The couple of weeks I have been really busy and the phone has been ringing constantly. The thing is and I'm not meaning to sound bitchy here either but every month someone is saying there must be a reason for it being so quiet, it's the recession, it's the summer holidays, it's too hot everyone's out with their with their kids ect, then it's because it's a bank holiday or it's been raining I mean there seems to be new reasons invented every month I mean come on lol! I'm not being funny but I know several girls that are always busy no matter what so I don't believe it's always down to a particular reason but rather rates, area and other things like your profile ect.
Ouch! Some ladies might live in the wrong area where clients do rely on their monthly salary more than others.  Some men do actually like to spend the hot days out with their children and families. Some ladies might prefer not to drop their rates or offer specials in which case certain clients can only afford to see them once a month now instead of twice.

There are various reasons why some are doing ok and others are flush with money. 

There are patterns with regards to client visits and I have actually started taking note of them so that the days that I know I will only have one visit instead of the 3 I arrange my day around.  Majority of the ladies are also single parents so not able to be available 24/7 but just between 9 - 2pm there are so many factors that can be taken into account.  Nobody is making excuses for them being not so busy but just wondering what the reasoning around it could be.

DMD I really think you took my comment wrong. I never said I'm always flush with money. All I am saying is the reasons on here get abit silly. And Strawberry fair enough but I know of girls that can still see 3-5 clients each day if they want to (no not me) so my point is there are men still booking these women!

It's okay for me at the moment but then I only see 3-4 men each week (my average is actually going up!), what I have noticed though is the quality of the bookings, I would say around here people are just being more sensible with money. When I say quality I don't mean I'm inundated by good looking sex gods or anything like that, but I mean the longer appointments with people who are looking for a connection, real FFM bookings and couples booking me. This is only recent and each time this type of booking comes through I'm waiting for it to turn into a TW, but they aren't, touch wood! I've just jinxed myself now! LOL!

Strange that you should say that Diana,  I have to agree the quality of bookings seem to have gone up.  I am also receiving a lot more domination bookings lately.

Kylie, unfortunately it is how you came across you have to be more careful with how you phrase things hun. :)

its not always about where you live /work from   i see it as how many regulars you have coming back to see you more so than new ones   
i have just left an area where i normally do   900- 1200 euros a day so maybe anything from 5 -10 clients a day depending on prices  without batting an eyelid  and have done this amount consistently for the past 4 years whenever i visit  its probably the best place that i visit and i have loads of regular clients

i was there for a week this time and another escort who i bumped into in the hotel so we started chatting to each other 
we both said how quite it was and i mean it was dead i.e. checking phone to make sure that they had a signal and working dead

 ( i was thinking it was me  doing something wrong ect but no she was just as quite as me and we are both well reviewed , well known escorts who know our job  )  we both agreed it was nice to know that it wasnt just one of us that was quite it was both of us
 
I mean this is an area where  you cant sit down , cigarettes are always half smoken, and you eat when you can,   its normally that busy all the time but this time we both had time to chat, have a bit of a laugh ect even go out to the shops as well  which is something  in this  place you rarely cant do Its that busy,   

also it was her first time there so she should have been rocking and rolling and it wasnt until the last day for her ( and i left early as well ) that our phone were going back to normal and ringing loads but by that time i had had enough and left
we even dropped our price to 150 euros to see if that made a difference but it didn't   If i hadn't of had my regulars there i would have had a really crap time

I guess what I'm trying to say is there is no rhyme or reason to this business any more  you take what you can when you can and hope it continues and keep your regulars coming back  for more

It's been really, really slow for me. I was offering incalls today, was featured, number up - and I got nada, just a call from a woman who started speaking in Japanese  ???.

I really want to take oral without off my likes list, as I'm super uncomfortable with it - but seeing as though it's so slow now, I'm afraid that if I do all my work will dry up completely.

I don't think it's my profile (lots of lovely feedback, and a few field reports), it's not my prices (?20 lower than the last time I offered incalls)...it's just really f*cking quiet.

I remember when was featured last year and showing avalible today recently that some times it does well. But the majority getting the idiots.  So now showing avalible for phone chat on aw attracts the sain ones and advertising on a different site does well most of the time. With the odd few low number days, but don't mind as do personal things.

I can still get my three a day but the phone doesn't ring NEAR as often, I get far more time wasters and people are booking for shorter amounts of time.

my rates as very reasonable for my area. I offer specials as well.

I talk to clients who are self employed and they are suffering - the landscapers, personal trainers, IT specialists and builders. all have said "it's quiet. not a lot of biz"

Today was really, really quiet. when I started 7 months ago, I was doing very well with no problem starting out after I worked out a proper booking system. it has slowly gotten more quiet over time and with more TW.

I do think it's the economy and I'm in an area where there is low unemployment compared to the rest of the country! And I think those who have been in it longer have the benefit of more regulars to count on.

I would agree with a lot of the comments on here. I just started working again six weeks ago after having a break for the best part of a year (apart from seeing a few regulars) and noticed a big difference. I've had hardly any 'normal' jobs but quite a lot of overnights instead.
There were times while on tour with another WG recently that I thought my phone was broken because it was so quiet, and other times when it rang non stop. The funny thing was that neither of us were really busy at the same time, she had busier mornings and I had busier nights, even though we had advertised at the same time in the same places. So there really is no rhyme or reason to it.
I guess we just have to accept that sometimes we will be busy and sometimes we won't and just hope for the best that these times coincide with when we actually want to be busy or quiet.

Sometime the time seems never to pass by...
cancelled booking and cold weather is the perfect marriage for a boring day.   
Jumping among websites and blogs, forum and social networks.... it's not very satisfying.
Kilos of chocolate in any shape, color and flavour... only good at being gazed all the time as they are full of calories.... and for a choc-addicted like me, this is a really torture.  :FF
my clients seem to know just chocolate and flowers as form of gift, so far no-one had the brilliant idea to give me a brilliant   ;D

I set myself a target each week, I find Tuesdays are dead so tend to add the loss of business for that day to the rest of the days.

I sat down with a calender and logged my days and clients for the day and phonecalls received and just worked out which days and weeks are more productive than others.
