My two cents on this ..
I always follow few tips to approach Indies or SP.
Instead of calling directly, first connect with WhatsApp and start with Hi, Hello and Name ( is this Shalini/Yogini etc) if she doesn't respond, tell her the person name who has given you her number and if I got the correct number or not ?
Generaly girl responds (if that is valid reference) or sometimes ask you to tell reference person to call you.
If in case she doesn't respond, I don't talk further or call her, I ask that person to call her and tell that I sent her message and she should respond.
In case she says, she doesn't recognize that person and or she is unable to understand what i mean to say, I apologise stating I might have got the incorrect number.
Incase I have got the details through Locanto, I message them that I have seen their ad.
For specially newbies-
Don't just do not mention anything about business/services until you get green signal from the girl. Be very careful on this.
I am not very senior on this forum and they are people who are much more experienced but these tips always worked for me and helped me to avoid any kind of embarrassing situation.

Ricky
