role in me wanting to meet with you. I did contact you, but decided not to meet because of the deposit. You're free to structure your ways however way you want. I've been wanting to meet you since about a year ago, but we couldn't get to a mutually agreeable arrangement, sadly.
 
I'm interested in politics, and that might have been something that we would have talked about. However, I was more excited about your interest in sci-fi (I remember you had that in your profile).

Thanks for clearing that up, nasty personal attacks are not my style!
Also I think Grayson Danielz is hot and attractive-my point was that if escorts start making politics part of their profile it will affect their client base to a greater or lesser degree. My dislike of Trump supporters has less to do with Republican/Democrat than it has to do with my intense dislike of him personally. Therefore if an escort were pushing his support of him it would rather take away the enjoyment of my session to put it mildly, Am interested to see with Grayson's response that it may not be the case after all

I appologize if I came across
in a negative way. How can I make it up to you?

you have a legit Question and I respect that

Another reason why we must love our enemies is that hate scars the soul and distorts the personality. Mindful that hate is an evil and dangerous force, we too often think of what it does to the person hated. This is understandable, for hate bring irreparable damage to its victims.

To be perfectly honest, I don't care about a guy's orientation. As long as we both have fun it doesn't matter to me. However, there are folks for whom a guy identifying or advertising as straight is a non-starter. My only "concern," if you will, is that the guy be forthright.

@GraysonDanielz, I appreciate your willingness to engage in respectful debate. I hope that doesn’t sound patronizing because I say that with admiration. We need more of that on both sides.

I respect your concerns. on the topic of Race and embracing other cultures I am extremely sensative to this myself at times having been practically raised by African Americans. I am also Half Native American. All my life I have understood the concerns and difficulties that minorities go through. I actually am very welcoming of all Ethnicities and races. But you don't have to take my word for it. I have many clients all over the country who come from many different racial and ethnic backgrounds.
