How many clients are regulars?

[Orson Kane]

I have always wondered how important "regulars" are to an escort's business. Do you spend most of your time seeing a small number of clients over and over again or is most of your business (in terms of dates) people you only see once? It would be nice to get some sort of numbers here (or precentages at least) that cover say a year or so of your business. How often do most of your regulars see you?

Location, location, location

 

I think this is a product of geography as much as the escort. When I have spoken to Jeff (Ohio), Gabe in St. Louis, and other escorts I have met, it sounds like the see some of the same clients in and around their geographic location.

 

In my own case, I do see some guys in Palm Springs everytime I go. Monthly, sometimes twice a month. There are also clients I see regularly here in Los Angeles, some every month but others whom I consider regulars may be once every six to eight weeks, twice in one month and then not again for three months.

 

Many of my clients are married or coupled bisexual men, who often are visiting from the middle of nowhere, where they cannot find what they seek or their relationships, work and community situation make it impossible for them to do so. These guys may see me every time the make it to Los Angeles (or in one instance, Palm Springs) on business but often they are one time clients.

 

I think if you also service tourist destinations and travel like I do, you tend to lessen your opportunies for repeats, though I will be returning to San Francisco as soon as it is feasible partly for some repeats.

 

To give you numbers, I would say, 10% are very frequent and regular, 10 - 15% are infrequent but repeat and most are guys who see me a few times then never call again (often they want someone new) or only see me once.

 

I would prefer more regular clients. I think even the infrequent clients get better performance from me and enjoy themselves more. I know what they like, I remember what we did, they are not as nervous, they have gotten to know me as well, and over all the experience is more akin to the fourth or fifth date in a relationship then the first one. Obviously, it would also be more financially stable to have a repeat core of business.

 

For this reason, I offer the repeat clients benefits that a one time client does not receive. I have a frequent fucker program: it give you upgrades (extra time), preferential treatment, bonus sessions and more than just a birthday card on the client's birthday. I also offer discounts (as do many other escorts) for gentlemen who hire me for longer sessions.

 

Thanks for the great question and I hope more escorts answer you as well.

"rest assured"

;-)

 

Most clients I see are regular clients. This past week I saw 6 regular clients and 1 new client. Unless you're in a city where there's alot of tourist action, I think you have to have regular clients to make a living.

I'm in NYC, so it's very similar to Franco's numbers.

 

The only difference is that I do massage too. So, I have a slightly higher repeat business. I have 6 regular clients that range from once a week, to biweekly, to monthly. The rest are various. Once period, once in a while and some...whenever they get a free second in their hectic schedule...or once everytime they come to NY or I travel there.

 

As far as 'Regular' goes...damn thats a whole different question. Do you mean..like...a 'regular' coffee? In NYC...that means with milk and sugar....in the midwest..that means black.

 

In that sense...I think I only have ONE...REGULAR CLIENT. The rest range from regular sometimes to....always kinky.

Ahoy-Ahoy~

 

Honestly, regulars and repeats are the very heart of my business, as it allows me time to truly get to know my guys, form working relationships and grant a sense of comfort for future meetings.

 

Now, don't get me wrong~ I certainly have my revolving hourly clientel of newbies now and then, but what i'm usually striving for are upper-crust gentleman who find what they're looking for and stay put. I simply enjoy that feeling of being familiar with a person from the moment i step into the room: The comfort of knowing his food prefferences, cologne likes/dislikes, art influences, educational background, clothing tastes, etc. You can NEVER stop learning about your client.... That's what makes this profession so fun and interesting

 

 

Somtimes i feel like a caterer who doesn't know whether to serve caviar or Philly cheesesteaks =)

RE: Location, location, location

 

Franco is indeed correct about his knowldege of the area I serve. Most of my clientele are regulars. But I also travel a lot, and thus, have a cadre of regulars in other cities ...though many are regulars based upon my getting into their city, and when I send them a personal email announcing my travel schedule, they generally rush to see me if possible. Such cities include, though is not limited to Boston, Columbus, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Orlando, Raleigh-Durham, San Fran, Seattle, and Tampa (sorry guys if I missed a few....).

 

Without my regulars, I would virtually have no business. Because I do not do this full time, and have to be discreet , hence I also cannot post my face pic on line, my business tends to be less than other area escorts. Also, because of my much smaller business I can't afford to do something that Franco mentions he does...a frequent fucker program (tho it's a great concept!!! That's why franco is at the top of his league I assume, cause of such generosity).

As opposed to those fickle lower-crust shlubs who keep changing their minds? (As for me, I don't like the crust; I prefer the sweet filling) (especially my mother-in-law's strawberry rhubarb) (Derek's mother grows her own berries & 'barbs...yum):9

I am near Juilliard.

You are probably the consumate actor. My two regular escorts know me better that I know me. I cannot decide whom I like better. Wish you were in my neighborhood. :+

[+ BenjaminNicholas]

Consumate Actor? I would disagree...

 

 

That makes me sound as if i don't truly enjoy what i am doing and am simply 'putting on a face' with each client. Like i mentioned before, it's all about learning new things and using them, remembering them and keeping them close. As an escort, i'm honored when a client truly trusts me and it's something i strive for in the longrun~ knowing a client backwards and fowards (at his comfort level) helps foster that trust into a lasting friendship/relationship.

 

However, i do understand what you're saying as a whole and i'm sure you enjoy the fact that your regular guys know what makes you happy. Taking out some of the initial odd legwork can make things so much more comfortable in the long run... don't you agree?

Oh Rick... you're such a weenie. I love it.

 

 

You know, as well as i do, that the clients who tend to play 'escort hopscotch' aren't the men we're looking for in the longrun. As much as an hourly romp can be loads (... and i mean LOADS) of fun, it just doesn't compare with taking the time to get to know someone and dissect all the entricicies of their liking.

That's a bit presumptuous of you to assume what I'm looking for in the long or short run. I don't think you understand the words you're using, either. Above, you said you wanted "upper crust" gentlemen. Upper crust is defined as "the class occupying the highest position in the social hierarchy." I don't know about you, but I don't screen prospective clients for their social backgrounds or economic status. All I ask for is good hygiene & mutual respect. After that, I don't care if someone is a working stiff or Thurston Howell III. And while I love regulars, and have great relationships with mine, I find it exciting/hot to meet new guys. So...speak for yourself, kid.

Based on what I've read on this board much of the time, "good hygiene & (especially) mutual respect" might just define "upper crust" rather than some socio-economic definition. :+

I don't think the English language is open to each of us conveniently re-writing our own definitions. The American Heritage dictionary and Webster's Collegiate each define upper crust as, "the highest social class or group." It has nothing to do with hygiene! Rich folk can be dirty & disrespectful! Trust me on this one...I've been there.

[+ BenjaminNicholas]

So, i suppose the blood test and letter of recommendation from a kindergarden teacher would be asking too much from a potential client?

I can't believe that you really missed the point, and therefore your comments puzzle me :P

I like to consider myself as a regular to several special escorts. Have done lots with them. Doesn't mean that I don't want to try new ones just enjoy there company and they have a proven record with me. HUSG Chuck
