I’m honestly not sure what’s going on...it’s quite depressing.
I started today with a booking but just had twats calling since. Yes I agree the last 3 weeks have been utter shite. I had one particularly good day and then took the following day off to chill then the rest of the week was practically nothing. Bills piling up too.

I’m hoping things pick up fairly soon :/

Usually when i visit London I'm  nearly fully booked and get loads of messages when go AT, this week, 1 prebook and about 4 messages and only 2 of  those turned into short bookings.

After a long break, I returned a week ago and certainly the business is much quieter than I expected  :(

I think it is all this Brexit doom and gloom talk on the news putting people off spending money.

I hope they reach a deal by March or I dread the actual work in March .....!

I disagree it has anything to do with Brexit. The last thing on men's minds when they are horny is Brexit. More like can I afford to spend X£'s this week or not? Then there are the myriads of men who do not have to dither whether X£ will make any difference to their budget.

I don;t think it's brexit, people are just coming back from holidays (or going in holidays as september is cheaper to travel) or realizing how much money they've spent. Things will pick up end of the month.

As I tour over the past few months now I hadn't noticed any significant change in business.  However I did find that Brexit problems made my business a bit slower before touring, certainly over the past 18 months.  Hopefully it isn't a factor though eh.

I think there are a million things that affect business, some we can control, many we can't. To pinpoint one thing as being the reason is naive.

Unless of course your entire clientele comprises low cost European airline pilots and cabin crew who may indeed be very concerned by Brexit and Brexit alone, then I'm sure it's not the culprit. And I'm quite sure they get paid enough to book an escort when they fancy one anyway!

The more we focus on external issues being the problem the easier it is to not change the things we CAN control. I'm not saying there is an easy answer, we run businesses and custom will always fluctuate. I'm sure T*sco's earnings vary wildly from day to day. It's about doing the best we can and taking responsibility for our own earnings, changing and improving what we are able to reasonable change. And helping each other out on here too!

Ditto - except it's been since I started up again in July.
Touring initially helped make up for it -  earning in 3 days what I used to get in week at home but now even that's drying up. I feel so hopeless.

Here's my recent run:
* Several inquiries but just 2 clients in 2 days at Leeds (27th - 29th July)
* 2 customers; 4 inquiries in 1 day at Birmingham (13th Aug)
* 3 inquiries; 0 customers in Nottingham. It was so slow and the hotel was so bad that I checked out the same day I checked in (3rd Sept)
* 2 customers; 15 inquiries in 3 days in Edinburgh. My room mate did better but still only had 4 customers (10th - 13th Sept)

What is particularly worrying is that Birmingham used to net me 4-5 clients a day and the phone would be so busy that I'd not have time to grab meals and when I set my location to Edinburgh, to gauge level of interest, I had 20+ enquiries in one day yet it was just 5 a day at most when I turned up last wee' yet both now fail to deliver.

I'm due in Leicester next Mon-Wed and I'm dreading it seeing as the bigger cities are providing meagre pickings.
