Repeats and Discounts

[LovesGourmetDining]

A two-sides of the same question:

(1) If you are an escort, has a repeat client ever asked you for a discount. How did they do it, what was your perspective on it, and how did you react.

(2) If you are a client who feels you've seen the same escort enough times to be a "regular" or "repeat", have you ever asked for a discount. How did you go about it, and how did it turn out?

I've never asked but occasionally you see escorts who raise their rates but grandfather previous clients at the older rate. I don't see anyone often enough to expect or ask for a discount.

If you compare SP industry to other industries, there's some correlating examples that offer discounts and some that don't. Where I get my bike serviced and tires changed will often give me a discount. They know there's lots of competition so offering 10-15% off makes sense for customer service. But here's the thing: I don't EXPECT a discount, so any that is offered is a pleasant bonus. If they had never offered a discount, I would likely still use them because they offer great customer service and I believe in supporting local businesses.

I have found and I have heard other say the same

That if you do see an escort on a regular bases and there is a good connection ,they often will give you services at a lower rate or extras at no charge..

It makes good business sense and some time they are just happy to see you and make a little money when needed .

 

[UhOh]

I would definitely be more of a regular if a discount was offered. Its basic marketing 101.

 

[Elmore]

Bottom line...Never ask for a discount under any circumstances.

Admittedly I would possibly repeat with some if one was offered but that is their call to make.

Discounts for regulars? I am not sure. I don't expect anyone to give me a discount and I will never ever ask for it. Once a very reputable lady start to feel a bit sick just before our date but decided to go with it anyways. I guess during the proceedings, she realized it was getting worse so she asked me to stop and offered full refund. You gotta love that.

I have never asked for a discount and I never got it. But yes, grandfathering regular clients after a rate raise is very common. I have not availed myself of that either.

These ladies work very hard for their money and more often than not give you great service so let us keep our end of the deal.

I have offered discounts for a number of reasons.

First of all, regulars get grandfathered in to their current rate structure when my considerations increase.

I also offer incentives for regular visitors. If you see me at least once a week (or 4 times a month), the 4th visit is on me.

Since I prefer longer engagements, I often offer 'discounts' in the sense of extended time rather than a reduced consideration. My regulars can attest to liaisons booked for 2 hours which extended to 4, or 4-6 hour engagements extending as long as 10 hours.

And of course, for the occasional time where I don't feel my service level was where it should have been, I always offer either compensation back right there, or a reduced consideration for their next booking.

I honestly don't think there is anything wrong with asking for a loyalty discount if you are a regular. presumably you have built up enough of a rapport with the lady that you know how to do so tactfully, as well as how to respond graciously if she declines.

Keep in mind that each suitor and each lady will have a different definition of what constitutes a regular. I recall one gentleman who visits me for 2 hours, once to twice every week, over a period of more than 10 years, bashfully ask if he was considered a regular who could be grandfathered in. And another whom I had seen 3 times in 5 years feel that he was entitled to regular rates.

 

[LovesGourmetDining]

My thought would be if you enjoy seeing someone repeatedly why would think to pay them less?

So that you can see them more frequently! Well, slightly more frequently anyway. Any sort of loyalty discount really just goes back to the business in the end. Like any other business that offers one, it retains and encourages business.

On the other side of the coin, no discount or loyalty program is going to really drum up business if there's no incentive to repeat in the first place -- that's why I specified in my question that they are repeat clients to begin with.

 

[LovesGourmetDining]

What number handle is this? I am curious...

Don't know which one mydadsarentboy was referring to, but I think https://perb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?243699-Sasha-Woods-LL-7087 qualifies.
No discount short of 100% will encourage me to see her again. Even then, not sure I'd invest the time to go all the way to Surrey again.

 

[sybian]

I've got all my teeth, a full head of hair, I'm not retired, and don't even have kids yet.....never mind grandchildren.
So I guess the " Grandfather" rate is aways off for awhile yet.

 

[Officeguy]

I would never under any circumstances ask for a discount and I refused any grandfathering offer.....I am lucky and happy .....

I met an SP I REALLY clicked with a few years back and I mean it was a seriously good connection.I tried to fix up a regular Friday night thing for her to visit me in my home with an arrangement that was good for both of us.....good for her....and good for me...pretty balanced actually.Sadly she was a bit flakey and not reliable.In hindsight that might have been the best thing for me as I did become overly fond of her and I lacked the funds to make her into a "bird in a guilded cage" so to speak.If I were disgustingly rich then it would have been a different outcome.

As a rule I dont ask for a discount or lowball....fuck I am not in Costa Rica or Thailand.If the gal quotes a price and I like the pics and the service offered no problem.....if the pics are fake I WALK.....and if the gal get uppity I get LOUDER.....if a gal wants to advertise with fake pics she should expect a lot of WALKS.....if the pics are fake the implied service will be just as shitty.

Just my 2 cents.

Good grief asking for a discount strikes me as very tacky. I don’t think I could do that and not then feel too embarrassed to pull my dick out.

I've worked in a store that sells Rolexes. You won't believe how hard some people -- who can afford watches that are worth more than a person's annual salary -- will bargain for even 1%.
I don't think it's tacky at all. I think it's being smart with money on the buyer side; and on the seller side, recognizing whose loyalty you want to retain. That's why I qualified my question with proven repeat clients.

I spoke with a salesman once, someone who sold million-dollar hardware and service contracts. He said he'd make concessions, give discounts, or give freebies but in reality there's no charity -- it's just a means to a win-win end. He wouldn't do it if down the line the company didn't net benefit.

I would love to spend an evening just snuggling on the couch with you. You are a class act.

I would never ask anyone
outright for a discount except
when purchasing a home or
vehicle.
If a lady feels the need that is
up to her to decide.
Weekly visits or travel etc do
come with a significant drop
in price. ATF worked out a rate
that is equivalent to about 850
per 24 hour period when we spend
week together. If it's just one night
which happens on occasion 1K.
As I understand this is significant
reduction I do gift her quite a bit
as well. It works out really well.
Keep,in mind as well every paid
companion and situation is different.
What works well for one may not work
for another.
Weekly visits are my fav .
Lots of travel & hiking. It's a ton
of fun.

The demand for discounts is..just another power play by males.

Don't hijack the original post context. I didn't frame it as any sort of demand or power play. I asked for people to share their specific experiences, not a general discussion of right or wrong. You want to rant about discounts or make it a gender issue, start your own thread.

I shop at the same grocery store. Should I get a discount? No.

You don't? Maybe you "shouldn't" but Superstore, Save-On-Foods,... they are smart to offer "discounts" in the form of loyalty programs.
And do you insist on paying full price for items that are advertised on Sale in the flyer?

And you already got your repeat-client loyalty discount at the gym when you signed up for a long contract at a lower rate instead of paying as you go. I bet the women who got the same deal don't think of it as "power play by males" either.

If you start naming every possible business, of course not every instance of each industry is going to have an incentive program or discount or what not. But many do. Big ones and smart ones definitely do especially in a time when online businesses are muscling in.
Not going to bother going through the rest of your list.

As for the escort business in particular, if repeat clients are not that common to begin with -- and my perception is that it is not, given how many "to do list" type mentions I see in reviews -- then the perspective on low-repeat or no-repeat clients asking for discounts will be different. Which is why I qualified my question post with repeat clientele, definitely not with one-shot visits.

*

Now that the thread has been hijacked and everyone's posturing about how above loyalty incentives they are, no one who actually has any experience to share is going to dare post anything.
If anyone did want to answer the original post as intended -- specific instances (and hopefully some perspective on what they learned from it) -- they can PM me.

I thank Lady Companion for actually having read the original post and answering the question.

Any discussion I've had with ATF's whom I repeat with quite regularly has been in person. Putting this topic out in public cheapens whatever relationship with the lady you are repeating with. It's sort of like playing "The New Price is Right" Survey Says!

The results looks like the Perb population don't agree, albeit there are SP's and non pooners chiming in with their opinions. That does skew the results if it were a poll.

I recently saw an SP whom I've seen usually 4x a year since 2014. I checked her website and noted the rates were increased with an * existing clients pay their usual donation *.

I thought about it and presumed I'd be considered an existing client.

Then I thought about the lady and all the things she does on my behalf prior to a date. Not only is she immaculately dressed, mani-pedi'd, made up beautifully, softest skin and wearing the sexiest AP that was jaw dropping. Adding a plate of fresh fruits, goat cheese with crackers and a bottle of mineral water completed the nicely thought out date plan. These 'little things' are expensive and the incall is one of the nicest I've ever visited in a prime location that could be really high rent.

The decision was easy for me when put in that perspective; I paid the new rate because she is worth it. I'm fortunate that she does care and makes a great effort to set the ambience so beautifully.

I agree with those who feel that asking for a discount is Tacky, and assume that the reason you received no replies from others who've done this is either because few have or if they do, are too embarrassed to admit it here. It's called being a 'cheapskate'. Have you ever asked any other of your service providers - auto mechanic, plumber, electrician, lawyer, etc. for a discount - I can hear them laughing from here. The only thing I expect from repeat visits is good or better mileage than the last which is why I repeat with someone in the first place.
