The Generous Client

[FrancoDiSantisxxx]

Beyond thanking the client with a complimentary session, additional hours "off the clock" and, of course, expressions of gratitude, written and oral, how have escorts dealt with exceptional generous clients?

 

I have clients who have bought electronic appliances for me, nothing exceedingly expensive like a $2K flat screen TV, but some nice things; however, these were generally quid pro dealings where the client preferred not to have to explain or justify a cash only transaction. I consider them gifts in kind, partially because none of these situations have been straight one-to-one transactions. In simpler language, it was never a $250 stereo for one hour of time.

 

On the other hand, in the last six months one particular client has taken to presents large and small, some are simply dinner at a nice establishment without otherwise a scheduled appointment, but other things have been expensive tickets, a silk robe, etc. I offered to and did cook him dinner at my home once, but I would have done that in any event. I would like to hear some sensible suggestions on appropriate ways to both acknowledge and recognize the gifts as well as respond in kind.

 

Thank you.

It depends. ;-)

 

(Sorry, but you know that's the answer.)

Just say thank you! In my opinion, "expressions of gratitude" are the appropriate response to a gift. If it's really a gift, it should not be considered an obligation that needs to be repaid in kind. But a heartfelt acknowlegement of appreciation like a note or card would probably be welcome, since there's nothing worse than giving a gift and not even getting any kind of response. This is sounding sort of Miss Manners I suppose, but hey.

 

If it's a more of a barter situation than receiving a gift, well then yes, it would depend, and then that would be more negotiated. But hopefully both parties would understand that that was the assumption!

And this warm (or should I say hot:P ) and friendly man knows when and how to say "Thank you". The feeling is mutual, Nate.

 

With warm regards,

Great response! Maybe you should start your own Miss Manners column........

Thanks, Oliver. Flattery will get you everywhere, as they say!

The Proper Thank You Note

 

I guess there is no such thing as a short AND complete post in certain cases.

 

This client has been thanked, appropriately (as my parents raised me to) and not just a thank you e-mail. I have friends who have gotten overly expensive presents (namely, jewelry, which I would never accept as I never wear it), and simply thanked the client. I would like to know what other escorts may have done and if any clients have had appreciation expressed to them in an unexpected, appropriate manner.

Perhaps this is a situation wherein saying "Thank you" with your mouth full is acceptable etiquette.

How about a slap on the butt as he heads out the door? ;p

As one who loves to give very nice gifts-- Oliver's and Nate's sentiments are most appropriate in what is being asked here! I concur with both gents!:-) :-)
