Negotiation

With a thread like this, you can't escape being called a cheap bastard.
Anyways, anybody who feels they should negotiate when it come to ass, should really reconsider the activity. After negotiating with an SP, you are for sure going to get a less than stellar performance from her, and with your board background you will in no doubt, write a poor review.
If you can't really afford it, move on to the rubber blow-up variety that will provide you with sexual entertainment that's pretty much paid for itself the first time you use it. What's even better, is that with the doll you'll never have any complaints about how your gut smothers her face when you climb aboard for a BJ. And cleanup is a breeze!
I negotiate for everything in my business, and after I negotiate, I expect good service (I make it clear with whom I am negotiated with that I want good service and tell them that their price has to include it).
At times I will meet somebody and have a great session. I will then tell them that their service and everything is great, but that I cannot afford their fee every week (my budget is about $20k per year, not $30-40k). About half the time I am given the cold shoulder (their right) and about the other half the time I get a reduced rate, sometimes almost half off. Sometimes, time flexibility on my part is expected.
In my business, which spends about $60 million per year on suppliers of various sorts, if an employee tells me that "they don't negotiate", I usually smack them on the side of the head.
The only supplier that has a valid business excuse not to negotiate is in one or more of the three situations:
1. They are physically incapable of increasing output. In that instance, their product essentially becomes an auction. I would imagine that "some" SPs might be in this situation.
2.
The incremental cost (materials, labour and directly variable overhead) is more than the asked for price. For a SP, materials (condoms, lube), labour ($0 if she is not busy, whatever her asking rate is if she is fully booked), and ctly variable overhead (electricity for the vibrator) are very little (unless she is fully booked). SPs that work in MPs may have a higher labour cost if they have to pay something to the house.
3.
Confidentiality. This is a real concern for a service provider. In business, most of my contracts have confidentiality clauses for this reason. The key here is gaining your business partner's trust so that you can both enter into an agreement where confidentiality is respected.
Bottom line, regardless of whether the supplier supplies bottles or BJs, their is lots of scope for negotiation. If the supplier will not negotiatiate, then find one that does. Of course, every business has its own "cultural style" and I have adapted mine accordingly.
