There's no debate, don't worry! I'm very passionate about clients deserving more when they choose to put in more efforts 🔥 I'm told that I may sound upset or aggressive sometimes though so I get where you're coming from.
I'm here to remind the guys to choose wisely, and put in your efforts with those who reward you for them ✨ My suggestions were BBT, cute envelopes containing my rate, and wishlist items if they want to get them for me 😅 I'm not going to be pretend that gifts/tips and sweet gestures don't make a difference in my day; we're human too, so my mood being uplifted by an extra sprinkle of joy is only natural.
We're each coming from a completely different place where I'm an SP happy to receive knowing that I give back, and you're warning people of those other people who couldn't care less about these gestures. We both want the best for all potential clients at the core 👏
I hope I do read like a "casual" sales girlie in every post. The same way my emails read like admin with a touch of humanization - it's difficult because I sometimes do admin like a bot 🥴 It's my job here to share my genuine opinions & experiences, while speaking up for my desired clientele 😇
It works really well for getting the type of client I enioy the most, keeping my job sustainable so I can take care of them until they've got other things to do 🩵 Meanwhile, it pushes away those I wouldn't have the best chemistry with.
I respect your passion for what you do, and I get that little gestures can brighten anyone’s day. That said, I look at it differently. To me, things like gifts, flowers, or wishlist items are symbols of a deeper personal bond, not something I attach to a paid arrangement. I value those gestures too much to put them into a transactional context where they lose their meaning.
My whole life is shaped by my business-minded way of thinking. I am very critical about details and I do not enjoy gray zones. My success has always come from being exact, understanding what the terms are, and then delivering on that. I carry that same mindset into every part of my life. When I agree to a rate, I see it as the clear contract of what is expected. If the service meets or exceeds that, then it works. If not, I do not return. Simple as that.( I’ve only really had 2 or 3 interactions like this and they were years upon years ago I don’t always or even frequently decide to use SPs )
What I have found works best is being clear, consistent, and respectful. When I book someone at a certain rate, I expect that experience to be delivered. If we connect naturally and build rapport over time, that’s what makes me come back, not whether I brought along an extra treat.
That is final for me though, bout to take a long flight and won’t be checking back
everyone enjoy what you would like, I’ll read any replies but won’t reply further , not that anyone should care either way.
Just giving my 2.5 cents for other men to hopefully see
Yeee men on white chariots can chariot away.
