A Little Something For The NonMembers/Lurkers

[Guest072118]

You have to accept some wont read, its the way it is. I have the same thing happen for my 'day' business. I have pages dedicated to the answers they are looking for loud and clear on my site.

The hobby is no different, its just a business thing...

Also if your ads/showcase are a wall of text...people just wont read it. Short and sweet. Less is more. Include the most important info in the first few lines of text.(I didnt look at your showcase or ads, just marketing talk, its part of my 'day' job. haha)

Agreed, goes with the territory. I've had days where I just get annoyed with the "hey are you available now" messages no introduction or necessary information. But I roll my eyes and respond as politely as I can while thinking to myself this beats my old nursing home job hands down.

When it comes up in conversation I always say this lifestyle isn't always as glamorous as some would think, but it's also nowhere near as bad as others would think too. Gotta take the good with the bad.

Its not that I'm busy, its just repetitive.
Like I said maybe I was just a bit Grrr with everything yesterday.

All they need to do is look down to how to get verified. It's that simple.

I agree it does come with the territory.
I do the same, always a polite & professional response. But that does not mean its not annoying.

Think I just needed to rant a bit.

OK gotcha. I understand the annoyance factor of repeating the same thing day after day to different people. I feel your pain. Nothing wrong with a little venting, better to do that here than on the phone with a potential customer.

Thanks for understanding
Some gentlemen around seem to not have that capability.

People that work in technical jobs that have to support those who don't have a saying: RTFB. It stands for "Read The Fucking Book."

'Cuz usually...all the answers are already there. Ya' just need to look at the damn instructions.

So it sounds like you gals need a new abbreviation: RTFA (the "A" for "Ad"). You could just text that back to them and all yer problems are solved!

Oops, sorry stupid phone

I think the main issue is with new clients attempting to set up a meeting, those who have met you before, or are regulars, this thread doesn't apply.
