How do you say NO to a model?
 

How do you say No to a model that you do not want to hire?

Every once in a while we get a new model completing an application who does not quite fit the niche I am looking for. For whatever the reason (age, body type, look, dress, PERSONALITY, etc) are wrong. Sometimes, its onlye 1 or more of the parameters above that are either exceeded, or not quite met. We don't want to be rude and we don't want to disapoint, but sometimes when they keep asking "Why? Why? WHY?" we have to be brutal and tell the truth.

What do YOU do? Any horror stories?

Tell them their look is too mainstream.

You just said it well. We dont want to try to make you into something you are not, it just doesnt "ring true" with the viewer. A hotdog cut in half and put in a hamburger bun is still a kick ass hotdog and the bun is perfection itself, but people *know* they dont go together.

Ok maybe thats crude, but as long as they remember: you can do everything right, and still not win. It's not a failing in you, someone just fit better that day.

Simple, you never act as you have the final answer and tell them the "human resource" person will get back to you if they are interested. Ignore any other emails or contact.

I ran into this a lot when we were doing solo girl sites and never fun...:pimp

this seems to be a very good option... but telling the truth is also a good one... just tell her that she doesn't qualify for what you are looking for...

Tell her she has a face only a mother could love.

Be direct, that has always worked with me. If feelings get hurt I use the "Its just business, nothing personal." line.

like this-

just tell her the truth, she's not what you are looking for. If that don't work tell her to get the fuck out And if that doesn't work tellher u want her to do double anal with two guys who fuck aids infected crack hos. If that don't work hire her

Tell them what I always tell them. "They have a great look for Radio."

just be honest about them not fitting your niche

Invent a mystery client or partner that you show your prospect work to and they are the ones who make the final choice. So you are never the bad guy.

I don't tell them shit.

They apply and unless I have work for them, I never contact them.

I used to tell them that I am overbooked. Now I just tell them that I am not looking for that look. I only go after talent that I am interested in working with now. My friends, actually do a great job "scouting" for me. Or they are a friend of a friend. I don't have to worry about it as much now

Either one of these:

Or simply offer her a rate she's never going to accept because it's way too low - so she won't bug you anymore and feels like she's on the good site. If she accepts the low offer fuck it and go for it - if the scene cost you only 10% of a normal one you can at least sell it for some quick money :thumbsup

Thank God I don't have that problem....If there is a hole in between her legs, I'm shooting her. :2 cents:

What if she's white?

Start every sentence you say to her with: "Listen Butterface..." Do this over and over again until she asks why you keep calling her "butterface". Then tell her: You'll never make any money because a guy will see you and go, 'She's hot BUT HER FACE needs a bag on it.'

Then gently shove her out the door while she's crying. Or hang up, same thing. Good luck!

White women don't have holes in between their legs?

Send her to camgirls, I'll start a fugly category, 50 cents a minute.

:) :) :) :)!

Just say "We can't pay you till next month" and there gone.

one bitch called the cops on me

Oh snap!!! LOL... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

"You've got a great look, but unfortunately there are a few other girls whose looks are just a bit more suited to THIS PARTICULAR shoot than yours. But if it's alright with you we'd like to keep your pic/vid/portfolio on file for possible work in future shoots."

No sense crushing a poor girl's dreams completely, right?

Tell her "thanks for applying love, but it looks like you were born in the ugly tree, fell out and hit every branch on the way down" :1orglaugh

Sounds good, but I wouldn't say "but unfortunately", just "but there are a few other girls.."

Hello,

Thanks for your application to model for us.

Currently you do not fit into a criteria our clients are seeking.

We wish you the best of luck.

Bla bla

This is the short and simple way, do not speak as a person, but as a company.

Haaaaaa!!

Despite only advertising only for girls we still get plenty of guys applying hoping for paid sex with hot girls.

My stock answer when they call is to say "Sorry we don't usually shoot gay stuff, but what the hell, we'll shoot you anyway" Which works perfectly 99.9% of the time. Except when it doesn't...

No need to crush their dreams but saying things like that makes "models" think they have chance next time round and they'll keep hitting you up.

Don't forget: this is work, it's a business. You don't always have time to be extremely politicaly correct. Doesn't mean you have to tell her she's dog ugly or anything, but being a bit blunt does pay off.
