When I first came to this community I didn't know what to expect. Two of the pros I browsed contacted me within 48 hours and were EXTREMELY polite and professional. They both answered many questions and even though one was 8 states away from me she made me feel she GENUINELY cared for the clients she saw.
If you're a pro who leans towards "extrovert", and you think you may enjoy reaching out to potential clients, please do!
I prefer being messaged first only because I know if they are messaging me they probably want to book with me, where if I reach out to them after they visited my profile, I don’t even get a response a lot of the time let alone a booking. At the end of the day if the conversation leads to booking a session and the person is polite and follows along with my booking process, I am happy no matter who messaged first.
