I've elected to put this in the coed section hoping to more providers will read this vs the girly sections.
I'm all about giving refs. Granted, sometimes I may not realize that a provider has called and so yes, I HAVE missed a chance to give a ref, but NEVER on purpose. Until last night.
I got a text (which I really don't like from providers for refs, but I will answer).
It was from a Austin number.
The provider wanted to verify a hobbyist (gave me his name).
The provider didn't say hi, please or thank you. Hell, she didn't even tell me who she was.
That by far was the laziest thing I have ever seen.
This is how I look at it....
If a provider, can't give me basic info, like telling me who she is (and I don't need a please or thank you, but it DOES get you a super fast response. Respect goes along way) than, sorry, I'm not going to burn the calories to even respond to that text.
Ladies, don't get so lazy that you send lame text wanting a ref and not included who you are. I mean, for all we know, it could be L.E, or a wife. If it is YOU who is going to earn the money off the appt, then it should be YOU who makes sure that you get all the info needed to the provider who you need a ref from. Had she at least told me her name, I would text back and asked her to pm me (without naming this site) so I could verify she is a legit provider.
Yes, I could have answered her asking who she is. Yes, I could have googled her number but if she is that lazy in seeking a ref, then I'm NOT going to jump through hoop trying helping her out.
It may sound bitchy...
Ladies, if you want a ref from a provider. It is advisable to let her know WHO she is talking to and please try to include as much info about the hobbyist you want a ref about. Remember, getting a ref is not something a provider HAS to do (but should do). So make it easy for her to get back with you. After all, it is YOU who will be making the money off the appt, NOT her therefore, YOU should do all the work needed, NOT HER.
So if your the provider who sent me the text last night, please feel free to pm me and I will be more then happy to answer. Otherwise, unless I know who I'm talking to, you're not going to get a response.
