Thanks to the punters who are awesome and fun and who treat us with some respect ... You guys know who u are and you keep us going - So THANK YOU xx

@Joy, well said!

I have found that the best thing to do, is to switch my phone off at 5pm sharp, when I stop working, that way I do not get phone calls after hours. So my phone is only switched on between 9am-5pm, which is my working hours. I do not make use of the availability function on ESA, as I work strictly by appointment only and therefore cannot accommodate clients on short notice.

I do think that guys who ask if I work alone, are those guys who are shy or who do not like to go to venues. Since I openly advertise on my ESA Profile as well as my website that I work alone, I do not have an issue with guys asking me this, but I understand that it may be cause of concern for some ladies wrt to their safety.

I do get a lot of guys asking in which area I am in, so I agree that the guys do not always read all details on a profile, that's why I give all my details when they call and also direct them to my website to read my faq and so on.

Wrt to specials, I do not offer specials and there is nothing I detest more than bargain hunters who think that I will drop my fees to accommodate them. I have made a point of mentioning that on my website as well and that seems to have done the trick as I no longer get requests for specials or discounts.

I would like to add that clients arriving very early for an appointment can also be problematic. I sometimes get clients who arrive anything from 15 mins to 30mins before the scheduled appointment time and then get upset that I cannot see them immediately.

I have had 2 clients who actually drove off and did not honor their appointments, due to the fact that they arrived early and I was not ready yet to open up the gate for them.

Please understand that if you arrive too early, that chances are that I am possibly still busy with another appointment or I just had another appointment and I still have to clean the room and get dressed for you, so I'm not quite ready yet to see you and I think it is very bad manners to then drive off and not honor your appointment. Needless to say those who do that as well as those who arrive late without notifying me upfront that they will be late, I blacklist and do not take appointments from them ever again.

@Victoria

Sorry hun, I was generalizing and just trying to make a point that somehow answers the punter question of 'Are you working alone'. No assumptions being made, just suggesting what SOME might think. ;) The reality is that there are other horror-stories on threads of punters being cornered or threatened by the very above. Of course, they could be French or South African or any nationality... Wouldn't matter. It has happened.

Personally, I avoid certain areas and venues and prefer to stick with regulars that I already know are amazing and beautiful people.

No disrespect intended. Obviously.

@Allenbbb none taken darling ;)

Hi Joy,
The points you mention are just basic courtesy and we all should know that, however there are some "numbnuts" around .....

@ Joy "Thirdly, if a punter calls and asks me in which area I am....On my profile I clearly state that I am based in the Zwartkop Golf Course Area/Centurion"

Some of us come from rural areas and do not know where each area starts or ends eg Zwartkop or Centurion. When we are in a lodge, hotel, motel, guest house etc and looking for someone close by the asking can be monotonous for you but we are asking for clarity.

I come from a community of 270 families around 550 km from Jhb therefore to me what you have posted on your profile means very little to me

On the other hand if I find you under Pretoria then shame on me if I ask if you are in Durban

What also is upsetting is the fact that you get a phone call asking if you are available now, answering yes you will be told I am on my way. Now you obviously plan your visit or if it is a spur of the moment booking, you more or less know how far you are or your GPS or phone should give you an indication of your ETA. Now you sit and wait for this client because he told you he is on his way, but cannot give you a time. How do you plan your next appointment as I work by appointments? Please give me more or less a time and tell me how long you plan to stay. So that I can plan the rest of my day accordingly.

Also my profile states I work from 09:00 in the mornings, please do not call before then as I am taking my kids to school and cannot answer the phone. However when I do have an opportunity to chat I will sms you, but in a professional manner not to get you into trouble. At least have the decency to either call or sms back saying thanks but I came right or I will speak to you soon. Not rudely reply because I couldn't answer your call at 06:30 or 07:00 in the morning

So I use a sms or WhatsApp, if the ladies don't answer, I move on.

I am not comfortable at venues so yes I do ask if you work alone but nothing sinister but I suppose it can sound quite intimidating.

It does happen sometimes that I want more specifics of where a lady works from because I might know someone in the area. Some ladies will say Eastgate and they actually in Bez Valley

Dressing up in a certain way is not up there in my priorities and would definitely ask if it was a requirement. Coming to the door in shlops is a no-no

Joy hats off to you. Yes all punters should take note of those points..from the punters point of view. Points that is of concern. You make a booking for a specific time. Then arrive at the address then the girl don't answer..you arrive at the address at the time aggreed upon just to find double booking. Another punter also waiting..but yes we all are here for the same reason. So enjoy.
