Regulars - Discounts

[Edward]

Do escorts ever give regulars a discount? Is it worth asking for a discount from your regular "rentboy". (for a better term)

[Keenan]

I offer discounts from time to time for regulars. Honestly I wouldn't ask the escort as it may come off as an insult but let the escort make the offer instead.

Gee I dont get WHY you guys think you are above being asked a simple question ? Why take it as an insult instead of just a simple, innocent question. I think your reply says more about you than about the client. In ANY business transaction, its NORMAL to ask questions. NO is a simple word, you guys should learn it....

Edward, if you are seeing the guy regularly I don'tsee the big deal seeing if there's an option for a multi visit discount. The worse he could say is no. The best he could say is yes.

I've never asked for a discount. I did have one regular, on what turned out to be our 6th meeting, tell me "This one is on me". He said that after 5 sessions, the 6th was at no charge. His way of letting his returning clients know that he valued their ongoing loyalty. I thought this was a very nice way of letting his clients know he appreciated them, and also a very smart business practice.

I've never asked for a discount either. However, one guy after the 1st time we met, only charges me the cost of the hotel when we meet up for a few hours. We have yet to do an overnight so i don't know if I'll be afforded the same type of rate.

 

Another, because of how long it takes for him to get to me when we meet up, will often discount the rate he initially tells me. I think he feels guilty about being tardy. However, he's such a sweet guy (and so into it when we play), I still give him what he initially asked.

Is that how you talk to your doctor, lawyer, priest?

Years ago, I saw a guy weekly. He was always short of cash on rent day, so I asked if he would like me to just make an bill-pay to him on the first of every month. We agreed that I would cut him a check for $X000.00 at the beginning of every month and continue our weekly dates. We also agreed if we missed a date during the month he would keep the fee, and if there were 5 weekends in the month, the 5th date in the month as a freebie.

 

The monthly stipend was less than 4 dates, but it guaranteed his rent check would clear every month, so he thought it was a great deal. We got to the point that I was scheduling my dates at his convenience, but I had more time flexibility than he had.

 

Now he's got a Master's degree, working in another city and when I'm in his town, he's my bed & breakfast with cuddling and when he's in my town, I'm his bed and breakfast, with cuddling. I've turned him into a wino as well.

What would the priest charge for? Do they charge to listen to confessions now or only if it's over 2 hours long?????

That is the LAMEST comment ever ! Oh come on, obviously I am NOT putting and escort in the same category as a doctor, lawyer or Priest, nor should they be. It doesnt take YEARS of special schooling and tons of money to BECOME an escort... All you need is a Boner , some lube and maybe a Gym membership. GET REAL...... We have been down this road with your silly argument many times before, and I'm still not buying it ! When the escort is able to perform surgery to save a life, win a court case, or comfort a congregation looking for direction, then we'll TALK ! How Ridiculous......

I have never asked for a discount. Well, except one time and it was a joke with an escort that I know very well. I had an appointment set up with him and I was traveling out of the country just prior to our meeting. Since I did not want to travel with the excess cash that I would need to pay him, I sent him the payment before I left. I asked him if I get a discount for pre-paying (totally tongue-in-cheek). His response? "I think we both know that you're getting a discount" :D That being said, I HAVE been the beneficiary of discounted rates from the guys I see regularly, but it always comes from the escort with no "suggestion" from me.

Same here. If offered, I happily accept, but I would never ask for it.

[jjkrkwood]

I ask for discounts on ALL things that are possibly negotiable...... Why not ?

So much of it is about how you approach the subject and how you phrase it.

 

Can I have a discount? -or-

 

I really like you. Is there something special we could work out so that I could see you every three weeks?

And ALWAYS include a "visual" when you Negotiate.

Can't speak for the clergy or medical profession, but in the world of large law firm practice we are regularly - dare I say routinely - asked for discounts by current and potential clients when discussing a new piece of business. Forty years ago, this would have been unthinkable, but the economics have just changed. We certainly don't think any worse of the client/prospective client for asking. Sometimes the answer is yes, and sometimes no, depending on a whole host of different considerations, how much business has the client given us in the past, how much are we likely to get from that source in the future, is the assignment interesting and perhaps likely to move us into a new and lucrative practice area, and the list goes on. That said, although I have often thought we at the bar are actually a lot like escorts -- we both sell our time and talent for money -- there is something a bit more personal about escorting that would certainly make me more reluctant to ask for a discount, although I would certainly feel comfortable asking about rates for multiple hours.

[rocky]

My friends, you've got me bewildered, or whatever word that may be. Have I asked an escort for

a rate reduction when I know I can pay, absolutely after a number of times together specificaly when

I get a call from the escort to get together and it was their request. Maybe as much as I hate Trump, it's the name of the game, negotiation.

[+ José Soplanucas]

I just got my AARP card. Escorts should start offering the standard 15% discount

The older we get the harder it is to get us off so our advanced age might constitute a surcharge.

[+ José Soplanucas]

We were just commenting in a private how puzzling it is that discussing the rates is often highly criticized here. I'm glad the are escorts who charge 300 and up, but I am even happier to know that I never pay more than 200, and often make deals for as low as 120. It is full of talented escorts out there, we should promote competition and do not defend a high prices market.

True no is a simple response. And yes it is normal to ask questions. The reason I feel the client shouldn't ask for a discount even if a regular is because unlike other services as an escort even though money is "exchanged for time" many times that money is for more than time. As an escort when we offer a discount we are not only discounting our time but in essence if you think about it ourselves. Just one perspective if you want to consider it.

Thank you Keenan, OK, so it's based on your perception of your self worth. Fair enough, but that shouldnt preclude the possibility of negotiation, or shame the client into NOT asking.

I am not on a "price reduction" soapbox. All I have continued to say is that the client has a right to ask, and all the escort needs to do is say NO if reducing the price is not in his wheelhouse. As one member, who is an attorney has said here, even he will entertain a negotiation of price, based on several factors. He looks at the bigger picture and not just the singular event.

[wisconsinguy]

I have not tried to negotiate charges. I see my escort of choice regularly and exclusively. We usually meet on extended weekends. Shortly after starting to see him, he was more than gracious in offering to pick up the tab for dinner, or the price of a performance. For us, it just turns to be a very mutual combo of sharing some charges, lots'o "fun times," and friendship.

If you see me enough, I would be open to discussing a discounted or modified rate. Normally what I do is I offer additional time for the same rate. I rarely offer an actual discounted rate for the same amount of time. I may possibly add a rewards program of sorts that would result in free or discounted sessions.

 

I'm going for Executive Platinum status.

I think this the best way to go.
