Hi,
I’m just launching incalls from a rented apartment as so far I’ve only been doing mostly outcalls and occasionally working from hotels. As excited as I am, Im scared about safety, as im going to live there, I am also rather worried whether the whole venture is lucrative enough. I’m giving it a six month trial as I’ve got the funds to cover the lease in case things get tits up.
Do you find incalls more preferred/popular with punters than outcalls or vice versa? Which attracts more business from your experience?
-
I work from hotels twice a week. Outcalls for me aren’t that often requested. I’d say maybe 75-80% of my bookings are incalls
-
I think so long as you've got the right venue, then yes, on the whole in calls are more popular.
-
Incalls 99.9% my end. But I purposely make my outcalls expensive as I spent lots of time working outcalls night shift and can't be doing with all the travelling!
-
I find it depends what you advertise, if you advertise regular incalls incalls will always be more popular.
When I stopped advertising incalls, suddenly I had many more outcalls than ever before.
-
Incalls definitely more popular as high volume but attracts a massive amount of timewasters and you need to be available at least 12 hours a day? - but can be controlled by switching the phone off, having a security buddy and hiding your cash.
I find outcalls better as has a very low rate of timewasters and can do 2 hour plus bookings, no cost of accommodation, just travel expenses
It does however relate to your screening and how far you are prepared to travel.
I stick to local area and do ok, but am close to 4 big well populated towns.
Trial and error, experience and also common sense is applicable to both incalls and outcalls
-
For sure incalls here, but I imagine that has something to do with the extra $50 they have to give me for coming to them *shrug*.
I'm not absorbing that; to get anywhere in Atlanta it's 30 minutes & minimum $25 in Uber costs, *minimum*. It's in the ad, but naturally they never pay attention to it; once I bring that to their attention it's amazing how quickly an OC turns into an incall.
-
I've done both incalls and outcalls over nearly 8 years in the game - Incalls have always been more popular, and as a result much more popular for repeat business.
But... I prefer outcalls as it means that when time's up I've got more control of when I get up and walk out, and also I'm not saddled with cleaning bedsheets, towels, the mess that guys always create in the bathroom etc...
Incalls much more popular though as from the punters view, all they have to do is turn up, do what needs doing, get dressed and go - easy.
-
for me, all my clients prefer incalls.
but i prefer outcalls sometimes, because finding suitable incall spaces is hard and expensive.
-
Clients have always prefered Incalls but on tour some don't mind visiting hotels
I don't do Outcalls to guys homes only hotels.
I don't have parking restrictions so they like that plus it's my own property so if I don't make money I'm not paid out for hotels each time.
I like to get away on tours to decent hotels but then pressure is on to make that money back.
-
I would say most prefer incalls, as it's usually cheaper for them and they can worry less about discretion for themselves or having to accommodate. It usually works better for us I find, as we don't have to waste time and money travelling (so more bookings per day), and it's more convenient having them come to us.
-
I started as a baby ho just doing outcalls evenings and weekends. I got probably 2-3 bookings per week.
Then I discovered day rooms and realised how popular incalls are.
I now only work on tour, not from home, and only do an outcall if it's to a hotel. I think I've done 3 in the last year, all of which were to guys who happened to be staying in the same hotel as me! So it's less than 1% of my business.
