As an adult entertainer, you may have asked yourself whether you should screen new clients or not.

The answer is: Absolutely. Every single time.

Screening is crucial for your safety and also for your client’s safety as well. By showing that you never skip the screening process, you are letting your clients know you take your business seriously.

You are professional. As a professional, you are ensuring that your clients are decent citizens coming to see you for the reasons they are stating.
The good news is, screening doesn’t have to be a headache. However, it does take a bit of work and some creativity on your part.

The screening process you should be taking for your potential new clients is ever evolving. When scammers and abusers get wise to the latest techniques being used to identify them, they come up with new ways to sneak through your clever screening process.

For this reason, many of more sophisticated methods are kept as “insider” secrets by ladies in the industry. Out of respect for this we will not reveal these deeper secrets of screening in this report, as this will dilute their effectiveness.

Rest assured however, the simple screening process described in this article will help keep you safe.

The first part of the screening process involves requesting information from your potential new client.

Now as you may suspect, many clients feel resistant about giving you information about themselves. So, part of your job when asking for this information is to make them feel comfortable.

Let them know this is a completely standard procedure that all upscale escorts require. Remind them that it’s for their safety as well. You can understand why they may be a little anxious about giving you their information. It’s ok. You don’t need much.

Here is what you should be getting, at minimum, from every potential client:

1. Real name
Their full legal name.
Preferably, with the middle initial.

2. Phone number
At least one.
Preferably, both home and cell.

3. Email address
At least one.
Preferably, their primary email address.

4. Where they got your information from
Eros ad, P411, your website?
Please don’t say Craigslist!

5. Two references
You’ll want to know when and where these visits took place. Ask them to give some unique details about your potential client’s appearance. Also ask for some innocent details about the visits themselves that may have stuck out to use as a reference.

Got the info? Good.
Now it’s time to put on your detective hat.

You want to search for clues to verify your potential client is, in fact, who they are claiming to be.

Two themes to look for:
- Look for consistency.
- Look for any information you can dig up that is more than a year old.

A good indication that you are dealing with a scammer:
- There is absolutely nothing about them online.
- Everything you find was just created recently.

So, first step, head on over to Google.com.

Take their real name, address, and phone number, go to Google and run searches on this information.

Be sure to use quotes around variations of their information, like this:
“John Smith”
“Smith, John”
“555 444-1234″
“(555) 444-1234″

This tells Google that you want to find this text exactly as you typed it. Look for older forum posts, business websites, comments in blogs, etc.

What did you find reveal?

Another site where people frequently have their information stored is Amazon.com.
Go over to Amazon People Search and do a search on their name and email address.

If you find their profile, check out their wish list. What is the date on the oldest item on it? What kind of items are on it? You can tell a lot from a person by what they like to read and purchase.

Next stop, eBay.com. Go to eBay Member Search and search for their email address(you will need to be a member of eBay to do this).

If you find their User ID on eBay, it will say right away how long they have been a member for and where they are located. Click on their User ID and check out the kinds of things they like to bid on.

Anything creepy?

Now, last but certainly not least, get in touch with the references your potential client provided. Jog their memory with the extra details you requested.

It’s one thing to ask,“Hey Sally, do you remember John Smith from Atlanta?”

And quite another to write,“Sally, do you remember John Smith from Atlanta that you met in April of last year at the Sundial restaurant? He said it was pouring rain when you left. I looked up information on him and he has a bunch of computer books on his Amazon wish-list so I am thinking he is an engineer of some sort. Thanks Sally.”

Once you hear back from both of the references you should have uncovered enough information about your potential client to make an informed decision on whether or not it is safe to see them. On top of that, you have also most likely gained some valuable insight into what your client is like as a person. This can really help you increase your connection with your client and help make them feel very special.

This results in happier clients who speak highly of you and come back again and again.
