This is more of a question for the ladies but the guys are welcome to chime in with their opinions. Since I've been in the biz for a while now (on and off), you'd think I'd have figured this out by now but it still occasionally causes me problems...
When I have made a booking with a client for outcall to his hotel, sometimes I am not given the room number until practically the last minute. I understand that it is because often, the client is coming straight from the airport (or wherever he's coming from) and he is not checking in until close to the time of our date. Obviously, he can't give me the room number until he knows it himself (understandable). However, the problem arises when I make my way to the hotel in time for the appointment and then I never get the phone call that I am patiently awaiting. Mind you, this doesn't happen very often but it does happen.
If a client has an appointment for 8 pm and he says he'll call me between 7:30 and 7:45 with the room number, I will tell him that I will not leave my house (or wherever I am) until I have the room number first. I don't like to sound harsh but some of us ladies have to book drivers etc. I know for a fact that some drivers will not even pick up the lady to take her to a call if she does not have the room number.
Not a big deal if the hotel is downtown because I can get there quickly, but if it's out at the airport, Mississauga, Markham etc. it becomes a real issue because I need ample time to get to these areas. I cannot be expected to head out to these areas without a room number, can I?
