Do you manage all of your own inquiries and bookings or does someone else do the communication for you?

I am too busy / don’t have the time management capabilities to manage the actual work part of this occupation + all of the communication with clients and potential clients on my own. It’s too much for me.

I take forever to get ready for a call, I need down time, and I can’t be going back and forth with people over text or phone all day long.

So, I have a business partner. NOT a pimp. He works for me, essentially.

I have him handling the inquiries that come in, booking, posting the ad, etc.

Does anyone else do it this way? And also, if so, does that person act as a booking agent? Or do they respond to messages as though it’s actually you writing back?

I’m just wondering, does anybody else have a partner that they do it with who’s not their pimp but more of a partner who does the communication for you? And if so, how do they do it? Do they act like a booking agent or do they pretend to be you when they communicate with clients?
