Lack of consideration by SPs in replying to email

[Mtl_Expat]

What does it take to get a reply from an SP in Ottawa? Whether EC or CL, I've had numerous SPs not reply to email queries - or others take several days to reply to simple questions about approximate locations and rates. Others don't return phone calls - and yes, I'm using an unblocked line (pay as you go phones, paid in cash, are very handy...)

While I'm sure there are many dilettantes who never follow through, you'd think most SPs would have a canned email reply to deal with the common questions.

Or maybe I'm just becoming increasingly curmudgeonly as I get older...

First...I would not count CL as a reliable source for entertainement and consider those emails a lost cause....

As for the ones from EC........my question would be how many emails are you talking about.....5...10....20......and how many replied?

With our limited number of providers here in Ottawa.....we keep them busy....I guess.....

OMG - I so totally agree. This has been a huge complaint of mine. And I'm talking a lot of emails. It's not isolated. I do not get how they cannot provide some standard responses to some standard questions. How hard is that?

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone for feeling this frustration.

If you are asking sexual questions, most providers will not answer them period. Its hard enough to go through 40 nor 50 emails a day, the perverted question ones go into the trash as soon as I see "do you do BBBJ????"

If you want to ask that, ask in person because your miliage will vary

Trust me - my emails are as vague and generic as you can imagine. Personally I just don't understand making the effort to post the advertisement and then not respond or to respond hit and miss. While I understand 40-50 emails a day is tough (and I get double to triple that at my day job) it's also the price of business. I shake my head but then again I know my expectations are wrong -- many of these ladies are not "business oriented" and to expect even a courtesy response is not fair. What I laugh at is when they do respond but do not provide sufficient information to take the process to the next step. Anyhoo......
