No Correction Needed. . . You're Not Wrong!
[QUOTE=Pinoboy;3455514][b]Correct Me If I'm Wrong...[/b] But, 3 letter word searches do not yield any results due to too few characters. That is why I think if providers wish to have more exposure to potential new clients seeking information on them then they should stay away from using 3 letter names.[/QUOTE]I confirmed, long ago when still new to this thread, that I couldn't "search" on the mysterious (to me, at the time) secret code letters of "CB" or "BB". It took me a considerable amount of time reading through what must have been 40 or 50 pages of the thread to find someone that actually deciphered those letters, for the benefit of noobs! Then I ran into the SAME condition when trying to search on "Gia", which produced no results due to the "too few characters" annoyance. Thanks to Gent100 for the link, a few posts down, which at least makes it easy to find her contact info. But otherwise. . . YES, I think your point is well taken that providers with very short names may be unknowingly missing out on what is probably only a small number of opportunities for new or additional business! I say "small number" because I'm not so tunnel-visioned as to think that this board, with its search limitation, is the ONLY place from which providers collect their clients. In any case, I'd like to find a way to hunt down all recent (12 months worth) review posts about Gia so I could get a better picture of what to expect. C'est la vie!
Yes I agree providers are on here.
I have had PM messages get back to the providers. But just a part of this I guess. Anyone know of the benefits of being an Informant to a provider?
[QUOTE=IndianRiver;3457243]I my option, I would guess that at least half the providers are already on the board. I know of several that read the board all the time. Some will say "what board". In reality they ALL know about the board. If I was a provider I would be on it to see what others are saying about me.[/QUOTE]
Drive-Thru's, a Tip, and a "new" place
These posts remind me of the Drive-Thru Strip Club in Pennsylvania! It's now closed, but it was a definite no-grind zone. Anyway, it sucks how these places are getting busy. I've been lucky for the most part in that there's rarely a wait / bunch of cars when I go and it's typically in the 7:30-8:00 p time frame in the Orlando Area. I find if I go too close to closing, they may not offer a full hour. Thanks for any info on times. Maybe I'll plan a CB Trip on Super Bowl Sunday at 6:30 pm.
One tip that seems to work when trying a new place and they ask if you've been there before (especially with a truly "New" place), is to say you're a regular at another place, but this one is closer and you've heard good things. I've been doing this for years and I think I only left without any Ending once or twice. And I have rarely repeated as travelling around to different cities makes it difficult.
For any others on the East Side of 50, about 1 mile past the end of the 408 heading West towards Bithlo, there's a small plaza on the left that has a massage place? Has anyone checked out this place? I'm not sure how new it is and have yet to see an ad on BP.
