Why some clients can't figure it out and escort's location?

[marylander1940]

I don't understand when someone posts his location in capital letters, the dates he'll be there and his travelling cities, why folks contact him thinking he is somewhere else?

Example:

NEW ORLEANS till Sunday July 30th! 

Charlotte August 3rd to 6th

And people keep asking him if he is in Charlotte now. What's going on that so many clients potential simply can't /won't read dates or city names even if they are on capital letters. It can't be meth or ADHD!

I think some people expect to be one step ahead of the game, if they skip over an escort’s ad writing, and just contact outright. It must be a belief that’ll get what they want faster than just taking 1 to 2 minutes to scroll thru and read the ad…

But it’s not ideal if they have to ask right from the bat if they’re in town, or can they meet today despite it showing dates.

I have had encounters where RM ads not updated (ie provider not yet in the country but ads shows otherwise) or the provider changes his travel plan but fails to update his ads. So i typically ask for confirmation if i feel travel dates not add up. If i were to be met with annoyance in response, well i will bring my business elsewhere. Just not meant to be. Though some providers might not respond right away and only responded when they are actually in tow, i have not yet got rude response.

I’ve had many instances where the posted escort locations didnt match reality so I never totally trust what’s printed. This is especially true when escorts have an agenda with 5 or more serial locations. It’s easy to get thrown off schedule especially if you’re flying

Especially if you’re driving even moreso lol…the flexibility is great, but sometimes it may 🤔  some clients.

I may decide to stay in a city longer or shorter than posted. That’s why lately, I’ve kinda stopped planning trips so far out anymore. Only if I’m planning to be heading there that week. But right now I’m eyeing some destinations to travel in August, and haven’t posted anything except my local area. It helps to get some visibility ahead of time, but most of the inquires are going to think you’re there. Or they won’t be when I get there. 
 

And nothing pains more when the area you’re in is dead, but the area you’re traveling to next month is all your inquiries for the week 🤦🏾‍♂️

I’m always in London. Always. I never visit other cities (for work at least). There’s no need…London has enough clients to keep me busy. My website says I’m in London, my RentMasseur says I’m in London, my other adverts say I’m in London yet….I still get clients saying “can I book an hour this evening, I’m on 21st and 3rd downtown” or whatever (sorry I’m not good on generic US addresses!). Somehow they think I’m in their town. When I realise they’re not local to me I tell them I’m in London and they seem surprised! 

To be fair I do think that sometimes my number has been picked up by a website that ‘collects’ sex worker numbers to make it look like a lot of people advertise on there. It could be that but my number is clearly a UK number so I still find it funny they think I’m round the corner… I’m sure that when people see someone they like then they just forget to check whether they’re local.

I travel constantly… I can be in any given city for a week, two weeks, a month or more but, I’m always moving. That means that I’m listed in the six cities I’m allowed on rent men at any given time.
 Hi schedule really far in advance… Anywhere from two weeks to two months or more in advance.
 I’ve noticed something on Rentmen: despite showing my location, the site seems to list me in all the cities that I’m traveling to even though I’m not there yet~  In one sense, it is good because it gives me a chance to talk to people before I actually arrived but, on the other hand, it seems confusing for clients because they think I’m actually there in their city but I’m not.
  It’s easy enough to sort out through some casual texting that I actually enjoy the communication.

RM is supposed to show a "in X days" indication when someone has put a city in their future travel locations. I don't think a lot of guys notice it, though.

[TorontoDrew]

People don't read the whole profile.  It's a common problem in our hurried lifestyles.

I work in IT and am forever telling clients and consultants "read the release notes".

Prior to contacting a provider I read the entire profile including reviews and interview as well as check here.  Countless times I've been excited by the photos and then find somthing that makes me move on to the next profile.

The website allows you to do some "canvassing" in advance to check if there's interest in a city to go there

Unfortunately some guys can't tell the difference between a 🏠 sign or a 🧳 🛅 sign and don't bother reading dates.

Ditto.

On topic, I've seen providers come to Chicago,  but they knew the city so little they couldn't even grab the Uber I sent.

Providers need to actually research where they're traveling; I've had cancelations because they didn't look at a map ahead of time. It works both ways.

I guarantee you the word simply multitasking and that's how they got lost.

Back to subject on a daily basis escorts have to take screenshots of their ads to show clients where they are. It's shocking to see so many folks who just can't figure it out an escort's of location

[Simon Suraci]

This problem is quite common, especially when you travel frequently and/or have multiple cities listed on your ad. Some providers list “nearby travel” cities too, which can muddy the waters depending on how far flung the “nearby” travel cities are relative to their home base.

There is no stopping the myriad client messages inquiring about a city or date that do not align with your clearly posted travel plans and home base. It doesn’t matter how well you post the info or how frequently you update it (although you absolutely should take care to do these well).

Instead of getting frustrated or annoyed, I simply respond with a brief note including a copy paste of my travel dates and corresponding cities. Simple as that. When the client sees an incongruity with their location or schedule, that ends the conversation pretty quickly and neatly.

I don’t see what the big deal is. Why is that so hard, or time consuming? It’s not any worse or different than responding with rates information. That’s routine, even if your rates are clearly posted people still ask all the time. Same with location and schedule. Copy, paste. Done. No reason to get bothered or upset about it. 

People are people. We’re dealing with the lowest common denominators here on comprehension, conscientiousness, consideration, care, and capability. Some clients are inevitably low on one or more of those. That’s the biz. Handholding is an unfortunate necessity in this line of work. Don’t get mad. Accept, adapt, take a breath and move on.

I would suggest a screenshot. With an arrow pointing!

@marylander1940, several years ago I looked into doing independent consulting. The former HR director at my former employer (we were laid off after the company was acquired by a competitor) had been a contractor and we had lunch to discuss pros and cons, dos and don'ts, etc. She was a very nice lady and in her very nice lady voice she said to me "Remember, rvwnsd, many people are a**h**es."

I’ve done this many times before sending a screenshot and circle or arrow to “prove” the information is correct and clear on whatever ad they viewed. The problem is clients claim to see it differently on their end, or say that the app lists me currently available in their city (when I am clearly not) or that the information is not visible to them, or some other excuse attempting to minimize the fact that they plainly didn’t bother to read the whole ad or check my dates. A lot of times a client sees my ad photo listed on a grid ahead of the dates and doesn’t bother to check the dates. They just click, like what they see in a photo stop there before reading anything and start blasting out messages.

I could post a screenshot but it makes no difference to the client. Never has someone said, “oh, my bad, I see it now”. I only hear excuses and justifications and whining. At best, they are a little miffed. At worst, they think I’m a dick and won’t hire me because I have an “attitude”. I want the business so I try to keep it as neutral as possible. Me having to further explain and contradict the client takes more time and makes me come across as off putting or bitchy. It’s really not like that but some take it that way. 

So instead of going the self righteous screen capture route, I now try my best to look past the client’s lack of interest in reading the ad and take the extra two seconds to copy and paste the correct info and send it to them.

My patience has limits, but I’ve grown far more patient over time with clients asking questions that my ad already answers. In the long run I do more business this way than if I didn’t.

It pays to handhold your clients, as annoying as it may be. Plus you’re engaging directly with them instead of them scrolling mindlessly through the ad and then clicking on another ad. It’s harder for the client to disengage or discount you when they are actively having an exchange with you. Even if it’s dumb questions, the engagement makes them naturally more inclined to book with me. The extra effort pays dividends.

It did, actually. I surprise myself.

Alliteration is fun.

[soloyo215]

I've worked in IT, I was an Engineer, I read and write excellently, and I still misread the date of one provider and wanted to see him a day prior to his availability. Mistakes happen.

[jeezifonly]

RentMen is terrible as a source of accurate location information.

Available Now will list all Gold/Platinum members in all cities listed in their profile, at the same time, even if provider’s GPS input varies (they have to grant permission, just like clients do) and regardless of written date info in the profile.
