"Scheduling Same-Day Appointments"
 
I'm wondering how most gentlemen go about scheduling same-day appointments. And how most ladies prefer to receive inquiries for same-day appointments.

I've had a rash of gentlemen attempting to schedule same-day appointments by calling without leaving a message & then sending me an email, even though I state in my ad to call for same-day appointments instead of using email.

None of these scheduling attempts worked out. I don't have set days that I'm working, my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm out & about, going about my other business if I don't already have appointments scheduled. But I am not joined at the hip to my computer. And I never return phone calls if the caller doesn't leave a message (or doesn't tell me it's ok to call him back). So I didn't get the emails until several hours after they were sent, most times too late for the time frame the gentlemen was seeking an appointment for.

Can anyone suggest ways to lessen the chance of this happening again? I have internet access on my phone, and can check my personal email (gmail) on it, but can't get into the back-end of my website to check my work email.

Namaste,
Sahana the Sacred Sensualist

Hard to say you're doing anything wrong -- anyone trying to get a same-day appointment has to know that it's hit or miss, especially if they're calling but not leaving a message. (Seems pretty easy for someone looking for a same-day appointment to say, "I'm interested in an appointment today, I'm trying other women as well, please call me back if you have something, and if I haven't committed elsewhere maybe we can set something up.")

Only thing I can suggest would be to add something to your ad to that effect -- "Sometimes same-day appointments can be scheduled, but by phone rather than e-mail or inbox."

   My experience is that when it is indicated that calling is the
preferred way to schedule a same day appointment that some how
those words are invisible and are missed. LOl ..need to figure out how to do neon flashing signs indicating the directions for same day scheduling.

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

I have a "smart" phone so I can receive all emails from both my credit repair/estate planning business, massage business and personal email.

I can also go on the internet (anywhere) and check my RB inboxes as well.

My "stupid" Samsung "smart" phone is malfunctioning right now though and I can't send or recieve texts.

LOL it's always SOMETHING!

I have "Ghettro PCS" and handed over a $30 upgrade for a touch screen model at the local corporate store yesterday.

All of my regulars who text me must think I don't wub dem any-moe.

I am anxiously awaiting my new phone's arrival via UPS!

It's always Summer at my place! xoxo

   That stinks! I do ask in my ad for all same-day appointments to be made by phone. I have a dedicated work phone, so if someone calls me and I miss them and they don't leave a message, if its been a short time, I may call them back (especially if its someone I know). Other times, that feels intrusive, so I don't. I've been confused about this issue before (privacy, etc) but very often the gent has thanked me for calling back and we do end up setting up an appointment, so it seems like most find it okay. I'm just super careful with what I say if I do that.

Good luck!

Phone seems to be the best way to reach most providers for last minute/same day appts. Most guys seem to get that. However, whether to call back a gent who doesn't leave explicit permission is always iffy. I have had guys thank me for calling them back right away.. but I have also had guys thank me for NOT calling back w/o permission! Each situation is unique, of course, but I would say better safe than sorry.

   I set a time that I am taking appt. So from 8am-5pm I have to stay at home.
I used to be on call till 9pm at night back in the day and it drove me nuts. I had to drop what ever I was doing and rush to my studio.

A rushed massage therapist is not a good thing makes the flow of your hands a lil fast till u slow down and ground. I like to have at least 20 min before the massage to get good healing energy flowing.

I get bored but I find things to do from home to keep me busy till I have an appt. I only take two a day so it leaves me lots of time to study and do some yoga, smoke some tree, and give the best kick butt deep tissue massage I can give.

I believe that you should be able to get any email on your phone. You just need to have the right server info. Ask the people who run your website what that info is, and then ask your telephone provider how to set the phone up to receive that email address, using that server info.

But, if your ad says to call for same day appointments, you have done all you can and it is up to the guys to make it happen.

I have "ghettro pcs" (I usually refer to it as "metro PieCe of Shit"). I am the person that runs my website, so I have the server info. The problem is that on the "non-smart" phones, the metroweb can be picky about which websites it accesses.

I just feel weird about calling back someone who hasn't left a message. My mind always thinks he hung up because someone suddenly came into the room.

I just bolded the "call for sameday appointments instead of email" in my personal ad. I hate to use all caps, so I'm not sure how to make it more noticeable in my classified.

Ah well, you're right that I can't really make them follow my stated preferred process. It's just so frustrating.

Namaste,

Wow my hat is off and I admire the ladies who have the patience to deal with same-day requests. I just don't do it. It is crazy-making to me to try to get a reference response that fast or to try fitting in an impromptu session into my already heavily scheduled life. I have a Blackberry (some would say crackberry lol) and cannot get into my) RB inbox from it so I had to disable my inbox ;((

It is hard enough with my a.d.d., just keeping up with stuff that is scheduled! The ladies here, many of whom are so much more organized than myself, and truly good business women, have my utmost respect, sincerely.
