I'm still new here, so please excuse me if this question has been around the block a few times:
? How long should a client wait to hear from a provider that he's contacted? I fully understand that some providers are a lot busier than others; some providers are busy with RL jobs or other RL stuff; some providers don't do this full time. I also understand that a provider wouldn't answer right away if they are already with a client (I would hope not!)
If I text a prospective provider and don't hear back from her after three days, should I assume:
a. She's forgotten about my text/pm; or
b. She's opting not to see me.
If it's (a) then do I continue to contact her?
If it's (b) then I'd rather she tell me so.
Thoughts?
Also, am I correct when I say some providers answer clients right away if they are available that day. If they are not available, then they just wait til the next day to see who calls. Previous requests are just ignored. In other words, is it a matter of luck to call/text at the right time?
I usually plan my visits several days in advance/even a week away. Many of us married guys have only a short window of opportunity.
Thanks for your thoughts!
