Over 100 Pretoria SP's are advertising there this morning. This is about double the number for an average day. Why?

Could be because it is the middle of the month so business is slow?

Got to agree. 50% don't even answer their phones or reply to messages yet they're "available now" on ESA and probably online on WhatsApp too.

Then 40% are not actually available and just try to propose another inconvenient time or day to book.

Then you got 10% remaining and 9% of them are probably not wgs you wanna book so you're left with 1% and 0.5% of those don't offer what you want or are smoking their socks with rates so you're left trying call and messaging all those wgs from "available now" trying to find that 0.5% that's actually available and does what you want at a decent price.

The "available now" is a joke really.

I am of the opinion that it is just another spin to the 'bump to top' marketing strategy. They may not necessarily be available for bookings right away but they made you look.

Agree with everything you guys have said, at the same time the number increases dramatically during the middle of the month. This seems to indicate that bookings are harder to get.
