This is interesting thread. I trust my favourite girls are reading this tutorial because I don't want them to disappear.

I agree ultraman - good solid common sense advice that can benefit clients and wg's. Thanks ESA.

Thank you ESA. Love this topic

#3 Email

Having an email address is compulsory if you want to earn the big bucks.

In the same manner that your name and phone number is part of your brand, the same holds true for the email address used for client contact.

You email should be name relevant, don't choose and unrelated email address. Say for example you work name is Mary rather choose [email protected] than [email protected]. Once you have decided on an email address that matches your work name, NEVER change it.

Your business depends on the most part or should on returning clients if you change your contact details your clients will not be able to reach you and you will loose money because of this fact.

Use an online mail account the one I recommend is gmail, gmail has a massive mail box and some of the best spam and anti-virus software in the world. They have an almost endless budget and spend a fortune in maintaining one of the the most secure networks in the world. If its good enough for google its good enough for you.

gmail has the added advantage of being quite easily viewable on most modern mobile phones so if you don't have a computer you will still be able to communicate with your clients.

Emailing Protocol with your clients.

You have to respond to every single email sent to you, no matter how dull or offensive personally. You should maintain a moderate friendly tone throughout your communications.

There will be times when clients will try to initiate email sex with you or push your boundaries. Be polite and firm and always stand your ground and make it clear what you do and don't find acceptable.

Before sending your reply email always do a spell check to ensure everything is spelt correctly. I cant spell to save my life either so make this a habit.

For requests of pictures of your face when you don't show your face in adverts politely refuse. There is no point that you don't show you face on your advert and then send pictures of your face to total strangers, irrespective of promises of the images not being sent on to any further parties. These promises are rarely if ever kept. There are 7 underground mailing lists that sprouted from the ESA forum, so believe me pictures are being circulated like there is no tomorrow.

I have left the most important for last, NEVER initiate email contact with clients under any circumstances and especially not with requests for loans and personal assistance. Only reply to email sent from clients and do so during office hours only.

Please put more up ESA :-)

Thanx so much ESA...i have learned a few things here by reading this...sincerely hope there's more to come.

Regarding email addresses - another point is they are very good for marketing and promotions (specials) or when business is slow and needs a kick in the pants.

Suggested topic - 'When / is it appropriate to sms a client'. Personally, I reckon never.

[EDIT - above should read - when is / isn't it appropriate]

On the point made by kidnotorious, NEVER send out marketing emails or sms EVER, only reply to clients email initiated by the client.

As a web site we stick to that rule also.

Because of the discretion factor of this business an ill timed email or sms could cause the end of a marriage or relationship.

#4 Mobile Phone sms and other stuff

Respond to all sms's received but draw the line when it starts moving to a sms sex situation, do not let clients make appointments via sms unless they are regular clients.

If a client pushes a sms sex situation simply reply with the following,: 'I'm very flattered with your interest and attention but I do this work professionally and do not offer a sms chat or sex service, if that's what you require I'm sorry I cant help you'

Make certain if its a new client that he physically calls you and makes and appointment after requesting pricing etc via sms. Once again in all communication be cordial and polite at all times.

Do not take appointments from private numbers, you welcome to give clients your pitch when they call on a private number but do not take an appointment from anyone calling on a private number. From Jan 2010 to present there have been several deaths of working girls some drug related and some murders. You only have one life and there are some very disturbed people out in the world so make your personal safety a priority.

You will loose some business by not taking appointments from private numbers but believe me that's far better than loosing your life.

Make certain that while on a booking that someone knows you on a booking and knows when to expect your return.

Ensure at all times that you have adequate talk time (R250+) on your mobile phone, your phone could be your life line if you end up in a distressing situation. Carry a second phone hidden on your person in case you have an emergency situation.

Do NOT sms clients unless they have initiated the contact first. Under No circumstances make requests for loans and personal assistance via sms for any reason irrespective of how desperate you might be. It will very quickly give you a bad reputation and kill your business, irrespective of where or how much you advertise.

Do NOT send clients CALL ME requests, ensure at all times that you have adequate talk time on your mobile phone, you are in business so act like a business person and ensure you have all the tools required to do your business.

Do NOT send clients airtime requests.

As kidnotorious so appropriately noted: 'When / is it appropriate to sms a client'. Personally, I reckon never.

Great info esa, well done!

Personally, this is how I pick a new punt after 20 years of punting, I will start at the top 10 but nobody new there so I move on.

I will check there pics, carefully!

If the comments are disabled I move on.

Read the comments and who they from, been around awhile so try and decode the punters from the pimps/wg

Search the chat for comments on the wg.

SMS her and see how she reacts, if she doesn't reply I move on, if she can't afford 30c I don't want to skrop her either.

If that all pans out I will book her, it looks like a time consuming process but I just did it and in 15 min I picked a punt.

My two cents worth!
