When I worked with my first agency, we posted our ads on CL. We would receive a huge burst of calls, with question and inquiries. People would seriously just look at the picture, and not even bother reading the ads! Sometimes they wouldn't even know a name. They would just call, ask for a description, ask where we were located...essentially, they wanted us to spout out the ads again over the phone, with additional answers to frivolous questions. There were a ton of hang-ups, or gentlemen saying "Oh, you're too far", "You're too expensive.", "I don't like black or Asian girls" "Can you lower your price to 170 for an hour out-call to Brampton/Hamilton/Mississagua/Scarborough/Richmond Hill?". Lots of haggling on the phone about prices, location or people that hung up for no reason.W3bster said:I'm no expert, but I would think most guys call with their mind already made up (after seeing pics, reviews, or just taking a leap). I'm not sure why guys would be calling and nothing happening other than for things falling through on the sp's end.
The number of calls would probably materialize into appointments: 1/10. Not all guys use review boards, or hobby enough to know of their existence. (I'm sure it would make the lives of ladies that advertise on CL much easier, if they could cross-reference them to the boards...)
What I say to Miss. Raven -- hustle! Work another job when things get slow, so you won't feel so frustrated.
