better communication

My thesis is that even really good providers don’t provide good customer service, or communicate as well as they should. Especially in a service industry, good customer service translates to bucks on the bottom line.
Here’s my evidence.
I have a local favorite (Elmira area). I have seen her a number of times. I make an appointment, then confirm at lunch of the day, and see her after work. I had an appointment, texted to confirm, no answer. Texted again mid afternoon – no answer. Texted after work – no answer. Texted a couple times in the next week, and the following week. No answer.
Had a new appointment with her recently. Texted at lunch to confirm. No answer. Texted later, no answer. Finally got text that appointment was cancelled.
She had good reasons. The first time, the family took a weeks vacation. The second time, a relative died. The last time, she fell off her goats picnic table. All reasonable excuses (yes, even the goat thing – you have to know her). But I didn’t know them. I only knew I couldn’t get in touch.
My wife went out of town unexpectedly. There is a provider in Rochester I have wanted to see for years. She is older, but gorgeous in my eyes, and according to reviews, she has great skills. So I jumped on the opportunity, and sent a text, a week in advance. No reply. Sent another. Then an e-mail, then an IM. Maybe too desperate, but I was desperate. I am getting older, and there is only so much Viagra you can take without getting Pinocchio nose. So if I don’t see her soon, I might as well just hide in the shrubs and take pics. Finally got a text that she was unavailable. I replied, and asked for an appointment the next week (wife was gone 2 weekends). Never got a reply.
Had another appointment – different provider. I was told to confirm in the AM, which I did. No reply. Texted a couple more times over hours. No response. Finally got a reply a half hour after appointment time. She had an emergency and couldn’t make it, and recommended someone else.
Now there are lots of reasons you can’t answer a text. “My panties spontaneously combusted, and I couldn’t get the firemen to leave!” “Found out mom was a cannibal, and that explained dad’s wooden leg”. “Dropped the phone in the toilet while pooping, and didn’t want to pick it out”. (Lesson – if you text while pooping, close your legs). And I have heard all the easy ones, and probably you have too. “Didn’t see your text”. “Accidently erased it”. “Ran out of minutes”. “Phone broke”.
Maybe I am just annoying (ok, probably I am), but my communications have been so simple it is hard to believe they were too offensive (I admit the quantity might have been off-putting for the Rochester provider). And I have read repeatedly on ECCIE that other guys have talked about having a hard time contacting a provider. "We kept missing each other".
But it is almost as easy to reply to a text as it is to ignore one, and it shows some caring about the customer.
So I have a solution.
I think providers should get together – 6 to 10 in a group – and they should hire a personal assistant. PA is in charge of scheduling and replies, and the provider just watches the shopping channel, and makes winkies happy. (you all call it a winkie don't you?)

Hey Ribs, pity you have fallen upon hard times what kind of deodorant are you using?Just curious cuz I will certainly avoid buying that brand, and could you please elaborate on the pinocchio nose thing,tell me it isnt true that if you take a viagara and dont subsequently pop a load that makes your nose grow bigger, damn, where did I put that mirror. Oh, and one last thing, it appears you have been around about 6 years with only 22 posts, you are indeed a funny guy and I for one would like to see more of your witty verbiage more than 3.6 times per year Lc

I don't think they smell BO in a text, but you never know. I haven't posted much because Corning is a small town, and I want to stay under the radar. And if the providers read my posts, they may all quit seeing me.

Actually been having a pretty good time. It is just strange to me how many non-replies I have had.

And the little Chinese girl I made due with when my appointment was cancelled was really appreciative of the roses and godiva chocolates that were supposed to go to the provider that cancelled. I don't think anyone normally give her presents. She kept humming all through the visit.

Or maybe that was her technique - I liked it!

I meant to say I live in Schenectady Scenectady Shenectady, uh Albany. Definitely not Corning.

Do you blow glass?

We don't do that in Albany.

Yes, many girls who do this are not great at responding on a timely basis consistently. There are, however, some girls who pride themselves on TCB.

BTW, do you recommend your favorite?

I also have contemplated why it is easy for some providers, even those guys label a provider their ATF to just blow off communication.
I think at some point all gents have had the no response event occur to them. I know its happen to me quite a few times.
One the flip side of this providers deal with consistent cancellations, haggling of prices, scumbags and clients wanting champagne service on a beer budget .

My two cents is to just keep it moving, don't take it personally. Like all industries built on supply and demand use your purchasing power to acquire new talent for your carnal needs. Small town or not.....YOU have options

I've experienced a bit of this myself, and even as a younger man (not that young) I find times when rubbing one out just won't do. I'll put my feelers out to see who's around and hope I land a response. Back in the dark ages of my BP days, I might just go post to post to see if anyone is responding. More often than not I wouldn't end up meeting anyone cause something or other wasn't right.

I feel there is another rule that applies to providers, much like the girlfriend axiom where girls will start hitting on you only after you gotten into a relationship (or so I've heard). Providers seem to only want to respond after you've got one to make plans with, then leaving you with the hobbyist equivalent of Sophie's choice. So you have to go with the excuses yourself in order to not get blacklisted. Cheesy sitcom shit with a real life seedy twist. I'm still trying to work out how I can see two girls at once without them knowing.

The NCNS is part of the business. If that's the worse thing to happens to you then you're not doing too bad. There's a lot worse out there.

I've also been through the Sophie's choice bullshit, but tend to go with the confirmed appointment because when I used to flake, that provider would always flake on me and I'd be left with nothing.

There is no other industry out there where it's hard to spend your money!
