Asking an SP their working times?

[londonguy85]

A question to you all,

When there are no working times displayed or mentioned on an SP profile, is it bad practice to ask what times they work?

Just because I've messaged a few SP's asking their working times, as I like early bookings during the weekdays, but I'm not getting any responses.

Thoughts?

[RandomGuy99]

It's probably best to send a message like "I am interested in booking you on date for x hours. I prefer early morning bookings at around x am. Are you available?"

[londonguy85]

Thanks RG99, sounds like a good opener!

I've gotten used to agencies where my bookings could be confirmed a couple of days in advance, like Olina. However, independent SP is proving to be a lot different and more complicated

It's probably best to send a message like "I am interested in booking you on date for x hours. I prefer early morning bookings at around x am. Are you available?"

I can't speak for all SPs, but generally I want to know specifics. One person's early is not early for another just as morning, lunchtime, dinnertime, afternoon, evening, late can mean different things to different people.

[MissWolf]

A general enquiry about an SPs working hours is often hard to answer as many girls don't work set hours, it will depend on the enquiries and bookings they get, we also get a lot of 'let me know when you are available ' or ' when are you working ' messages which when we reply never go further.

A more specific enquiry like above will or should definitely get better results,  I personally have a line at the beginning of my profile that says something like, My diary is just a reflection of my availability, if there is nothing shown on their diary then a more detailed message would be beneficial.

is it bad practice to ask what times they work?

No. I too often ask this, as I need to plan each punt. Even the closest ones can take 30 min of driving(one way), more with traffic, so I its good to have some ideas of how much time I need to plan to be away etc

That said, I found most asian SP will start 10-10:30. Europeans/Brazilians will not start before 11:30, sometimes even 12:00. And they won't reply to messages before that either.

So yeah, go ahead and ask. If they don't reply, move on.

[RandomGuy99]

By stating a date and time in your message you will appear as a credible SS and not a timewaster, so your chances of getting a reply significantly increase.  You could also add a list of services that you're interested in. Your message will then contain all the information that an SP requires to decide if they can do your booking without the need for message ping pong. It makes life so much easier for the SP and yourself and everyone likes an easier life

Thanks all for your responses, its really useful to get an insight from Strawberry and MissWolf and I will use the advice given!

It's frustrating when a simple open question turns into a ping-pong match of
"when are you free?"
"when do you want to book?"
"tell me your availability and I'll decide?"
"no, tell me when you want to book?"
"It depends, I have stuff to do today but I can arrange it around when I see you, so please just let me know what times you're working and have no other bookings?"
"no, you have to tell me when you want to see me"
"5pm?"
"no"
"6pm?"
"no"
"7:30?"
"I could fit you in at 7:45 but only for a 10 minute quickie?"
"no thanks. 8:30?"
"getting warmer, you have one digit correct but it's not in the correct place"

The solution is don't ask open questions.  Provide all the information required in one message and the SP can then say yes or no. It makes it so much easier. You have to remember that SPs often have multiple conversations with other SSs running in parallel with yours, so getting their attention and securing the booking at the time you want is often down to making communicating with you easier than communicating with the others. If you appear to be hard work, then the SPs give up and they'll focus on the SSs who are easier to deal with.

and appearing to be hardwork in your communications also makes SPs wary of whether you'll also be hardwork on a booking by not observing their rules, so they go for the least drama SS.

I mean, she still doesn’t know whether you want an hour or half an hour… 

[Hottest Kat]

Best practice is to mention the times you are free. "I can do a b c or d time. May be able to be a bit flexible". That narrows it down for us and we can say " i can do b c and flexible on d but cant do a.
Theres nothing worse than someone asking when youre free, you give them 3 or 4 options then theyre like cant do those times. When else you free.
Much better to tell us when youre free specifying your preferences. It omits a lot of ping pong texting, which you all know we hate.
Its ok to ask what days we're working that week but like Miss Wolf says, a lot of girls change their days weekly, myself included.
If its in a few days, week we can make a point of setting that day aside for work.

Even AI can't answer this one   

I cannot fulfill that request as the text you provided, "AFDAF FDFDA SGD", appears to be a sequence of random letters and does not form coherent words or a translatable message in any language I can identify.
If you intended to write something specific, please provide the correct text or clarify your request.

A time window can be useful eg can you do a 1 hour incall Wednesday 10th December anytime between 7am-10am?

Thanks Strawberry, I will use that as an opening message as it creates some flexibility for me and the SP. 

[Jonestown]

Sometimes it a lot more straight forward to just phone up and ask your questions directly of the SP, rather than ponder how best to put it into a text with no danger of misunderstanding. Then you can send a confirmation text setting out what’s been agreed.

If somebody was willing to pay me 200 pounds an hour for work I would be wherever and at what time
they wanted

Unfortunately when a clients asks for a specified time, it isn't always available either due to another client or personal life. Regards of how much an hour is we can't just magic that time available. This gives me vibes of someone who offers £10 to choose them over someone already booked 🤣

[Upsndowns79]

From a personal point of view I prefer to pre-book and normally send a message/WhatsApp to enquire about availability a few days in advance with a rough idea of the best time for me. With most girls this will either get a response to indicate that they have availability and a couple of messages later a booking is confirmed. (I always then message on the day to re-confirm).

Or I also understand that some girls prefer to take bookings on the day and if it’s someone I really want to see I will message early on the day I’m available.

I wouldn’t message a restaurant days in advance and just ask an open question of availability.

Even after your bedtime?
No routine, not enough proper time off, no time blocked out for hobbies or family and no boundaries - in this business that’s the fast track to being unhappy, burned out and ending up with addictions

Agreed, you have to control the job or it will control you. Set your hours and stick to them.  It's easy to fall into thinking you have to be available 24x7x7 or you'll miss out on work, but that's not true.

I need to eat, sleep, do other things if even just the laundry. I can't be in work mode 24 hours a day, but I do receive enquiries who expect me to just keep working from one to the next and have nothing else in my life.

[hairdownthere]

My opener is for instance is...

Would you be available after 8pm at night on xxday or xxday for a 30min incall.  Im flexible with times after 8pm

I always get a definite response of 'can do 930pm on xxday if that suits?'  Some times get 'I don't work after xx time'  which is great for future reference

Don't ask an open question when you want a specific answer

[MrBamboo]

And I agree with you.. some employees working for 15 pound an hour may not though. I am off the backstreets
of Birmingham and all I am saying is if someone offered me 200 pounds an hour for work I would be there.

[Jujy78]

I don't think anything wrong with asking for working times as most of us have a busy schedule and need to plan. But like you I like early bookings as I like being the first punter. So I usually ask what's the earliest they can do

She could have done an overnight and finished with a CIM in the morning.

Never a guarantee you’re the first punter of the day……

First of the day always makes me laugh, one reg I had would take my booking an hour and a half before her advertised start time to fit me in so anyone who booked her for her start time was at least second and that's not even counting escorts with partners who might have had CIP or CIM with them before they start.

Equally 8pm could be the 'first'.

[Munter84]

The solution is don't ask open questions.

Yes indeed, especially with SPs who don't have English as their first language. I learned early on to keep my comms very short and clear.
