No matter how often I put all that information in my ads as well as my showcase, I probably only get about 1-2 a week that actually provide me with their actual booking information.
I don't understand why it is so hard to say, "Hi, my name is John, my handle is xyz,(include phone number if using email or PM) I'm interested in booking with you on Monday for an hour between 10-2 if you're available. My references are providers A, B, and C. I'd love to hear back from you soon!"
That makes me process them almost as fast as I would a P411 client!
And also makes me have much more respect for them.
Any guy who has been in the hobby for a while should have this system down, no problem.

it's often not that common knowledge.
seriously, there ought to be a sticky for guys about how to request an appt, similar to the stickies for providers about how to join, get verified, and post ads.
angie's short example has the kind of info she would like to see. i imagine other providers have similar examples.
bottom line, ...
* providers - pls provide sufficient info so a prospective client knows kinda where you are, kinda when you're available, kinda what you offer, your fees, info needed for screening & requesting an appt, and best way to contact you.
* clients - pls provide sufficient info so a provider can carry out her screening (if necessary) and get back to you w/ whether she's available or not.
