Clients don’t know their schedule?!

[+ Jamie21]

In any situation the person with the greatest flexibility in thinking is the most likely to succeed. 

Think about that in the context of the debates above.

And of course it would involve processing a lot of payments.

Actually, I don’t think there would be very many payments to process.

In regards to your reply…I didn’t want to leave it unnoticed:

My whole thing is: there’s often an ideology where the provider gets the blame for the actions of shitty acting clients. Advice is okay, when it comes with substance and works.

When you say “pay my bills”, it’s not so much that I’m asking to pay bills. But moreso, can that person who’s giving such advice be willing to make it work by contributing anything? If not, don’t tell me what I need or don’t need to do.

For example: people can say: oh move to that city, so you can get more clients (New York/Los Angeles). But how’s someone able to make a move like that? I know 2 people who are living in California (Likely the most expensive state in the union) now, but they were able to do it because they had someone: whether family or a person already established to move in with. That stepping stone is a necessity in some cases.

Or others can say: be nice and more understanding to clients, don’t take deposits/charge cancel/consultation fees. Okay…. So what happens when that person spends their money on a RentMen ad, pays for a hotel, etc: and then nobody shows up when expected? That’s money lost, is that person who’s saying “don’t do this, don’t do that” going to be willing to front $250 in hotel/ads/gas PLUS the rate they lost, because someone told them not to take deposits?

Is that someone also going to pay the escort their fee, if they for example: plan time with a client who flakes on them, as I shown below (and I didn’t fall for his shit because he never paid a deposit, so I never scheduled him).

The green means he likely blocked me. Which is no surprise considering he’s a liar:

It’s stuff like this why I ask for consultations. They waste time bullshitting, which costs me time and energy, and then they don’t show up or keep their word. That’s exactly why I have to ask for them. And I’ve told RentMen: start making these people pay us $5 - $10 - $20 to get in contact. We shouldn’t have to rely on someone following thru, to get paid.

 

See above. Everything about a consultation is explained there…

I hear your points and appreciate the context. My intention was to offer a perspective with respect and care. I hope you find fulfillment and happiness in your work—you deserve it.

the issue is that I asked an open-ended question on purpose and they deflected. it’s THEIR appointment, that THEY should set according to THEIR preference. 

Would you call up a restaurant looking for a reservation “anytime” or do you throw out some options since you’re the customer?

While I understand your thought, if you can't do 3:15pm, are you ok with people hanging up and choosing another restaurant? 

I have asked for many providers if they are available between 1pm and 3pm, only to get an endless list of times that are NOT the time I asked for.  I understand stand providers asking for their time to be respected and in turn expect the same consideration for my work, travel, etc.
