Random text from SP's

[sweetiepieexo]

It is never ok for an sp to send unsolicited texts to anyone unless they say it is ok. This is for obvious reasons. People are at work, home with their family or just busy living their lives. Usually clients will tell me if and when it is ok for me to text them back. If not I usually try to respond within the first hour.

Charlotte- I agree with your post however some sps do have regulars that don't care if the sp texts them when they are available because they have said it is ok..


so I guess the point is - if you say it is ok ; u cant blame the sp. If you didn't say its ok and shes still texting you should probably block her number or tell her to stop.

I have clients I know I can text, I still email.

I also prefer for the most part that clients, who have my number, email me as well.

You never know what a person is doing when they get a text message. For the most part, even through email is instant now too with the use of smartphones, you can still choose to open your email when you want. A lot of people don't turn off their text notifcations, so those highlights pop up and people can see and read. If I am in a meeting, I am not looking to have a text pop up on my screen saying "Hey Jess, horny for you, can we set up an appointment?" Or worse, " have their {requested} dick pic flash up on my screen.

The selling of DBs though - wrong wrong wrong. On so many levels it is wrong. I don't like it in the mainstream either but seriously, in this industry. Cold calling men from a client DB, that is some crazy shit right there. And if I am being honest, I am getting a little sick and tired of unprofessional ladies giving the rest of us a bad name.

The bottom line for me is that there should be no unsolicited communication (text or email) unless there is an agreement (including protocol) between you and the particular provider. This goes both ways. I would never text or email a provider out of the blue unless they said it is ok because they have private lives too. And if a provider texts or emails me outside of what we've agreed, I will think twice before seeing them again. But if you have a protocol and a shared respect for privacy (this especially applies if you have an SO) then the risks are acceptable, IMO.
