Repeat client rates
« on: 01 November 2024, 10:03:06 am »
Hello,

I am very new to this and there is a guy I have had a booking with recently, it went well, I enjoyed it and he was happy with his service. I have another booking with him but he is asking about repeat client rates so he can book me more regularly. Is this even a thing? I have not heard of this before but I am reluctant to say no and lose a potential regular customer! I usually charge £200 per hour and I am unsure of what would be a fair rate if I did offer a discount. I feel like asking for a reduced rate is rather disrespectful tbh.

He's a haggling cheapskate who is trying to take advantage of your inexperience, and best ignored.

Your rates are your rates regardless of whether you've known him ten minutes or ten years, and whilst you can offer discounts or freebies to anybody you like of your own volition, asking for them is rude and disrespectful as you clearly know already :)

Hey there!

I definitely agree with Amy (the administrator). This gent should always pay your full asking fee. He also may ask to see you for the new haggled price but decide not see you again after that.
 
As an independent escort your fee is always set at the price you feel most acceptable, for you.

A client should not dictate your going rate and you should never ever feel pressured into changing it for the benefit of the client. If he cannot afford your going rate he will be able to find another lady that best suits his budget and preferences.

A client that respects your boundaries and needs will understand this.

I really hope you are doing well, and that you are finding your feet!

If you have any questions or just fancy a chat feel free to message me.

When I first started a few asked me for repeat booking discount, these then became unreliable, boundary pushers who I really struggled with. These days anyone who has a reduced fee has it because they've been booking me a long time and do not push boundaries - but majority do pay full rate either by their insistence or because it doesn't make sense when I have more than enough clients.

If he is asking in my experience it's a bad sign.

Long time lurking and this is my first post, I've learnt a lot from this forum and it's about time I made a contribution back, so I thought that I would finally chip in with my views as I don't necessarily agree with what people have said so far.

If you get the right punter then discounts for regulars can be mutually beneficial. My experience with one is that he was booking me about once every 6 weeks for two hours, he then just made unprompted comment at the end of a booking that he would love to see me more but he wasn't able to afford it.

I didn't say anything at the time, but emailed him a few days later and said that I'd be prepared to offer him a 25% discount on my 2 hour rate if he booked to see me at least twice a month. There would also be further conditions in place that he could book me only for either AM or PM on a specific day and I would let him know what time I wanted him to come the day before as this enabled me to slot him into any gaps that I have in my schedule. I was expecting him to come back and try and renegotiate the terms, but he accepted them!!! I didn't for one minute think that this would be amenable to him, but it was!

He was always very reliable, clean, never cancelled, was polite, courteous, didn't boundary push, always booked 3 to 4 days ahead and never tried to overrun. Any overrunning that happened was of my doing, he is good conversation and he is an easy booking compared to some others that I've had.

We've had this process in place now for 7 months and it's working well. It was a win-win for me, I appreciate that this won't last forever, however, it's working well for me, for now. The only disadvantage I would say is that I've got kind of use to the income that he's providing and I would miss it if he stopped.

The only advice I would give if anyone was contemplating giving a discount would be to agree the terms up front and make them clear, confirm in writing on AW email! Also specify that if they don't come and see you for X number of weeks then the discount stops and it reverts to full price.

None of my repeat clients have asked for or been offered a lower rate and because my rates have remained the same for many years then my belief is that they should be pleased I don't do regular price rises.  If a newish client were to ask for discount as he'll "become a regular" then I would simply smile and say a polite no. It would not be up for discussion 🙄

Only my long standing regs have ever been given any kind of slight reduction , not even that just the ones I like I have told them to just pay my old rate which is only £10 difference than now

But these are men I’ve been seeing like over 5 years plus

You have seen this guy once he isn’t a regular he is a fucking chancer

Tell him it’s the same rate

Suggest he stay at home and have a wank if he won't pay your normal rate.

Why should you offer a discount on your service?  No way!  You provide a physical service and should be paid the going rate that you set .  If you feel uncomfortable with him asking, then your service won't be up to par as your mind would be unsettled.

I don't have a return client rate, and have never heard of it. I've been in this world for 15 years too. The guy is definitely trying his damn luck.

I tried a discount once in my first month of working, a vastly reduced rate for "just a massage", and yes, you guessed it, he wanted then to touch this and do that etc, and I've never ever offered a discount again.

No way. And absolutely definitely not if he’s new. He is trying to take advantage of you.

Trust me there are many more punters out there.

Best not to give discounts to people that ask, as those are the ones that will mess you about. I personally discount a few of my regulars, but they see me once a week and are no bother. No harm in discounting people you like and know you'd see more of, but the guy in your post just sounds rude!

I recently put my prices up, and a regular booked with me and normally pays bank transfer, I was happy to keep my old price as he usually leaves early anyway. But he said he noticed I’d put my rates up, I said oh don’t worry I was going to keep it the same till the new year, but he insisted on paying my full rate. Those are the clients I love, no haggling, respectful. I wish they were all like that!
