I like the texts, it’s a nice touch. I was never naive enough to think I was the only one getting them, or that in anyway I am truly special. But, it’s part of what makes the overall Axel experience an incredible one. He is really good at every aspect of his craft, and I for one will keep going back. Still my number one experience to date

LOL. And count me in also. Another one receiving the “Miss you blah blah blah blah” texts. Ensuring his future US revenue. He is REALLY good at marketing and knows What he is doing!,

Hey! I thought I was the only one who gets private messages!!!!! #JiltedClient #ItsOver #JealousRage LOL
 
He knows what he’s doing, and is REALLY good at it

Depends on verification of reviews (does he have any? how many? any on Daddys?). If not, he needs a reality check but maybe not from you. Maybe better the market (another potential client) is best to step in instead of yourself. It's business. Even 500 is high but some tried and tested (and highly experienced or very, very special—define that in your own context) providers can ask for that sort of scale. He dropped to 500 just because you mentioned it which tells me, as a business man, he's not gotten a handle on his business (or a clue) or what he is offering. If you're okay to gamble (and it is Las Vegas), and think the risk is worth it, jump. I can only go by what you wrote but he sounds inexperienced and/or arrogant. Not terrible qualities but if your gut tells you something loud and clear, I'd say listen to it. That you reached out here for thoughts already tells me your inner voice or gut instinct has given you the answer.

Just saw him recently. I can offer details in private but, my experience? Waste of time. Pics from the neck down are likely him but any showing him from the neck up are likely not him. His massage skills are worth those of an untrained amateur. I've had enough massages in my life that run the gamut and his I'd put at the lowest end of that range and that's not exaggerated in the slightest. Pleasant personality but disconnected is how I felt in his presence. I too was drawn in by his reviews but, gentleman, I think someone is lacking truth and/or clarity in their recall of an experience with this one. To be clear and fair...nice man but "nice" in an uninteresting and disconnected way. I won't be going back. There are much better in the business.

In Bate's Motel, he was rather taciturn. The few times he smiled, I melted.

Not a review, but DEFINITELY recommended if he's your type! Crazy wild and HOT!

What in the flying rats ass, does being a Trumper, have to do with hiring an escort. Sorry, but that is a ridiculous statement.

I am not questioning his right to hire or not hire, anyone. But, not hiring someone, because of his political persuasion! Do you not understand how f****** ridiculous that is! You're hiring someone to suck his dick or have him f*** you up the ass so you f*** him up the ass. And you're not going to hire him because he's a Trumper.

I never haggle and will go with the rate they ask for. And I’m generous if the connection is good. If the initial rate is too high, particularly for the first encounter when I don’t have full confidence the meeting will be good, I just say thanks and move on. I think it’s important to remember that escorts are human beings who have lives and problems just like the rest of us. They give us their bodies and a little bit of themselves so we can relax, blow some steam off and enjoy a fantasy. That can be a lot to give for some people. I think it’s always important to approach these encounters with respect and empathy, even if some escorts do not do the same for us. I look at this a lot differently than buying a widget that has no human feelings.

I would reconsider if an escort put it in that frame. My regulars are the greatest and provide me great multihour rates. I always tell them if they get a client at our time I am always flexible. I would not want them to loose business when I am a surething.

A very astute conclusion and strategy Every escort should be mindful of your comments.

Advertising to clients with a higher budget is all about putting yourself in places that aren’t traditional escort ad venues (which, if someone is in the habit of browsing, they are more likely to be more into paying an average rate). Social media is one way. Making a name for yourself as a porn star (even an indie/self-made one) is another. Drinking at bars that business executives frequent (during the times they actually go there) with a stack of business cards is another. SEO is another. Having your own brand/website that can stand on its own outside of escort ad venues is KEY for all these strategies except maybe the social media strategy, and even then it helps.
 
Clients willing to pay a higher rate tend to want to book you for YOU, not just because you’re an escort who fits X Y and Z parameters. Creating a presence in places where men with a high enough income to afford your rate can notice you, desire you, and realize that they can have you is the real game. Figuring out WHERE those places are that your potential clients can find you is the real challenge. But the above are some examples of strategies that WORK.
 
In my experience showing a lot of depth of personality is helpful. A handful of generic selfies and a couple generic ad paragraphs simply do not cut it, in the world of higher rates. Make them fall in love with who you are as an individual and what makes you special, and the rate becomes less of a determining factor.

Strange...
 
I have noticed a large group of newbies in New York posting ads of RM with great pictures and basically no text... little information....
 
I have been wondering if this is a new trend in advertising.
 
The guys look hot, but I, too, am hesitant.

Well I disagree though. I’ve not shared my marketing strategy. I simply based common rates in relation to the expected prices. There’s more to marketing than price.
 
Since you want to compare: Do prices ever stay the same price all the time? No. The reasons may be different for whatever reasons, but there’s still people buying $800 tickets, when you can get it on the same flight for $59. Why are people in many cities paying $1,000+ for the same apartment that was $600, 5 years ago?
 
I’m also not DISCOUNTING my prices. I just want to limit the amount of resistance for first time buyers in certain markets. I feel that the majority of the new clients contacting me, are the Backpage/Craigslist refugees (no offense). Remember, backpage used to be popular for finding Black guys. They’re learning and open to pay more, but like I said...I still plan to keep my two hour, evening and overnight rates the same.
 
And to further prove my point here, I’ll let you (and everyone else) in on a little secret: About 3 years ago, I wanted to shake things up business wise. This is back when rentboy was still around. I put my price to 500 for a couple of weeks. I started immediately getting new clients.
 
At the same time, I didn’t wish to remain at the price point permanently, but it did help boost my value during a time that was not popping like I wanted it to.
 
Even if I take prices down now, I will know when the right time will come to put them back up again.

Agree. Research and referrals important but never "fail-safe". No guarantees. It's when you find the best "fit" that you repeat again and again. Relationships and genuine loyalty (not only for the sake of loyalty) to those we enjoy spending time with can't be discounted.

Like you, I never negotiate a service provider's rates. If the stated rate is above what I want to pay for that particular provider, I'll reply with a "thanks for your reply" and either "I'll consider it and get back to you if I decide to book an appointment" or I will end the communication from there on. On occasion there have been one or two who message me back a few minutes later with a reduced rate offer. But, in a service business I don't—and won't—like to not pay a quoted rate from the start. Getting a "deal" for an object like a piece of furniture, car, etc. is one thing because the object is what it is. But service (like a plumber or gardener or someone who cleans your house) providers might have a tendency to alter the quality of service they normally perform because the client is paying less. I prefer to do what I can to avoid that sort of "cloud" over the hour(s) spent on the job. Not much different when rates were posted on RM in the past. If a posted rate was—in my opinion—too high for what was (pics/reviews/preferences/profile/interview) offered, I'd never even bother to make contact and move on to the next. It's about marketing and service and reputation-building. If you're not working enough, it's on you to alter what you control. Life and business isn't fair. Know your worth as you believe it to be BUT know your worth as the market percieves it to be as well. Sometimes the two are not the same...one is in your head and the other puts a roof over your head and food on your table.

Thank you @freecahill1965. You are kind. And full disclosure...I’ve agreed to a wide range of rates. Some being the local going rate and a few much higher. It all had to do with the value I perceived after research both here and elsewhere. Generally, it’s turned out that the higher rates equated to a more “top shelf” experience and well worth the increased rate. Those turn out to be regular hires I see more often. Lower rates (average for the local area) tend to either be new to the business building clientele or maybe older in age. Then, there are those who’s perception of their value doesn’t match the service they provide. They almost never get a second appointment nor referral. Service is the secret of any successful business and reputation assures that business stays (and thrives) in business.

Never had it happen to me but if an escort offered to lower his rate I’d be concerned that he would resent me and not give his all during the session. Not all escorts though.

Again, well stated and I agree. I feel that some higher paid escorts do not provide a better service. I have found a number lower than average priced escorts providing super customer service which earns my multiple repeat business.

Don't think of myself as the judgmental type -- I'm way P on Myers-Briggs -- but wow this is fucked up on several levels.
 
Idiocy, corruption, waste to name the top three.
