Hi Ladies!
Okay, theres a site called SafeOffice that I got turned onto last month, and I fell in love on day one... Im going to sound like Im shilling, but its rare I come on here and say stuff about a place so trust me, this is coming from the heart
Its not a community, its strictly a resource for our business, and the site is hosted offshore, not in the US. I forget where, I can ask to make sure though! But basically, providers are verified before they allowed access, and there is a free and paid area.
In the free area, providers can access the blacklist, which is a compilation of blacklists online, like the national database and others. I notice the ones from VH are not in there, but I think if you blacklist someone anywhere else, it will get gathered and put into SafeOffice... I sort of figured that out when my blacklist entries were getting doubled up, so now I post my blacklists as usual everywhere else, and SO picks it up. The convenient thing is, when you search for someone, instead of having to go through several lists, you only really need to check SO and VH.
One of my fav things also in the free area is the hotel reviews...in it, you can find reviews of hotels that tell you everything from whether a hotel has key card entry / elevator entry to if theres any places to eat within walking distance and other stuff that are important to us to know, that you wont find in regular hotel reviews. All that info is from providers..so the more of us that put that info in, the more helpful it will be. When I write a review, I also include where in the hotel the elevators are located, so that theres a heads up for a lady if shes visiting a hotel outcall.
In the paid section, you can have a database of yoru clients, with their info, and you can also keep a schedule in there. What I like about this is, it links the schedule to the client info..so when you click on a client, you can see right off how many dates youve had, what they paid you, any notes about the date etc on one page. You can also run reports, like for the year when doing your taxes to see how much you earned. I think it would also be helpful for those who have assistants, since you can have one other person access your account, your assistant can put in date info or any screening info and both of you can keep track of that info.
For the paid area, its $20/mth, payable by cc or moneypak, and if you pay by the quarter or by the year theres a discount on the per month rate.
Okay, thats it!!! At least off the top of my head, thats all I can think of...those are the features that I use, and if I ever actually get enough business to hire an assistantI think it will come in handy. Hope this helps someone!!!
