Reference Checks

Princess Leah's Avatar
A lot of us use provider references when screening, & I can say from experience that not all providers will respond to reference checks as a lot of them are “too busy” or don’t want to lose their clients. FELLAS, please let your references know that you will be using them as a reference. Please use RECENT references as it’s harder to verify someone you saw 5 years ago. To any clients that I have seen please let me know if you need me to send you a P411 invitation.

To the providers that reply to reference checks thank you very much.

Miss Leah!! A few providers and I.. (w here I live)were just having a convo about this very subject.. and you my dear ..in one paragraph may I add.. totally nailed it!!

There is no written rule or expected protocol on giving references.. or seeking references for that matter. But it is a courtesy.

I would like to take this opportunity on Princess Leah's thread to thank the ladies in upstate n.y... and a huge thank you to the ladies in San Antonio for helping me.. well with everything.. and gentlemen thank you as well!!!
See you soon!! "Ya all".lol..
Did I do that correctly Miss Fran.
I am ALWAYS reference friendly and will respond!

Ladies, please email me for refs after Wednesday. I will be unavailable until May but I will still be on the board checking for PMs and socializing. Lovelyevelyn@protonmail.com

Thank you to the ladies who do actually respond. The others.... Tsk!
My favorite provider of all time didn't ask for references. I asked her on my first visit why, and she just smiled and said she did her homework.
You do have 42 references. Also, we have other ways to screen. ��

Or she took a chance. Glad it worked out!
Looking for a provider/regular that is reference friendly and responds promptly.

The gent can also take the initiative by requesting the reference himself. Some time back when I wanted to see a local legend I sent Pm's to the last three providers I'd seen with contact info for the local legend.

It was as simple as:

Dear ______,

I've requested an appt. with local legend. Would you be so kind as to send a reference for me for our 2 hour session on such and such date? I had a great time -- hopefully you remember our visit well enough to send comment. Here is her contact info: _________________

(if local legend is an ECCIE member)

Or you can just forward this PM to local legend with a short note from yourself.

Thanks so much.

Hi Johnny and everyone for that matter!!.
I also wanted to add that when I entertain an active hobbiest..I immediately let them know that ( And this is if they are the " loves variety type gent " ).I let them know that I will be more than happy to give them a thumbs up reference..and yes a fella letting a provider know ahead of time.." so and so" will be contacting you.. are you reference friendly.. is one step saved for those of us that require a reference..
The only detail I do not wish a newbie to provide me with.. is a their reference girls contact information.. I accepted that one time and one time only and found out it was a number of his own and that there was no girl on the other end of the phone.
I would rather from this point do my own homework and find out what I need to find out being a low-volume provider most of the time I have the time to do that and I wish to do that.
Oh yes honey. I only PM the other ladies. If their number is listed on their showcase, that's what I'll use. I don't ever pay attention to the numbers they provide

Yes Evelyn..I did feel pretty foolish .. did one of those " slap your forehead" and say " aww man Sindi!!"
At the time that I was conversing with the alias reference.. having no idea it was him!!

Then when I figured it out!! Some time went by..He texts me and says " well what did Sara say about me?" And asks me "Are we good?"
I replied " So very sorry honey..Sara.. your reference..she says your a douche bag"
Haven't heard from him since!! Lol

I've been out of the country for a while, what the best way to renew references if everyone requires them.

Unfortunately, you only have one review and that is of a lady who’s account is no longer active. Unless you have and use a P411 account, you’ll need to start over. Contact several ladies who are Newbie Friendly, found here: https://eccie.net/showthread.php?t=1197311.

Work with those who respond on their screening. As mentioned above, before you leave the session be sure to ask each lady if they will provide a reference for you. Then write and post your reviews. Following these steps will make many more doors - and legs - open for you.

Welcome back! Have fun and stay safe!
