Just wondering from other Terbites how long they would wait for a response or reaching out again.
How long would you wait for a response after contacting a SP?
- Thread starter knownbuyer5
- Start date
60 minutes..then I move to option 2...then option 3...after that I pack it in for the day and hope for a playmate the next time I wanna play.
I was kinda curious about the general consensus here. I usually give 3 days and then move on but the past two times, I had them reach out between 4-7 days and got something scheduled. Granted, when contacting indys, I always schedule about a month in advanced
For indy's I will give a couple days max. If I don't hear anything back I rarely follow up and just contact someone else. Sometimes I do get a response back a week after my initial message but by then I already booked someone else I want to see. For agencies I usually just book the day of. I rarely pre-book with agencies.
Same day appointments an hr and I'll text again. If nothing after a few hrs I'll text another SP.
With pre booking I'll wait a day and follow up the next day if nothing I'll message someone else. Now I usually message when I see an add and know they are working.

I think it's bad etiquette, but some Indy's won't respond unless you have a solid booking in hand . . . . 
How about this below as a guide for everyone. Of course this depends on your schedule ( client) say you are alone for 3 hours then 30 mins or less and move on if you need that quickie. I going to assume you seen her before. If not the time may have to change. Remember her personal schedule can happen out of no where.
Tier 1 - Agency 1-2 hours max, also same for traveling SP and places an Ad here, today or yesterday I give it the same time or 5 hours.
Tier 2 - Traveling SP well known, gives her schedule in 2-4 weeks advanced, one week / 7 days max waiting.
Tier 3 - Local SP with website if not on Vacation, I doubt you can get in within 1-3 days booking so I say max 24-36 hours. If popular if not 12- 24 hours time limit.
Tier 4 - Traveling SP but find out she is in your area 12- 24 hours if booking 2-3 days ahead, but same day or tomorrow booking 5 hours is plenty.
Tier 5 - Local SP with website if not on Vacation, I doubt you can get in within 1-3 days booking so I say max week. If booking for next month.
Tier 6 if you are traveling you should have booked in advance but couldn't because of scheduling use same guide line as above. No different treatment than the other fellow.
