Confirming service in TOFTT

[Cappa]

"Hi, do you do X?"
"What are your rates and services?"

As I prep for one last throwback to the community, I am starting to question the value of asking about service.

Let me pose this scenario:
You see an ad you believe is genuine. You've reverse search the images and see there are no reviews. Perfecto. You're at the point where you are going to make the call or text. You find out her menu is pretty extensive and you close the deal. I see two possible outcomes:

1. Oh joy! She delivers what's confirmed over the phone so it's time for a glowing review. Thing is, she would have given the same service regardless the confirmation.
2. Did not deliver. Any attempt at arguing over the session is just a waste of time and effort. Chances are, you won't change her mind even if you are right.

A couple of the last reviews I've read are negative ones where the girls (or handlers) are blatant liars. Seems like the service inquiry has no benefit at all. From the angle of the provider, it's just repetitive work to answer the nth guy asking the same questions.

Any TOFTT vets care to weigh in? Any new strats to the pre-session meta-game?

what about ymmv, or in this scenario is every guy at least neat looking, impeccably and excellently groomed shaved scrubbed freshened and looks clean as a whistle etc ?

Don't think this is what Cappa is asking. Thread is more to do with getting reliable specific info up front about rates and services etc. for SPs that have little to no intel on themselves- hence the TOFTT in the title.
YMMV will always skew the results of an encounter. I think Cappa is more concerned with going into the encounter with a clear understanding of what to reasonably expect.

Yes, exactly my point. Also to note, I find that my encounters are 90% consistent with perb reviews (if only there were more reviewers) so I like to leave YMMV out of the equation for simplicity. However, if anyone needs to visualize a caller, assume the average Perb reviewer.

Let me rephrase my question into a challenge. You are not allowed to ask about service. What will boost your confidence level that a visit will be worthwhile?
