i got my first client today at 6pm and im va little nervous about what to expect from the guys here in england. im sure it cant be too different from guy in hong kong. its a 1hour incall and ive charged him ?150. what prices do u girls here charge? i was just wondering because  ive seen AW and the girls there charge anywhere from ?60-?300 per hour. when i did a bit of escorting in hong kong with my friend, i charged ?320 but ?160 of that went to the agency i briefly worked for. now whatever i make, i keep except for the cost of renting my incall appartment. wish me luck girls, and i'll let u know how it all goes when i can.

Good luck!!
What was the business like in Hong Kong if I may ask? 

well my first client the other day went well. he actually turned up a little early, but that was ok, everything went smoothly. actually it must have went better than i thought cos he's already booked for the same time next week. he ask if i did repeat clients discount whcih i told him no. do any of u girls give repeat client discounts? he's asked if i could dress as a schoolgirl for him next time but i had to tell him that i couldnt as i don't have a school girl uniform at the moment but i said that if he was to bring 1 then i'd happily wear it and act it out with him so we'll just have to wait and see next week.

I don't give regular client discounts (although until I went super-part-time-semi-retired very recently, I did offer an advanced booking discount, but that's because it suited me, not because of any client asking for it) and it's definitely not common in the industry so base that decision on what you want to do rather than what a client "helpfully suggests". A higher initial rate followed by a discount for regulars could be good if you want lots of regulars but you might get tired of seeing the same needy, clingy men all the time. A moderate initial rate followed by a discount could bring out all the bargain hunters to expect more and more discounts and more and more services all the time (they are never happy and will wear the most enthusiastic escort down into complete burnout!). Any discount at all could actually put off first-time clients as they might think you're trying to 'trap' them into seeing you a lot when they prefer to visit lots of different girls. So... even though one client might say he a discount will improve your business, that might actually not be the case at all, where your other clients are concerned.

To be honest, from a personal perspective, I've never been asked for a discount by any existing clients but would stop seeing anyone who'd asked for one. I see no harm in escorts offering discounts to clients that they really like - it can make good business sense, if your normal rates are high enough to allow a little wiggle room - and I think all of us are happy to do things like see good clients for longer amounts of time without charging much extra. Whereas if a client was a miserable git, I wouldn't even consider seeing him for an overnight or longer at all, no matter how much money he offered! I think you can be flexible if/when you choose but it's just important that you are the one calling the shots.

Sorry - you probably know all that from working in Hong Kong, but I just thought I'd let you know it's the same here in the UK.

Oh, and I do the same thing re. uniforms/outfits. I don't offer roleplay and am not a committed 100% full-time escort so there's no reason for me to fill half my wardrobe with outfits; I'm sure I'd be happy to do so if my main income were from sex work, though. But for now I always say that I'm really happy to wear anything the client wants to bring along.

@isadorae - business in Hong Kong had its good as well as bad points. there were some days where i had no clients and then there were days where i turned a few down as i was either fully booked up or jus too tired from the clients i had already seen.

This sounds a lot like the UK - lots of ups and downs in the business but, if you work hard and market yourself well, you can earn overall a good income. Not millions or anything, but certainly a decent amount (although of course some months may be way less than others due to illness or holidays or burnout, etc). I don't think tips are common here, and from what I've heard on grumbly punter forums even if you tried charging a not-round number as your fee (i.e. ?145 or ?149 instead of ?150), they are not very impressed by that "con" for tips. Some clients are also even really wary of extras and will go out of their way to make sure there aren't any surprises with the fee. So I think generally it can be easiest here to just set a fee which gets you the right number of clients and the right weekly earnings, stick to it in a straight-forward fashion, and mostly forget about tips (although you do of course get the occasional nice one!). Again, it depends entirely on your preferred way of working, but I think all of us mostly want to avoid any "confusion" where clients don't know what to pay.
