i started with an "agency" and just recently became independent. it's a lot harder than i thought it would be! i am having the hardest time juggling emails, texts, random calls and the screening and the scheduling and on top of that going to work!
how do you get people to pre book? i have put it in my ad that i have limited availability and people should pre book but i don't think anyone pays attention.
how do you determine outcall rates? i charge based on distance which a few customers have balked at but driving for almost and hour vs 10 mins is a big chunk of my time.
if you are going to book a hotel what name do you use? if a customer calls the hotel wanting to speak with bubbles in room 112 and they have sally jones as the registered guest will they tell him? would it draw too much unwanted attention to tell them bubbles is a nickname?
ok last thing - how did you come up with the text for your ad? i can't bring myself to be super coy or sexy. currently i just state my stats, ethnic mix and info about booking. i just wanted something up so i could start working a little bit. i want to start the main one the beginning of the month. anyways, i hate what the agency had written for me and i hate what i've written about myself. i can't find the happy medium between i'm smart but sexy and wanna play! ya know?
anyways, any suggestions, advice would be really helpful!
