If you have the money, obviously just see someone else on AW first that takes your fancy, have a good meeting, exchange good feedback, job done. Then circle back to the one you want to book.
Indeed
On my post #6 i meant to add just this
A sprat to catch a mackerel
Funny how the sprat can turn out better than the mackerel ..
It will take a few positive FBs to establish some cred
Once there's one the rest follow
I;ve seen the initial feedback [both ways] rev things up for the subsequent meet(s)

I've got enuf albeit quite aways back

A well worded brief text or WA (clarifying NBA status if needed incl. when not referenced on the profile if you get this vibe stuff on here etc, south americans & EEs especially) IMO yields better results
Its all about tilting the playing field in your favour
