Platforms opened for Discussion

About sharing tour schedules/contact info... Have you not noticed that most VP’s have a signature line that appears at the bottom when they send a PM to anyone.
Some include quotes, poetry, promos, websites, contact info, location and dates they are available.

As Paulie said it’s hard to keep up with travel schedules on so many platforms out there, especially when everyday life situations can change something that was previously planned.
Remember eccie guidelines allow a VP to post 1 weekly update and 1 weekend update every 7 days...a lot can happen within that amount of time.
The signature line can help be kept up-to-date on changes like these. Originally Posted by Do_me_doggy69

Do you remember playing the telephone game aka Chinese whispers as a child?

It is an internationally popular children's game where players form a line, the first player comes up with a message and whispers it to the ear of the second person in the line. The second player repeats the message to the third player, and so on. When the last player is reached, they announce the message they heard to the entire group.

The first person then compares the original message with the final version. Although the objective is to pass around the message without it becoming garbled along the way, part of the enjoyment is that, regardless, this usually ends up happening. Errors typically accumulate in the retellings, so the statement announced by the last player differs significantly from that of the first player, usually with amusing or humorous effect. Reasons for changes include anxiousness or impatience, erroneous corrections, the difficult-to-understand mechanism of whispering, and that some players may deliberately alter what is being said to guarantee a changed message by the end of the line.

As the first player: I have given the straightforward layout of an introductory PM.(Visiting, Inviting and their option to reply.

As one of the current last players: BBG says “Messaging a stranger to see if they want to screen & have a date is strange and inappropriate”

Those who LOVE gossip keep this game alive and forever changing.


So... PM’ing a member on this site is what we were talking about.
Asking a member to be screened or have a date is where some players may have deliberately altered what was actually sent. Originally Posted by Do_me_doggy69

I think the scenario you used OSD of Sally and Billy would fall under what CB said:

I was unaware that a boundary had been crossed when I received an introductory PM from a lady. I hope I don’t get points for bring happy to read it. I may be crazy, but I’ve always been happy to hear from a lady in a PM as long as:

It isn’t more than once per week

I have not previously asked her to take me off her list

It doesn’t involve a positive test result Originally Posted by Crazy Bob

dinner or dancing even the fair or a movie you'll get lucky again

Prepare and keep excellent records. Like a notE pAd ?

The reason for handles and screen names is for discretion. Not everyone is comfortable being a part of these excellent records that can be traced back to them. (Too much to lose)
But thank you for letting everyone know you keep records on all your current clients and prospective clients

Also, keep in mind, not all VPs are constantly traveling as much as you either. Originally Posted by Do_me_doggy69

Yes i do keep a long list of emails. I encourage people to make a hobby email. Many trust me with their personal email. They know their email has been saved and many ask to be added to my mailing list

Unfortunately I only have time to keep up on my mailing list when my other platforms are down. But I’ll have it in case shit hits the fan (again)

I’m also a huge advocate for references. Like the dozen + references you have requested from me in the past. Of course we all know our regulars and repeat clients well. But records are helpful to jog our memory on that one off client we saw months ago

Lastly if someone contacts me being shady - inappropriate, rude, unsafe, etc - right away I know to ignore the inquiry

Only screening info containing real life info is deleted.

If you don’t want me to be able to look back at our previous correspondence, please feel free not to contact me

Yup!

This is sure to get all sorts of responses and opinionated input, so here we go!

‪Eccie is mainly the area for gentlemen voicing their opinions on various topics and to view weekly or weekend updates as well as encounter reports.

So if ladies engage and try networking on the same platform with an introductory PM, how is that considered to be “crossing boundaries”?!? Originally Posted by Do_me_doggy69

Since I have joined ECCIE and began posting here, a few ladies have Private Messaged me.

Most of these PMs have been about things that I have said in threads.

In two cases, these PM conversations have led to long-running email conversations, and eventually, we have friended each other on FaceBook.

In both of these cases, these ladies live in states far removed from where I live. I have enjoyed the conversations and I see no harm in it.

I do not see this as 'crossing boundaries'.

As for me if a lady traveling to a new area contacting me privately would be okay as a one time thing.
Who knows, maybe I've been wanting to see her, but she is to far for my travels, and then she is coming to cities that I do business in., yes I would like to know she was planning to be there. It would give me the chance to see someone I had wanted to see but couldn't because of travel.

I think sending a PM is a great way to increase your business. Just don’t send generic PMs every other day.

ugh, I miss the bar game Originally Posted by offshoredrilling

As do I. I had a some great times at the A.C. Wasn't top shelf...but oh it could be fun.

I have no issue with getting a PM from a provider...especially if it is based off a comment or review I have done. Isn't that the reason we are here after all?
