You shouldn't need to come out and pick up punters if you're working from a suitable hotel - you need to choose somewhere that they can walk in, get in the lift and come straight to you. If the hotel names removed were budget chains it's likely the lifts and corridors require a keycard to get past them, but this isn't the case everywhere and plenty of people use them for their incalls without any problems.

Maybe plan an incall day and advertise it a couple of weeks in advance; you can either stay at a hotel for a couple of nights and get a full day in or use a day room (there are special websites for this). Make sure the room is cancellable at short notice and you've nothing to lose

I thought so, but posting names of hotels we plan to work from on the public board doesn't make our lives any easier

I rarely do outcalls but it's mostly laziness that stops me - I also don't work late in the evening and won't visit private residences, plus I have a minimum booking duration for travel outwith my immediate neighbourhood so all of those things reduces the number I get (maybe four or five a year - I think I've done three this year). But I offer incalls, so that's not really useful to you and if punters want to see you then IME they'll find a way.

Assuming you can travel fairly easily and cheaply could you offer some kind of special rate for punters who book ahead and pay a deposit, or even just for bookings between certain times or day? Is your availability pretty flexible or more limited?

I changed due to life changes from mostly incall to mostly outcall.

Took a while to build up outcall clients but before this change one of the reasons I couldn't accept more outcalls, was often because I was already booked incall - so I knew the business is there.

I do receive more requests for incall but some do book accommodation or change to outcall so that they can see me. Also I set my outcall and outcall fees and deposit the same, so an outcall if the client has his own accommodation is not necessarily unfavorable price wise. However I do have extra travel fees to some locations, but he's saving himself fuel and time.

I like plenty of time between bookings, outcalls do that and no bedding to change.


My advice is find what works for you, stick to the boundary.

I never change bedding.

 I think incalls are far more popular, but I do get more outcall requests than I used to. My outcall price is higher than incall, and if I'm honest, I prefer to stay home. Driving around just exhausts me. However, I have had a weird stalker turn up at my house unannounced recently, so it does have its risks...
