Customer Relations for Escorts

[Boston Guy]

I've recieved a number of holiday and New Year greetings from escorts I have frequented or (in one case) seen only once. The messages were generally short, pleasant, a pleasure to receive, unexpected -- and a good effort at a nice, informal kind of customer relations.

 

Having received these, I found myself thinking a bit about the escorts from whom I did NOT receive a holiday greeting. I wondered if the difference was that the escorts who sent greetings were better businessmen, better at customer relations or if perhaps they simply valued my business more.

 

One message especially surprised me -- a message from an escort I had corresponded with briefly in the summer but never hired. He sent a pleasant note wishing me a happy new year and hoping that perhaps we'd get a chance to meet in 2002. It was nice and done in a classy way.

 

So escorts -- now is a great time to thank your current and past customers for their business. Sending an email doesn't cost anything except a bit of your time. But, if you do send a note, make sure it's sent directly to your contacts, not as a BCC to a whole list.

 

Happy New Year everyone!

Yes, seems reasonable that professionals send notes to clients at the holidays. I know I do.

 

I was surprized at the lack of holiday greetings... and I am a festive guy !!!

I once got in trouble for sending a card to a client who had only given me his work address. I don't think that he had warned me beforehand that his secretary opened all of his mail and preread it for him.

I also got in trouble once when I realized that I had forgotten to give a client his Christmass gift and doubled back to give it to him and when I got back to his apartment his daughter was there.

This kind of customer relations is a relatively new thing in this field, IMHO. The escorts who didn't send you anything might just be more old fashioned - more concerned about you need for discretion.

Thank you Blade for stating one of the reasons that escorts may not send out holiday greetings.

 

With VERY rare exception, I now make it a point to discard any pics or email addresses I have of anyone that is a regular client , or even hired me once. I wait for them to contact me, unless we have agreed otherwise or our dynamics are such that we have been used to me contacting them. The reason for this is the whole issue of discretion. Though most clients do have their own email, I also do it to ensure that if, god forbid, I would be unable to pursue this line of work anylonger, for whatever reasons, there would be no record of my having been hired by someone.

 

This was sorta of borne out of a paranoid necessity. I was being harrassed by someone locally(in St.Louis), who was playing all sorts of games on me, including impersonating law enforcement over the phone. Although I knew (after a momentary heart stoppage and some talks with fellow escorts and my lawyer) that it was a hoax, I nonetheless started thinking that I should discard any of the contacts I had on paper, just to protect them. (I could survive people knowing , but most of my clients are married) Anyway, that's one reason.

 

The other resides partially on the fact that I do this part time, and sometimes my 'other' job keeps me from this msg board for a while, or from doing all the business necessities.

 

But if any of my clients are reading this, please know how much I have appreciated knowing you thus far, and that I wish you all, and everyone who makes this site so wonderful, a very happy New Year!

 

Let's make it a safe, and great year ahead of us, huh guys!!??

I'm glad you are enjoying all of their greetings, but I actually think I would be a bit put off by being contacted by escorts I met only once or, worse yet, had just "window shopped." I am very pleased to get holiday greetings from people I know, however, including escorts.

I think it's going to vary from relationship to relationship, much like every other aspect of the business.

 

I subscribe to Talvin DeMachio's newsletter, so it wasn't exactly a surprise to get a holiday greeting from that distribution. I received a few other individual e-mails and thought they were very nice gestures.

 

The one that warmed my heart, though, was a physical card from an escort (who has been discussed here) who dropped off the face of the Earth about six months ago. He just wanted to say thanks and to let me know he was OK and would be "back" soon.

As for myself, I have been looking into sending out e-cards but I am finding that it is kinda tuff especially when you have met with alot of customers. Lately I have been working on my group email list so I can just drop a line to everyone without out having to spend forever typing out letters. I hope nobody gets offended but I wish I had more time to send them out individually but for me that isn't possible right now. I love everyone and can't say that there isn't a soul out there that I wouldn't love to just gab on with. Maybe as my organizational skills get lined out I will be able to corespond better.

Luv,

Adam

Exactly...99% of the emails we ever send out to clients are replies only. We rarely make the first move in any type of correspondence (except private messages on here). We would hate to either be indiscreet or appear like we're hitting them up for work, no matter how well we know them. For that reason, we don't keep records of most email addresses & phone numbers, so we really depend on anyone we know to contact us.

Well no wonder I haven't heard from you! I thought it was he gas I had when we met over the summer! <g>

I fervently hope that the card came from Joshua Daulton and that "'back' soon" means a return to escorting and occurs before my February trip to Chicago. It is, of course, good to know that he is all right, if the card came from Josh.

[Boston Guy]

I'm pretty open in my life and the escorts I contact all have an email address for me (as well as, usually, my cell phone number). So I was thinking in those terms when I created this thread and I did appreciate the messages I received.

 

But I should have considered more carefully the situation where clients might not want to receive unsolicitied emails from escorts, or where doing so might pose a problem for them. The discretion shown by the escorts who responded above seems quite professional and also quite thoughtful.

 

So thanks for responding, guys. And happy new year!
