Tips/ experience from reverse bookings

[normal bloke]

I've seen a few threads recently on reverse bookings and thought I would share some of the things that have worked out well for me.  I'm not suggesting i'm an expert at it and most of this is just common sense.  Hopefully its helpful to someone.

I've had a number of great RB over the years and a few bad ones or plan Bs required.  % wise probably about 90% good though so overall definitely worthwhile.  It does depend on the area you are in, so this is all with London in mind.

-  Write a short, polite add that mentions the services you are looking for but doesn't go into too much detail.  You will attract better responses if it doesn't sound like a fantasist.  Once you have picked someone you can talk in more detail about the event.
-  Make sure you write it with at least a couple of weeks notice.  You will get a lot of responses initially and then again a week or so before the event, so will give you two bites at the cherry.
-  You will get a lot of bad responses (zero feedback, the opposite of what you have said you are looking for).  Obviously just delete them immediately.
-  You get really four types of responses 1) a bid with no narrative 2) the clear copy and paste narrative 3) the hi check my profile/ book me sentence 4) a short response with some reference that links/ makes reference to what you have said in the bid.  Again fairly obvious but on average type 4 will lead to a better service.
- Check reviews on here, I tend to go for outcalls which can make this problematic though as girls who only offer this aren't reviewed that often for some reason.
- Keep on top of the RB by deleting unwanted bids so the number of active bids is lowish-  encourages more bids.
- For whoever you pick don't do it too early or too late.  Always contact the girl to check she is still free, then confirm and follow normal process.
- If you like the look of a few people hotlist them as it maybe useful. Once you select the girl you loose access to the remaining bids.

If I think of anything else I'll add later.

All very good advice, so many thanks for a very useful post. I've come to  similar conclusions drawing my own experience with RBs, thought I've never tried to arrange one two weeks in advance – three or four days is the most I've attempted, mainly because my own availability is subject to change, and I mostly start the process only one day in advance.

In addition to hotlisting the bidders who look good but you don't accept, it's a good idea to make a note of how much they bid. Girls often agree to meet you for a lot less than their normal rates, especially on long-ish outcalls. If you go back to a girl later you can always ask if she is prepared to meet you on the same basis.

A couple of times I've sent brief notes to the WGs thanking them for their bid at such and such a rate for my 90-minute booking (for example) and I hope to be in touch soon. That gives you an easy reference in your AW emails if you want to approach them later.

Great note Normal bloke.  I have added this thread to the Wiki. External Link/Members Only

Consider turning this (and ideas from the other thread on RB) into a Wiki page.  It is really not much harder than writing this note.  But a year from now it will be much easier to find.

Or if Hydrant or anyone else wants to, that is fine too - is all about helping punters.

You also get bids from people who haven`t read what you want, i`m in Manchester and girls from London bid.
For me, there are 2 main advantages, saves time going through the catalogue and tons of emails back and forth, also, may get a much better price.

Disadvantage is that if you get a dozen replies, you are doing well, which is tiny
in an area like Manchester, and if you don`t like the look of them, you are back to square one.

Best one to date for me was £50 off on a threesome.

If you get a discount, i`m not sure what the etiquette is in asking for the same rate on a repeat booking.

If you are not prepared to pay her normal rates it can't hurt to ask. If she says no, what have you lost?

Have done reverse bookings in the past a couple of times and am thinking of doing one again soon.
 A question I have is, if you don’t like any of the offers or your plans have changed can you just delete the whole thing?

I’m trying to remember if that was an option in the functionality but can’t do so.

Also what is the implication on AW of doing that, can SPs see that you’re put a RB up but deleted it. Might lead them to see you as being a time waster.

Lots of good advice so far in this thread, thank all for that.

I had to cancel a RB last year after I had several bids. No repercussions from AW. It was a genuine reason but I doubt AW care once they have had your £2.

Thanks Foxtail

Having used RBs on a number of occasions usually for longer bookings of 2 hours or more what I do now is leave it running till it expires naturally contacting bidders by email thanking them for bidding confirming they’re still interested and then putting the booking through in the normal way, if the chosen one backs out I’ve got a reserve list to start frantic emailing trying to find another bidder willing to accept the booking at late notice, If that happens I apologise for leaving it so late but I wasn’t sure after putting it up whether I could make it myself and didn’t want to mess someone around with a booking that won’t take place.

What I do is copy  the details etc  and the links into a spreadsheet, so if the 1st choice fails to work out and the details have vanished from AW because it`s expired, at least I have a record of who bidded so I can go back.
I always thank those who I haven`t gone with, it`s only good manners.

I’ve had good experiences with RB’s. I usually use them for overnights and most of the bids come out at about 50% of the girls listed rate. Usually get about 10-12 bids mainly Birmingham airport or Milton Keynes areas. They are always when I’m away so outcalls to my hotel.
As has been said, you can quickly discard about half the bids. Some are just daft eg I state size 8-10 and get 16-18 lardies bidding.

I state my requirements (OWO, DFK or whatever), and suggest we meet at say 7:30 for a nice dinner , bottle of wine etc before the action starts. I rather like to get to know her a bit and have had some great conversations over dinner which have led to a most natural conclusion in the bedroom.

I have found that sometimes you get girls who don’t escort regularly but as a sideline from a regular job and trott off to work after breakfast the next day. Had some great punts, but also the occasional bad one.(she woke me up every half hour to complain I was snoring! I eventually called it a day at about 3am and told her to bugger off!)

[goldwing1]

If I leave a review on here about a girl as a result of a reverse bid, I don`t quote the price paid, just her advertised rates , otherwise everyone will be asking her for a discount.
Don`t forget, some of the girls are on here as well, they may put 2 and 2 together and that fucks up your chances of getting a 2nd booking at the reduced rate.

i tried doing one just before christmas in brighton, i was in a travelodge and i just wrote that i was in a hotel in brighton and would anyone be interested in visiting me, so this girl replies who is normally £200 an hour and said she could do an hour with me for £80, i should mention that this was my first adultwork contact and i didnt really know how to proceed, but after an exchange of phone calls and giving her my room number i just said i would be in my hotel room all evening from 8pm, so just pop round any time after that, but nothing happened, after waiting until midnight i gave up and went to bed. the next morning i had a text message from her telling me i was a timewaster and was now blocked from all communication from her, so i couldnt even ask her what the problem was, she had my phone number so if she forgot the room number or had any other problems finding me, she only had to ring, alas i will never know.

I just add them to my hotlist entitled Reverse...so I can return.

Cheers for that, I forgot about that one, makes life a bit easier.
