These questions are for traveling ladies:
Suppose a bunch of guys in a city asks a particular girl to visit their city. What would make it a successful trip for her? What would make it a bust?
People say guys will cancel once she is there. Is there a solution to minimize cancellations?
Do traveling ladies get more money pre-booking appointments in advance or posting ads shortly before she gets to the city?

I'll try to answer in order...
1. Depends on the city and the cost of visiting said city. Some cities are way less expensive. From a touring perspective, it is relatively cheap to come to Dallas. You can get a nice 4 star hotel for under $100/night. Boston on the other hand, will run you $250-$300 per night for a nice 3.5-4 star hotel. In order for me to consider a trip successful, I have to make what I could make at home, plus expenses, plus $500 for the trouble and hassle of traveling. But, as long as I break even on expenses plus what I would have made at home, I'm ok with the trip as a whole.
2. There really isn't an effective solution to the cancellation issue. On P411, if you put a cancellation policy in writing and they book via the "Schedule an Appointment" feature, Gina will step in on helping to collect (I believe). But the policy MUST be in writing and must be specific.
3. I couldn't tell you a good answer on this one. I don't collect a fee to prebook-- but I do base my travel decisions on them. In order for me to make the trip, my expenses have to be covered by the prebooks, knowing full well I will generally book more appointments once I've arrived. If I cannot cover my expenses before I leave home, I won't leave home.

The biggest issue was cancellation, and you gave us the solution.
Thank you GracePreston.

I'll try to answer in order...If you can make as much as you would at home, and pay for the whole trip, that is a winner. Plus, you can vacation a little on the side.
