excellent clients!

Got that right. Whether you're self-employed (I am) or work for somebody else, there are in either event these pesky accountants. CPAs are by and large responsible professionals committed to upholding a professional ethic, and take a very dim view of any shenanigans. Of course cynical popular perception may differ but I think it's wrong, and I respect the CPAs I know for trying hard to make me and others do the right thing.

 

i spoke to a friend who has an advanced degree in accounting and is the comptroller for a silicon valley firm today. he said this would be easy to do. as long as there was a pattern of similar transactions within a business environment, he didn't think it would be caught. on the other hand, he didn't think it happened all that often. (note: he has a huge reputation among my friends for wearing rose-colored glasses.)

What a wonderful post! I'm so glad to hear that escorts are having such positive experiences with their clients. I, too, have had many wonderful experiences with really genuinely nice people. I wholeheartedly agree that it's the little things that make all the difference; the bottle of water on the nightstand or the offer to be dropped off somewhere afterward. It also really means a lot to me when clients remember little things like where I'm from or what we talked about on our last visit. These little things make for such a wonderful time, and I try to extend the same courtesies to them.

I love it when i am told that they really had a great time

So, does this mean that those of us who pay just the asking rate aren't "appreciated" or good clients?

 

Some thoughts.... I'm a simple man who hires regularly. I would hope that paying you your asking rate, treating you with respect, and living up to our agreement would be sufficient.

 

I'd be interested in hearing how other escorts feel about Tom's comments.

 

We all know that not every appointment is going to be a whirlwind cross-country encounter. The things that were mentioned in Tom's post is something that I've enjoy increasingly often over the months. Gas giftcards, bonuses, travel costs advanced, in one case...a client who advanced the entire 1 hr fee the day prior to meeting...It's always nice to have that.

 

If you pay the asking rate, I would be appreciative regardless. Tips and extra thoughtfulness tend to let me know that the visit was well recieved and felt they got what the asked. Of course another way to express that is by visiting me again.

 

As for receiving the entire fee in advance? Well...psychologically for me it feels a bit better getting something upon seeing the client, rather than having it all at once before-hand. I rather feel the motivation of going and earning more, than feeling like I'm obligated now that I've got all the money. Of course you can be obligated when taking deposits too, but there's still that motivation of earning more.

 

I've recently started renting cars more often, and I can imagine the rental companies like the client that just gets off the plane, walks in without a reservation and pays $1,200/week for a car with his business account. I on the other hand, paying out of pocket...out of my own earnings, combines as many discounts as possible and still try to get the best car on the lot (I drove the 2013 Chrysler 300 for almost 2 weeks). I wouldn't want the rental place to treat me any different because of it...ditto with hotels.

I've had a number of excellent clients and no one from them have sent my entire fee prior to meeting up. For me an "excellent" client would treat me with respect, will show up, be clean, follow up with his part of the commitment. In a restaurant I never order the most expensive item of the menu (even if I'm invited to). I see the escort-client relationship based on the mutual trust and respect and not as a power relationship.[/color]

 

 

i didn't ask for the entire fee upfront; the client wanted to do that. (if no client has ever done this for you, so what?) nor did i say that i ordered the most expensive item; i didn't—the point was the kindness of the offer. nor did i in any way suggest that the escort-client relationship is a power relationship not about trust.

Ooo, sounds like someone got told...

 

I actually have gotten my entire fee 1 day ahead of time as well. It was from adam4adam and my 1 hr rate. But mainly it was because they wanted to see me the next day, and I was planning to go home.

review published today

 

the client's review of the session is published today—my 46th! (i'm starting to feel like i've been around the block a few times!!)

Tom,

Thanks so much for starting this insightful thread. You've given me some very good ideas on how to make future encounters more enjoyable for the men I hire.

Tom,

thanks joe! my buddy patrick bogan used to have a page on his website called "escort etiquette." he was always after me to edit it, which i never got around to, but i think it was mainly about the do's and don'ts of hiring and what to do to make it a good session for client and escort. everyone who reads daddy's gets a good idea of the things that escorts do that make clients happy. rarely do we read about the other side. is there a resource here that tells clients what to expect? how to prepare? how to negotiate? etc. how to treat an escort?

[tyro]

There was (is?) a page on DC Dave's site about this sort of thing. I think it's titled "First Time Hires" or some such.

I'm extremely glad and thrilled that Tom had such a wonderful experience that warranted this eye-opening thread about "excellent clients".

 

That being said very often sending the entire fee to an escort prior to meeting up is asking for trouble. Buyer beware.

 

Since another poster pointed out his preference for "money upfront", personally I think that a good escort doesn't feel insecure about receiving his (deserved) fee at the end of the session.

 

What works for Tom and his excellent client probably won't work for another escort. I, for one, prefer that my client would treat me with respect, will show up, be clean, follow up with his part of the commitment. But I embrace other opinions and views different than mine.

i am not, in general, an advocate for paying in advance. on the other hand, as i type this, i realize that i am sitting on top of $3,000 in a savings account, which is the fee for a session that is scheduled for may of 2013. the client wanted to pay in advance so he wouldn't have to carry so much cash on his next trip to nyc. he's done this before. i don't transfer the money into my checking or brokerage until after i've seen the client.

 

while i am not an advocate for clients paying upfront, especially if they do not know the escort, it is a pleasure to be trusted, and respected, by one's clients. this guy has seen me so many times, and written several reviews here, that he trusts that my fee will be deserved. thank you for your "eye-opening" responses to this thread, steven draker. it is good to see that you are as respectful of other escorts and of people posting here as you ever were.
