I had a guy today asking for a Christmas special! Reduce my rates for Xmas? As if! Told him that if he was a regular client I would be happy to help him out now and then,  but otherwise my rates are my rates...

Not too happy myself.. Had a half hr booking at 12.15 but the guy cancelled, saying the ATM would only give him ?40 

This sounds like a polite way of asking 'what can i get for ?40' 

Yeah exactly, then I told him I do 15 min quickies (for which he had enough cash) but he said that "wasn't long enough"
Ayeeee right lol.
Thing was, he's been trying to book me all week, finally set a day and a time and he does that...!

I've foolishly done this a few times, normally it's been 10 off my normal rate and everyone of them has a been a nightmare to deal with during the booking so I don't bother now,it's not worth it.

I usually just say that I think it's unfair to my loyal, regulars to give reduced rates to a client I haven't seen before.  I do have special offers advertised on my profile which are discounts at certain times of the day, or oral only sessions which are very good offers and suggest that maybe they could have one of those sessions instead. But I do agree with you,  the ones asking for the world for a massive discount are usually complete nightmares if they do ever turn up! X

I have never found summer 'crazy busy'.

I think it will get busier from December then grind to its usual halt for Jan and most of Feb ....

July was mental for me, with the hot weather.. I'm dreading Jan and Feb as well though..   

IME and in others too February and sometimes a lot of January is dire.

.... And yes, 5 years in THERE IS NO WORK IN FEBRUARY.  Escort holiday time!!! Lol.

Everyone has their bills to pay and prossies are the bottom of the list of where to spend any extra pennies they may have.

I fully agree, when I was fairly new to the trade, I gave the rare one a discount, but boy do they take the Piss with EVERYTHING!

I had one annoying reg constantly haggling for a discount and also BB! I ended up telling him where to shove his custom and to go find a diseased ridden 10 dollar whore!

I now don't do discounts full stop but I do provide a 10 min blow n go service at a cheaper rate than my 15 min quicky.

As for the "Xmas whores", I've recently noticed 4 Romanian birds pop up, surprise surprise, all in the axact same location and their profiles created within a month of each other.....yes, I like to snoop now and again  haha.

They look gorgeous though, and undercut me a fair bit, but I still refuse to drop my rates, lol xox

My phone is ringing less than usual, but this week I've been hitting targets, and seeing 3 one hour clients a day. Some long lost regulars have been coming out of the wood work.
