+ GoingGood Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 I have never asked for a discount from a regular provider. I have had the provider offer a lower rate if I would hire more often but a discount will not likely change how often I hire. So for me anyway, the provider is better off not offering the discount.

dbar123 Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 The whole discount thing would be easy to nip in the bud if providers took the time to do a check out especially after the first session, which they rarely do. It entails spending a few minutes at the end of the session asking the client what they liked and didn’t like about the session, what could be improved upon next time and what they might like to see at the next encounter. At this point it is the ideal time for the escort to suggest a longer session for X dollars and outline what you would do for the extra money. The sad truth is that most guys are so eager to bolt out the door that they pass up a key opportunity to foster repeat business and loyalty and they set themselves up for the future discounting discussion.

This might work for a subset of escorts who want to work shorter, hourly frames of time, but if you want to earn career money, I don't know if this is an ideal way to go. You never put your client on the spot with a focus group: It ruins what should have been a fun time spent by bringing it back to business. You can more easily email these kinds of questions later, if necessary. Guys- at least the men I see- aren't hiring me to be reminded that they're paying for my service. They want to relax, vacation, enjoy, cut loose and simply have a friend with them who makes it all flow and feel easy.

Possibly low level guys, but a great provider is oftentimes generous with his time ( if it permits ) , no clock watching.
Guest Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 The bottom line is that this whole subject is a personal and private matter and if and when anyone on either side chooses to be extra generous for a lack of better words, it shouldn't come at a request and certainly doesn't need to be telegraphed.

+ daytongay Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 I used to see a local guy regularly. In fact one year I saw him on my birthday. Didn't tell him but he saw something and asked about it. He wouldn't take any money that time and said it was his treat. I thought he was very sweet and probably tipped him enough in subsequent meetings to more than make up for one freebie. thomas, Yukon21, + Vegas_Millennial and 5 others 3 2 3

ChasingGirth Posted September 26, 2023 Posted September 26, 2023 Do not give a discount. Stay longer. Tell him you can’t do better than your actual rate, that you appreciate him and that you can stay a bit longer. + Vegas_Millennial 1
+ DrownedBoy Posted September 27, 2023 Posted September 27, 2023 It's been said many times. A good regular will grandfather in your rate. A bad one won't (personal experience).

One is a weekly client, and it ultimately ended up being to my benefit to negotiate a lower rate for him. Simply because of the reliability of knowing where I'd be one night every week midweek. It's worked out well for both of us. The only drawback is that - with the regularity of it - he's fallen out of any extra generosity. No tips, no surprise gifts. But at the end of the day, the reliability has made it a good choice. If others fall through, I know I can rely on that weekly gig. Another burgeoning regular asked if I was willing to negotiate in exchange for reliability. I indicated that I was open to it. Back and forth ultimately led to this: "Don't we feel that our relationship transcends cash?" My response: "My relationship with my therapist transcends cash, but I still pay him." Turns out I inadvertently opened the door to constant bellyaching about price, and I ultimately stopped scheduling with him. Really appreciate the input. Productive, positive and encouraging an evaluation of both sides of the issue. Your comment here was definitely one of the best. Thank you for taking the time to respond. thomas 1

+ Jamie21 Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 I hate to be asked for a discount. It makes the session (if it happens) awkward. I have a simple rule, no discounts, ever…especially if my client asks for one. So the answer is always ‘no’. The rate is advertised, so I think if you don’t want to pay it please don’t approach me. Some might see that as inflexible but I think in this business you need really strict boundaries. For regulars I’ll go over on time (if possible) but never discount on my rate. 56harrisond, Simon Suraci, Johnrom and 1 other 1 2 1

I've had therapists (<cough>I've now decided to apply those funds to something else that improves my mental health and is far more enjoyable<cough>) and personal trainers with whom I developed personal connections, and even though I was or are a "regular" with them I would never expect or want a "discount" for their services. I've even had to tell a personal trainer that they needed to raise their rate! Now, I consistently tip preferred providers well, so that they know I really do appreciate their work and that they I take bookings with them seriously. + RyanDean, pubic_assistance and Simon Suraci 1 2
+ Vegas_Millennial Posted July 6 Posted July 6 On 9/24/2023 at 12:34 PM, BenjaminNicholas said: Discounting, no. Keeping your longtime clients at a lower rate as your standard rate increases, more appropriate. That said, clients have to prove they're long-term and how long that period is would only be something the escort can figure out. Like a good blackjack player strategically increasing their bet, an escort needs to know when to take advantage of his best years and increase his rate. Well said!

Same. I hired a “premium” provider a few times. On the third hire he said “looks like you’re a regular, I’ll take $50 off.” I made good on the discount with more frequent hiring. He was the best escort I ever knew (moved away, sadly). + Vegas_Millennial 1

A regular, weekly client who pays offers predictability, which is rare and valuable. That’s not a drawback — that’s a win! If the agreed-upon rate covers the service and the client shows up consistently, without drama or disrespect, then the arrangement is working as intended. Vocalizing dissatisfaction with that publicly — especially on a platform where prospective clients are watching — can come off as entitled, or worse, emotionally transactional. That kind of messaging undermines the professional boundaries both parties work hard to establish and maintain. The second client, the one trying to spiritualize the arrangement with don’t we transcend cash?— that’s clearly a red flag. But the first one? He sounds like a dream. There’s no real drawback there. If someone pays you what you agreed to, shows up every week, and behaves respectfully — what more do you want? thomas, SirBillybob and pubic_assistance 1 2
