My question to gentlemen : how long does it take you to decide to book a specific provider? I know that for example, when looking on leolist, clients are looking for something quick and easy.. But I've noticed that many clients take their time to book an indy. What determines your decision? What are some things that convince you, and what are some deal breakers for you?
Not being a frequent flyer, it can take weeks to do so.
Looking for reviews is key, I've almost been scammed on one occasion, so if I can't find reviews for an SP, I don't proceed with introductions.
Rate matters, a balance between not too cheap (scary) and not too pricey - as I'm not able to sum up hidden $$ so easily.
When there are good reviews on the general behavior and services, body features seem right, then I try to engage into conversation to see if there's a fit between services and experience desired.
I'm saying that, and on the other hand, I only had one real appointment with a good indy so far.. but that's how it worked well and cleared the other less fortunate events I had before. And this is how I'm currently processing my next windows of opportunity coming up soon.
Now, I wonder.. how different it is / would be with agencies vs indy!?
