I deleted my showcase due to the amount of harassing emails I received because of it.The guys have excellent advice; I was wondering though, what was in the showcase you deleted that would cause you to receive harassing email? That isn't very clear.
As for my service being questionable, I took a year off because I wasn't on my game. I do have recent views since coming back to the hobby on TER. Originally Posted by addisonlee

Also I would say if ur old reviews r not representative if ur current service level then prove it. At that rate u lag behind by a big margin. I guess in business terms, u r a high risk investment, so I desire a high return or I will invest less. Since a high return is questionable given the evidence available, I desire a small investment to test the waters. In short, lower ur rates to where I am willing to test the waters, or prove u can deliver at that rate and deserve a higher investment. Just my. 02 cts which is worth exactly that much.

That isn't very clear.Nothing that was out of the ordinary, but I did get flooded with tons of emails from one person or a group of people who found it to their right to cast stones because I'm a "sinner" in the eyes of Christ. Personally, I didn't like receiving tons of emails from them mentioning my showcase, quoting scripture, getting called derogatory names, etc. After deleting the showcase the last email said "Jezebel, I see you are finally coming to the light end deleted your showcase." After that the emails stopped. It was total BS. Maybe its time to create another, and see what happens. Lol.
Love the avatar!

Law enforcement is easy to avoid. Second, if you DO get busted, you're incriminated already just by advertising, having reviews, not to mention money changing hands and you removing clothing. Cops, judges, and juries are not stupid. Get a lawyer, shut up, and let him do his job.+100 to what she said - hell pretty much what everyone in this thread has said - you asked and it's been answered and now you know what the houston market expects and like GI Joe said "Knowing is half the battle"
Now, about your lack of inquiries. You're getting some good advice from the guys. Get a website. Set up a showcase. Show them more pictures, and put your contact info, rates, etc. out there so they don't have to go digging for your info.
The piece of advice I'd give you is leave your agency. Be independent and find yourself an assistant that will work for YOU, not the other way around. This way, you know your screening is being done to YOUR satisfaction, YOU get to say yes or no to each individual client, YOU set your rates, oversee your advertising, etc. Basically, you're the boss, not an employee. It will probably come out in your favor financially, and since you're paying your assistant a set rate instead of a percentage, they have no incentive to put you behind closed doors with questionable men (I'm not saying your agency does, I'm saying SOME agencies do).
Do not offer review specials. Just ask each client that you have a good time with (or that you think had a good time with you) very politely to write a review. Some will, some won't. Don't worry about it and just keep asking nicely til you get a few. They will come. You don't need to offer a special.
Hope you find your sea legs, love. Originally Posted by CarolineDavenport
