lowering rates

[littlejimbigher]

Lots of people have less decressionary money now that in a long time.
I have booked with gals that have run a special price for a week or month to raise extra capital for whatever. They have told me that they were extra busy during that time. But on the other hand a higher price limits the amount of people you see so that you look after your mental and physical self.

Just wants other SP's to keep rates up so she can make more money when she lowers hers.

You can argue for or against lowering, maintaining or raising rates; but if you are going to go head to head with the laws of supply and demand, I already know where I'm putting my money. Over the longer term, market will set its own price. It always does.

But in the end, I'm not concerned with what escorts charge. If it's more than I can afford, then I can't afford it. If it's more than enough everyone else can afford too, then either price will go down prices or service will go u, or some combination of this to balance with or increase the demand. The market will always equalize. you get very little say in it and any attempt to manipulate the market with price fixing merely has short term, if any, effect.

You never have to worry. The Iron Law of Wages dictate that as long as there is demand for whatever we do, we'll all get by.

I remember postings osme time ago about this

I have to agree with the price complaints. If we as clients of our beloved SP's take a minute and look at it. How many of us as workers make $120-400 per hour...few to none....correct?

So if we are hiring an SP for an hour of her time and are willing to pay a reasonable rate then there is a market. This would mean more business for her as well. I however am not prepared to pay rates of 250 and up to "RENT" a SP's butt for an hour. These rates are just stupid. The poster mentioning about construction showing and the housing and car markets slowing are quite true.

Now our S.P's "may" for TWO weeks in 20010 make these bucks from a few but again a lot of these visitors will have families here on a budget all those thinking they will make lots from clinets in this group please speak up, a few yes but lots....no

So I think if I were selling my ass on my reputation I would be just thinking of how I could not only do better in word of mouth reputation on boards such as this. Then in volume with more people paying less. I know of one SP who brings who a couple of grand a week just because she works in volume and doesn't work hard.


I am going wih CL and lower rates until our regulars start to look at this fee schedual with a lot less greed and client screwing (No pun in tended)

I just want some of the girls who may be worried about their money situation because of slow times right now, to know that there will be a shift in the pace soon. Thats how it always goes, the indies are busy for a bit then the agencies for a spell then the parlors and then the street girls and then back to the agencies again and so the cycle goes. Theres no need to lower your rates, clients are still abundant and your phone will ring again.

I think lowering your rate to below the industry standard is foul kinda and I believe that it also lowers the expectations of most people involved which never is good for a service industry like this.

I get worried when I see referral companies lowering their rates to one lower then a half hour rate for an hour gfe and I hope that there are still girls who stand by their rate and keep their heads up until the business evens out which it always does. Specials are fine on occasion but lowering rates is like lowering yourself and it isn't needed. This is just my opinion and you know how I like to push that envelope.

It is ok to be a fairly priced escort but if you can do service for half your regular rate then you must not be too confident in your service. Bring the fire.

I think ladies should charge whatever they want to charge in order to maintain the volume of business that makes them comfortable. As much as I abhor gentlemen telling ladies what they should charge, I think it's even more despicable when other escorts do it.

A lady who relies on escorting as her primary source of income would be an absolute fool to "hold out" at a rate that doesn't generate sufficient income for her -- especially in conditions that point towards an emerging economic downturn.

By referring to such nonexistent concepts as "industry standard" rates, you only help to perpetuate the stupid myth of the escort "union" and industry price collusion.

Is that SP really worth a car payment?

Fellow pooners think about it before you dial, in your work do you make $120 an hour and up?

In looking at SP's I like personally and have been with and those I haven't been with but would not say no too at some point. BUT I am not about to pay 250 and up to the sky is the limit for a pussy that is attached to a SP as at the end of the day you are there to be serviced.

Is there really a difference between a CL SP that charges a reasonable rate such as $120 to $200 over our gals that are breaking records.

Now I understand an SP that charges a high rate for some bizzare fetish but
in most cases this is not the case. So in most cases is it worth $250-and up to get the big boy serviced when a servicing from the $120 to 200 sp is just as good if not better in some cases from CL.

As one pooner pointed out with the down turn in work the construction workers are now declining and the housing market dropping and the car industry scrambling to sell I would think that $300 and $400 rates are going to be hard to come by on a regular bases where a more reasonable rate would bring in volume.

Now for those SP's who think they will be making tons of cash in 2010 remember a lot of those visitors coming here will be with family and friends and the $400.00 rates again will not be there in volume. You will gfet that in a few cases alright but perhaps that is good enough.

I think a SP looking to make cash and using her head and reputation will make more using a reasonable pricing system and quality work...$12o and hour girls who many people make that in an hour so $120 per hour and just say 4 clients in a day $480 x 7=$3360. some times lees sometimes more tht is an excellent cash flow girls

I know a sp who generally takes less and is quiite nice and gives an excellent service for an affordable rate. She makes a ton of cash each week and everybody is happy.

But this is just my opinion and greed is something else.


Guys just use your big head before dialing and booking go with value and best bang for the buck and you will have that regret afterwards of was that worth $300 or up for an hour I could have had the same for less and cash left over for more later on.

Not every SP wants to see 28 clients a week (not to mention most of us do not work 7 days a week but that is beside the point). SPs set their rates such that they have as much work as they want. I, personally, do not want to see more than 4 clients A WEEK as I am more interested in quality than quantity (plus one 2 hour appointment is basically an entire day's work for me as it takes me at least an hour to get ready and my incall is over an hour from my house each way) and so I have set my rates such that this is about how much interest I have (though I still have to turn some away unfortunately but if I charged less I would be turning many more away and I don't like doing that, it's stressful to me to disappoint by saying "no I can't see you" over and over again because I actually honestly care). If I saw even 3 clients in one day I would be burnt out and I would stop providing a sensual service and simply be a fake sex doll...I would be going through the motions and it would be obvious in the service I gave.

The SPs that have rates higher than the parlours/micros and are highly reviewed are, for the most part, ones that only see a handful of clients a week OR ones that have been in the business a long time and have learned how to maintain that energy throughout several appointments due to their vast professional experience. It is my opinion that most of the men on these boards have a very wrong idea on the number of clients most indys see in a week...I have not asked most but of the ones I have asked at least 4 girls (in red on here) see only 3-5 a week. They are not just there as sexual servants as the girls that work in volume are, they are there as complete companions. They are refreshed and they take great efforts to have the mental and physical energy to be ON for you, their client, so as to provide you with the best experience they possibly can. Maybe you do not realize how much effort it can take to do this? When I do dinner & dessert appointments for instance, you would think they are easy but I am EXHAUSTED afterwards because I gave my client 200% of my energy and spent a great amount of time beforehand preparing for the date also.

Sure those $120/hr girls have energy for you but they are here for the short term, you can not keep that up in the long run. SPs who have higher rates survive on the relationships they build with returning clients and for the most part they plan to be in the biz for much more than the 2 or 3 months that the micros do...I could do it for 2 months for sure, but I would start hating my job very quickly. Personally I'd rather love my profession and still be honestly happy and genuine when I greet my clients 2 years from now; that to me is the difference.

(note this is not a comment on the original topic of this thread...I think women should set their rates wherever they want but I just had to reply to this comment)

I'm getting sick and tired of hearing SP's whine (well, not really - mostly only this particular one) about rates when they make more money spreading legs than most people make after going to school for 8+ years. If you can't handle the fact guys stop calling you (let's assume for this particular argument service is notwithstanding, although we know in YOUR case it is - but I digress) and that you spend 90% of the money men give you to keep buying useless materialistic shit like purses and shoes all the while not planning for any 'real' savings to weather any downturns such as this one - then it's entirely your problem.

Not you or any one single person is going to cause a change in price in the market. So maybe you should either provide better service so as to entice repeat clientel to keep coming back - or here's a better thought - get another job since this one is apparently too tough for you!!

I see about 2 or 3 SPs per month and yes there is a difference in quality of service for what I want between those price ranges.
The 200-250 range gives much better GFE than the lower priced gals.
They have more services offered, take their time and don't rush me out, and seen more intrested in you (even if it is acting it counts).
The lower priced gals seem more inexperienced and ofter lust want you to get off and get off then get out.
Every one feel differently about this but this is my 2 cents worth.

I sort of exclude the aisan SPs because not speaking their language I don't feel like a conection was made ever.

I've also paid a little more than the 250, more like 300, but found the service about the same but my wallet emptier and so stick with my range.

PS I'm having to find some new regulars so if anyone has any suggestion in that range please PM me.
