Anyone else...

[jay4994]

... like to chat with a lady before meeting her?

Generally I prefer to get a feel for how a lady is through msn or email before I call or book an appointment. Maybe it's because I have been burned too many time, maybe it's because I am paranoid.

What do you guys think? Anyone else the same?

Ladies? Does this make you nervous? Do you assume people that do that are just looking to waste your time?

-Jay (on days off after working almost 2 and a half months straight) Woo!

Jay I know others including myself who does this. I travel alot and having MSN with contact info is great and convenient. Just one click I am able to connect.

As for new sp, its a great tool to ensure you find out if you and her are compatible. I find if the sp does not entertaine the idea of at least chating before a meeting, its not worth the time and money to see her. I have discussed this topic with others and they concur.

We are in a relatiohship building business. We have to be compatible in order to ensure mutual satisfaction. If a sp does not even do a chat section and consider a waste of time, I must stress as well as my other compredre feel they the sp dont deserve the next level of the relatiohship.

I think they should also be available by phone. A quick 5 minutes of time can let both of you get a feel for each other, confirm the services & rates, and give you an idea of her personality (and she yours). I personally feel you shouldn't need to go in blind, if you need an actual connection with the sp before a visit. I can see it not being doable if it is booking thru agency or at an mp, but for anyone else you cannot replace the conversating with a website blog.

This is an intimate service; you are going to spend some of your time talking; if you cannot talk to the sp before you visit, what does that imply about what will happen when you do visit lol.

There is a similar thread in the Edmonton section that may be of interest.

It has more to do with pictures, but same kind of idea.

me as well

i enjoy getting to know someone through msn..and once in awhile i have had the pleasure of conversations via the phone. once i was very disappoonted in that msn conversations were very promising but in person the lady was cold, and the session was very routine, almost automatic with no real invilvement on her part. conversation was very one sided and stilted......but that was just once.

I don't really think that is realistic. How would you like it if you got 50 10 min phone calls a day during your work day?

This is fine by me. I make myself available via PM and email as well as phone to those who have already scheduled an appointment.

Not exactly the same thing:

I always found the chat feature here and on the other site a great way to break the ice, especially when I was newer and more nervous about meeting someone. I still think it's a useful way to get a feel for someone and whether you think you might get along with them. It's just too bad that fewer perb ladies use the chat these days.

I've logged into chat twice out of curiosity. There was no one from B.C. there. There were about 4 or 5 guys on there, who's handles I didn't even recognise and they all ignored me, lol. This might be why girls don't use it any more, lol

I'm sure if you posted a little note in the lounge that you were in chat, plenty of perb members would join just to chat with you.

It's work -- it's part of the job, like any other. How much simpler and faster it is to have a 1-2 minute conversation covering the basics than answering a similar number of emails, no matter how much cut and pasting that might go on. Better to find out sooner rather than later that the lady you have chosen to spend the next hour with has a voice like nails on a chalkboard, a tendency to laugh loudly & shrilly and mumble. Or that she is impatient, crude, or otherwise presents herself unprofessionally in person, so to speak. The written word can mask a lot, especially if it turns out that it isn't the sp herself doing the "talking".

(And no matter how wonderful that lady might be, it is unlikely she will get 50 phone calls every day, let alone 50 that last that length of time. Sadly, the majority of callers won't get much farther than 10-20 seconds when they reply to her hello with either 'how much you charge" or "what'll 50 get me". How much time does that cost lol).

In the end, it is a sales job, except the calls are incoming not cold calls going out.

I have an auto reply to call me directly, I hate email. Text looses so much of the context. Misunderstanding what the client is saying/asking, it's so much easier and way more personalable to ask, what do you mean ? on the phone instead of 10 emails back and forth asking the same thing.

I truly believe this is a personal service I prefer to keep it that way.

Clients can get nervous about making that call, which is completely understandable, however I truly believe if you can't call me your likelyhood of showing up is even less.

Time management is key for any business if it's going to be successful. My time on the phone is so much more productive than spending it on emails 2 - 4 hours a day.

Very true! I have also logged in their couple times to see whats up and it's always the terb members. Now why would anyone want to ignore you?!?!?!?! Crazy people...



Back to topic: I wouldn't mind. Would be cool but isn't necessary.
