I'm doing the same, I take advance bookings with a pinch of salt now, so many cancel on the day that I'm expecting it. Don't know if they change their mind about spending the money or are always on the look out for cheaper but it seems if you are not available at at very short notice its a waste of time.

Yep, or they have a wank and forget they've even asked.

I'm ticking over nicely but am expecting next week to be quiet with half term. I did pay extra to go in the county as well as the town so maybe that has helped me.

Super busy today in West London
But had two shit days this week
Started off with no calls until it hit 3pm
You just never really know till the day….

I'm panicking a bit with needing to work this month and thinking for this month lowering rates a bit, If money is going to be tight with fuel and living costs going up it might be a smart thing to do or I might just be panicking. But most in my area are £200 an hour., I don't want to offer services I don't want to do to compete. Getting AW enquiries but from those with zero feedback and my experience askers are up and not actually booking.

It's difficult to tell with incomplete information but this seems to be true across the board?

I'm not cutting my rates nor am I bundling extra services. If the market isn't there it isn't there. If clients can afford top tier pricing they can afford me. I'm priced middle tier. I know a couple of local escorts have undercut by £10 and make a big thing of more PSE style services but I don't want to attract the kind of clients I suspect they get.

I don't see why I should cut my rates when every company out there is raising theirs. It's not my job to subsidise dividend payments for profiteering big oil or an incompetent government.

Understanding your client-base is key, something you realise. I for one have never seen the point of reducing prices because once clients and would-be clients spot this, they might start haggling for further reductions.

It's still a really erratic climate, I hope things pick up for you and have no doubt it will. We're coming out of a two-year pandemic and it's not a question of returning to normal, because the old normal no longer exists. While it is terrible for planning, all anyone can do is sit tight and take each day as it comes.
 

I'm seriously losing the will now.
 Idiots repeatedly calling on private number when i state they're ignored then today yet another booking to then cancel 50 mins later, "called into work on emergency"..... why make a booking then if that was a possibility!?
It's just BS.
They must be getting tired of just wanking soon surely!
