Dumb Auto Reply Emails

The only part I strongly disagree with is that it is time consuming to answer emails. It takes 5 seconds to answer. It's not like the guy is asking for your life story, he prolly is just asking if you will be available on x day at y time. All you need to type is yes or no, it takes 5 seconds of your time. Even if you are receiving 100 emails a day(you def are not receiving that many) then it would take you a little over 8 mins replying to these guys. Originally Posted by Vitamin

If I cannot determine if someone is safe to answer, my schedule is none of their business.

This is an excellent discussion. Thank you OP! Based on what we've all shared here, I think I'm going to just keep doing things the way I've been doing them. If it ain't broke...

im not sure if you failed math, common sense, or just everything.

you really think it takes that little bit of time to reply to emails? Originally Posted by Alyssa Marie

To be more reasonable, 1 min reply, 10 emails a day= 10 mins. Often times you can answer these emails while multi tasking. For instance, you could answer emails while walking your dog, so no time wasted.

I agree.
I spend an average of 5 to 10 minutes on each email.
I don't just type mindlessly. I have to take a minute to see how I'm going to phrase what I'm going to write. Sometimes I have to check my availability first. Sometimes guys ask a lot of questions.

And I take the extra time to write in a professional and polite manner and use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

So yeah, 5 to 10 minutes a pop. It is very time consuming.

Last thing I want to do is offend clients with an "auto reply" email. But you can't blame me for fantasizing about how much easier my life would be if I used them. Originally Posted by PiperPosh

Our correspondence has always been delightful. It's obvious that you care about what you're saying, how you say it, and who you're talking to. (corrected grammar: the one with whom you are communicating. Correct grammar is sometimes awkward.) Even though your grammar has been correct, I don't remember anything you sent me having ever been awkward.

You are so much fun.

I take at least 10 minutes for my posts and PMs. I still have stupid mistakes. I think being ADD and dyslexic might have something to do with it. lol

It doesn't follow that if a girl writes out an email in less than 10 mins then therefore she doesn't care about her client. It obviously depends on the question, and honestly I can't think of any question a client may ask that would require a 10 min response. In other words, explain why it should take you 10 mins to respond to whether or not you will be available on Thursday at 10pm. Also, she likely will not lose any clients because she used the wrong there/their. It's very sweet that Piper takes her time to write out her emails, but I think she is either exaggerating the time it takes to write emails or she is overthinking. Or maybe she is being asked very difficult questions that require multi paragraph responses. idk.

Read JC's post it sums it up pretty well.

If it can't wait that long then pick up the phone and talk. Of course that applies only to real-world business, not the hobby. In the hobby it can wait. If you don't like the way a provider does business, take her off your list.

I usually don't participate in threads with hostile titles and begin with a belligerent post. The OP is usually just ranting which produces a flurry of other rants.

Gentlemen,

The ladies who are independents,once again, run their own business as they see fit and there is NO WAY every lady here is going to provide the way each and every single male on the board wishes we would. There are NO rules that govern us all. If that's what you want, then please know that your best option is to get with a pimp. I can't speak for the other ladies, but I won't judge your choice to do so,because that's your choice. However, should I ever discover you use them, I probably would reconsider a request from you, regardless of whether you pass screening or not.

It is not rude to have auto reply on, and doesn't this immediately let you know she is not available "right now" for a quick unscreened visit? Are you so impatient that you can not wait for a response? If so, there are plenty of ladies who will not have their auto response on. Try another lady if you are easily offended by such and you think that'll teach her a lesson or something. I'm sure the ladies understand your need and that it is your prerogative to do so. No need for all this butt hurt stuff or over sensitivity. right? Many of you are constantly saying things like, grow thicker skin, and while I refuse, it's obviously a choice readily available to both sexes.
