The P411 "available now" is only good IF you are the FIRST guy that responds. once she gets a call/visit, that available now ad stays there for an hour even though she is now busy. The second, third, and forth guy don't get in.
IMHO, those ladies are pricing themselves out of those clients which they have all ready seen and are good guy's. Instead they are risking seeing a BAD client at a higher rate. . . .

So while we understand that "Available now" is much quicker for ladies to land a quick appointment for a time she's available -
why wouldn't someone reach out to a Good Guy (a Great client, if we haven't seen each other for a while), to see if we were around?
When the ghosting (or non responsiveness to reaching out) occurs to a
good client - I just scratch my head. Others I know have had similar experiences as well. I don't get it, would love to see more ladies respond on this.
It is understood there are no strict guidelines or rules about whom should reach out first. Obviously men will generally reach out to ladies first. Instead - I am referring to warm, consistent, Good client relationships, ATF's where you've seen each other frequently and with regularity.
My example - Anybody who has seen me
multiple times (
that I see regularly, and we have discussed I am a good client) knows that my schedule is fairly open (not always, but generally), and
I 100% ALWAYS, positively respond with an appt if one of my favorites reaches out to me. If not immediately for their "available now" time, then it will be
SOON. Always.
So while we realize there are a LOT of goombahs and guys out there, but - if we are ATF's, see each other regularly, great clients, why wouldn't someone take advantage of this, knowing that we would continue to see them regularly? (guaranteed business, improved relationship, more fun, etc.)
Sorry for getting on a soapbox, but this always makes me wonder why?
CAVEATS: - I am referring to Great client relationship situations, where we see each other very regularly, and it is discussed that we are comfortable with each other.
- I am referring to situations if the lady has cancelled on me beforehand, we haven't seen each other in a few weeks, something like that. NOT a situation where we just saw each other recently (or too soon before our normal intervals of visits)
- It is understood that I (or most guys) cannot meet every time, or every day someone is "available". Most of us have space/time between visits. Perfectly understandable there are other clients more readily available at the available time.
- It is also understood this discussion is not relevant to someone we have rarely seen, or seem months (or years) beforehand.
