Repeat Clients

[manTOman]

Hey Guys,

how often or how common are the repeat clients and how often they turn into regulars? Basically a repeat would be someone you see 2-3 times, and a regular more frequently.

And how many regular does one have at his home base on average? Is it 5, 15 or 25 guys?

 

Thanks

My man,

 

As with everything related to escorting, the answer will be incredibly different depending on who you ask. Some locations have enough clients to allow escorts the luxury of now caring about repeats, some locations have a limited number of clients, forcing escorts to focus on repeat situations. Some escorts thrive with the intimacy and comfort of meeting someone they know well and with whom they have built a rapport, some escorts actually dislike the sense of having someone getting to know them intimately so they prefer first timers.

 

There is an entirely different business model for every single person escorting.

. ..... some escorts actually dislike the sense of having someone getting to know them intimately so they prefer first timers.

 

I have never thought of that - some guys actually prefer non-repeats? I understand the rationale of maintaining ones emotional boundaries but I'd have thought that the benefit of the known-quantity of a repeat client would outweigh that. Interesting.

I know a few escorts who specialize in making their clients come under five minutes and then unceremoniously kick them out. The client feels they have no valid reason to protest, since they came, so they don't write a scathing review but they won't come back. These kind of escort goes through the hiring pool in every city, and as soon as it is exhausted, they need to move to a different city to go through the whole roster of clients.

 

This is not necessarily about protecting one's emotional boundaries, and more about ripping people off by doing the least possible effort. Having a repeat client is a lot of work. You need to be present every time, you need yo care and remember and learn and honour this person as an important human being. Of course, if you treat ALL your clients this way, having regulars is really fun because it's almost like having your little family, but if you are a scheister who only rips off people, the effort involved in having regulars is too big.

 

There is something for everyone!

Often times, the difference between an intimate escort and a conveyor belt type situation, depends on personality traits. I was referred by a client to this site: http://www.16personalities.com/personality-types

 

I happen to fall under the sentinel category, and so I tend to foster the regular client interactions. This will tie into different areas of a person's life, even if this is a chosen profession.

 

I actually paired up briefly with someone who was of the get em in, get em out category. He wasn't a bad person and actually was intimate in other ways. But the main thing is always being available, always looking. With new clients becoming less common; with reliable regulars, one can relax and count on the same trusted people.

 

In addition to escorts who prefer first timers, there's also clients who prefer to hire once and move on to the next. So it goes both ways, and there's no set formula to it.

I have been seeing a local masseur 1-2 times a month for the past 4-5 months; he is straight, but his penis is now getting erect during our massages; I love the increased intimacy we are sharing during our sessions and look forward to each one, so in this situation, I am enjoying being a repeating client of this guy.

[N13]

but his penis is now getting erect during our massages;

 

I don't know why, but I find that hot!

[+ Truereview]

I don't know why, but I find that hot!

Hmmm....What if the straight guy is getting erect simply bc he feels connected to his regular, not bc he is sexually aroused? Is that still hot? IMHO, that's even hotter.

I absolutely love my regulars and it is my goal with almost every client I see, to hopefully develop a relationship where I will see them on a regular basis. I probably have about 10 regulars who live in SF that I see anywhere between 2 times a month to every other month. I also have a number of clients that visit SF once or twice a year and it's always something to look forward to, reconnecting for an hour or an overnight.

 

I also now have a semi-regular client that I've met through a female pro-dom. She's always there to supervise, encourage and sometimes record our time together. The client is into transvestism, which is different for me, but it's still a delight and we are developing a lot of comfort with one another. The last 2 times we've also had another fellow escort join us.

Wow...the fact that you guys are giving this client an avenue for exploration is so cool! I think a key component to "landing" regulars is to be comfortable with exploration (both client and companion). Couldn't help but comment, Lance

[RussJohnson]

I have a combination of repeats and regulars. But yeah it's going to be different for everyone.

In a forum where there has been so much discussion about what works in terms of getting customers (A4A, RentMen, M4RN, etc) it seems like one of the long held tenets of marketing would come into play here. It costs a lot more to get a new customer than than to keep a current one.

[Kevin Slater]

If we define regulars as several times a year, I suspect most escorts (perhaps as opposed to hustlers) have dozens if not scores of regular clients.

Thank you all for pitching in.

 

I'm aware that there are different strokes for different folks, so to speak. I was just wondering from a statistical perspective how common are the repeats in general. Assuming you're not one of those get them out quick guys, would you say 1 in 10 comes back for more, or is it more like 4 out of 10, or maybe 1 out of 20.

 

Men are a complicated animals, and in spite of having a great experience one might choose verity just for the thrill of it. So I guess, my question is how common are those guys that you have a great time with and you're sure you'll see them again but you never do. That's also why I mentioned one's home base, because I don't want to count the travelers who might repeat but aren't in the same location. So only local clients at one's home base.

 

I personally think, without having any proof, that a lot of men are into verity and are only rarely interested in repeats. Maybe it's not as clear cut as I make it out to be, but that's why I asked, since you guys have all the experience.

Well, it is very hot; and I definitely think the erection is due to our connection to each other; he is European, and I think sexuality might be more fluid than we normally think of it here; by the way, his happy endings are exquisite--much better than most gay masseurs have given! in any event, I am finding that I greatly look forward to our sessions.

I'm like Lance. It's nearly always my goal to develop a relationship with an escort. I don't hire enough so that I would ever become a regular. But I like to go back to the same guys time and again. And I particularly like guys who set their rates to encourage repeat business.

I have regular guys who I see on a weekly basis. I do like to switch it up once in a while and meet with therapists who travel though our area.

 

What causes me to change (i.e. drop the regular) is when they get "lazy" or don't change up the routine. Given the highly interactive nature of the session, the client can pickup in a heartbeat if the interaction is mechanical....

Thank you. Reiterating what JV said, everyone's different. Including clients.

 

There's some regulars who are very "regular". They want the same thing, often simple and don't want to change it up. You'd think it'd become monotonous, but oftentimes I get turned on knowing and thinking about how things went the last time.

 

Other times, there's regulars who like a challenge. Maybe they're working their way up to Big things, and it's a different level each time. They tend to like the idea of an escort staying motivated.

The concept of an escort NOT liking regulars makes me feel sad for them and the client. I want to think that there can be some kind of lasting bond between an escort and a client. The sex may be commerce but these are two people with feelings. I hope they can have feelings for each other. I hope there can be some kind of intimacy. Perhaps I'm dreaming ...

[+ Just Sayin]

LADoug is on to something; I remember a movie called "Priest" when the actor playing the gay priest talks about the intimacy of sharing one's body with another; it is a very special thing; I have always thought about those words; I know this is a commercial transaction, but, man, it's a unique transaction and I remember so fondly many of the experiences I've had with masseurs and escorts. JS

[TruthBTold]

If you do have a regular client and things are becoming a little monotonous do you ever suggest a change to the routine to keep it fresh? Or do you feel slighted if the client suggests a change that might include adding another escort? As LADoug said the escort/client relationship might be a commercial one in the end but both participants do have feelings and if they have seen each other for a while the feelings might run deep.

[+ Truereview]

Language is a powerful and subtle force. There is strange vibe for me in this thread...repeats and regulars are odd terms for me. I don't want to be known as a repeat or a regular. For me, both terms imply transaction and robotic connection. It is almost as bad as calling me a John. Such terms should be used by transactional escorts (such as the guys Juan mentioned). I run for the hills when I catch a whiff that someone approaches their biz model with a how-many-widgets mentality.

 

I rather be referred to as a client. To me, client already implies repeats and regularity but also relationship-building (and not necessarily in a romantic sense). "Client" to me implies possibilities. I approach every first meeting wanting to be a client, and I look for escorts who approach the engagement with a similar mindset (to attract a client). I think once a client relationship is established, then you can tackle questions and challenges like what our wise @TruthBTold has brought up.
