Hi all.

How long do you give a SP time to reply to a message before you call it quits and that she is not intrested in seeing you again?

Especially if you have seen the SP before and this message is regarding a return visit?

Understand not all SP's are available throughout the day and perhaps some don't reply over weekends.

Would appreciate some insight as I've only punted once and new to all of this.

1 to 2 days, then i move on

I would agree, unless her ad is paused. Sometimes we need to put this life on pause and attend to personal business.

But ghosting a client is not on.

If she doesn't reply by the next morning I move on.

And then there are the gents that give you a total of 5min to respond or they block you lol

When it is a message that needs some time to answer, I will just send a quick response to say I am busy at the moment, but will reply in detail as soon as I have a moment to myself. I always try to not leave messages for more than 2 hours or so unless it was sent on ESA as I don't always go on if I'm at home.
So yes, a couple of hours (especially if you see that she actually read your message) or at the most a day..... but like Ms Eve said ghosting I client is not on! ;) xxx

Some of the ladies won't reply to a message sent some time back in case it is a bad moment that will get him in trouble with the wife. Try send a 2nd one but if there is no reply to that either then move on.

I am one of those individuals who may not be available on certain weekends; for instance, today I am not at work. Nevertheless, I do find a minute or two to log in and read and respond to emails while at home.

To be honest, my focus is primarily on the market. Whether you are a returning client or a new visitor, I habitually make an effort to return missed calls, check my inbox, and reply to WhatsApp texts during working hours. I might miss a day or two out of the five working days to get back to you, depending on the week's busyness.

For those I have known for a while, if their message has been in my inbox since the day before and I couldn't respond, I typically send replies in the early hours of the morning, from Tuesday to Friday. Monday mornings are usually busy for me as I prepare my son for his travel to boarding school and myself for my commute from Johannesburg to Pretoria for work. I don't touch my laptop until I arrive at work. However, I do respond between 5:00 am to 5:30 am on my way to work, before my day becomes hectic.

I must add that I do enjoy the whatsapp business accounts that have the 'auto response' with various details of rates and offerings.

The irritation I find tho is once I was keen to the follow up with a booking or was after a bit more info, the responses were then either a few days later or not at all. 1 day at most for me (excl. weekends or SP days off) are fully understandable.

One day is long enough.

Relying on someone that takes days to respond to a message will lead to you agreeing on a time and then her not answering while you're outside of her gate.

Besides, she's met you already and knows that you're not a time waster.

In general I don't like people who takes days to respond to a message. With the exception of certain professions such as customer service, medicine and construction, everyone is pretty much glued to their phones.

Which platform did u use to send the message. Whatsapp or esa email. If its whatsapp then give her a few hours then move on. If its esa email. Completely forget about it cause she moved on.
