Is there anyone else struggling with making bookings through WhatsApp?

Due to scammers, I have a WhatsApp tied to a number whose sim card I've already thrown away.

Looking for strategies for reaching out to ladies who don't use WhatsApp.

Same story here. I just don't book ladies that don't have WhatsApp.It's not even intentional.

I save ladies numbers with full intent to book if she meets my requirements. However, whenever I have a chance, I usually don't have a punting SIM card with, just WhatsApp so I book someone else that is available and on WhatsApp. Once I'm out the area it's forgotten so I never end up calling when I have the SIM card nearby. Not like it will help anyway, coz even if I call later to get details, I'll forget what we discussed on the phone or even who it was discussed with by the time I get around to potentially booking them again.

However, on WhatsApp. I usually have all the details from the enquiry when I saved her number already right there in front of me and usually her enticing marketing pics and availability on her status to quickly jump straight into making a booking when she's available. Don't need to then ask 10 wgs in the area their rates and if you do this and that which I need and location to see how feasible it is etc. I have the rates to know I'm happy to pay that price, I ga ethe services to know I can get what I want from her and I can actually check on Google Maps how far she is and how long it takes before even calling her again to make the booking so no time wasting.

No need to pain yourself trying to work around it man. There's plenty ladies around on your chosen communication method.

This is also one of my pet peeves..... but each to his/her own.

Just recently I received "Hello phone me tomorrow morning" in response to my very polite WhatsApp enquiry regarding rates and services.

Now here's my problem with this response.

I'm planning a trip to an area where I don't usually punt.

Obviously your profile and a few others caught my eye.

So much easier to cross reference info from the respondent's WhatsApps, than trying to remember details from several phone calls.

Only once I find what I'm looking for, do I call to confirm I have all my facts straight and to make final arrangements.

I've been punting a while, and this works for me, and I seldom deviate from my M O.
Im sure I might have missed out on some amazing punts, but so be it.
As I've said each to their own.

Hi Robert,

I will absolutely respond on WhatsApp, but you're also free to send a private message on this site, or give me a call. I mostly respond to smses, but would say that's the least successful avenue of communication for me x

You gotta keep that sim card just in case.

Had a lady that had network issues after I made the booking on WA. I left the punting sim at home and had to call her using my real number.

Lucky she wasn't a scammer (yet).

There is a serious pandemic taking place at present.

I have never ever experienced such high volumes of bullshit via whatsapp as of late.

What is happening????

It is putting advertisers and punters in a precarious position.

Advertisers losing bookings.

Punters feeling frustrated.

Tooooooooo many whatsapp messages sent of late where my sixth sense kicks in and I ask for a call via whatsapp simply because things in the conversation are not lining up.

Punters.....help us advertisers weed out the crap that we are facing and let's get back to making the whatsapp platform a sure way of making appointments.


And

Oh....FrecklesLover

"Lucky she wasn't a scammer (yet)."....that is uncalled for and I would label u an idiot if u used your personal phone and took the risk BELIEVING she may have the tendency of being a scammer.

Why the unnecessary toxicity?

Would you have preferred that I left the lady hanging since her WA was not working at the time?

Also, you do know how men's brains work right? All logic goes out the window when blood is rushing downwards.

I see you miss the point FrecklesLover

Quoting YOU

-Lucky she wasn't a scammer (yet).


What does that "yet" mean?

What are you implying?

Get it now.

Or

Still going above your head?


I would say the toxicity started with your word.. "yet".


Yes?


RB

I think I'll come me see you soon RB.

Your service must be out of this world if punters are still seeing you even with your lousy attitude on the forum.

Most are on WhatsApp, if she's not, I just move on to the next one on my radar. I also move on if she does not reply within 24hrs or doesn't answer a follow up question because if she gives poor service even before the booking it's likely she will give poor service during the booking.
