hi, I am new to this site and to escorting for that matter! I have been thinking of joining a escort agency but its hard to know which ones are any good or complete scams? I know most of you on here work independantly but i just wanted to see if anyone has heard or come across any decent agencys in this industry?  i am looking to work in london or east anglia area and the agencys i have been looking at so far are.....

Abbeys orchids
She international
supreme 69
Park lane girls

any feedback would be appreciated!

thanx cherrylips have just had a look at that now got some good info! but just wondered if anyone knew of any reputable agencys. i wouldnt want to go straight into being an independant as think i need some experience of the industry first.

yes can be hard to tell between them!  i have tryed to select ones that have a landline number and will be asking about their security procedure! i only really want to do  it p/t so as long as they can get me that will be happy for now.

Hi my name is jessica I am an  escort myself

I have a great team of ladies working with me and have more than one agency site

London  & East Anglia  are some of my areas drop me a line ;-)

Broken Record Post#2: Jessica, I realise that you are new(ish) to the forum, and since Airport Honeys had a crack at it barely two weeks ago and I left that post I'll leave this one to but any more touting outside the appropriate section will not be tolerated, and further similar posts will be removed.

Once again, SAAFE is NOT a free advertising/recruitment site for agencies to fill their books, and I don't want newbies thinking that any agencies posting here are somehow endorsed by the site. No-one is saying don't post, just stick to the relevant topic and no more self-promotion, please.

I joined a company called Elite Agency back in July 2009. I had to pay ?300 to join for 12 months and a profile was made. I had to send some photos and sent them to an email addresse which was info@eliteagency.biz. I went onto the Internet to look at the website and it all looked good. The website was www.Eliteagncy.biz and was told I could work as an escort and get ?650 Per Day for doing it. A few weeks later in August 2009 I spoke to a lady called Max who said I was getting lots of interest on the international side. She told me there was a Italian Lady who had seen my profile in liked it and she wanted to book me. Max told me that on the international side of the business you get ?2500 per day! The Italian lady wanted to book me for 5 days so a total of ?1250!! I was nyeve and thought this was great. Max told me the fee for the international side of the business was ?2600 for 12 months. But because this Italian Lady wanted me she was going to pay half. So I had to find the other ?1300. I did get very excited and decided to go for it. I transfered ?1300 to their account which stupidly I didn't keep the account details. Any way after chasing week and week nothing happened and when I spoke to Elite they said The italian lady had not cancelled just postponed. Anyway December comes and suddendly I can get hold of the company. The phone number I had always phoned went to answer phone. I am very angry for myself for being so stupid and I have lost ?1500. Please my advice to people is to make sure that they no all the details about the company before any money passes hands, I wish I had! The phone number for the company was 08712180504

Im sorry Amy i did not realise! but thanks to all for your comments it has definately been food for thought!

Amy wasn't aiming her comments at you, but at mature escorts, if any of the ladies on here want to tell you about the agency they are with they can feel free to do so and it is their personal opinion and endorsement, so asking for recommendations is not out of order.

What the mods quite rightly object to is agencies comming on here and using the forum to tout their business.
Apart from that there is a special category they can use I think it's called the lions den, so blowing their own trumpet is out of order, especially if they have been told before.


So keep posting Reds girl!

I dunno im thinking out loud now lol and at the end of the day i know its my own decision, but im guessing many of you work independantly for similar reasons?  Redsxx

Yeah, you're right there. I've worked for an agency and now I'm fully indie, though I did both for a while. In the end agencies are more of a pain than they're worth - taking some of the money that you've earned since they 'found' your clients for you, when a profile on AW will find you more clients than you even need for free! I know their commission is technically for them vetting clients and checking security etc but you really can't rely on them for that. Often more than one person works an agency's phones so even if the agency owner tells you all the right things at your interview, the people they employ may not have even met you or have any reason to be overly concerned with your security. I think at my agency, out of the 30% commission, maybe about 10% went to the phone bookers (a different one each day of the week) so they were desperate for clients and hated girls who argued or were fussy or not available 24/7 with 5 mins notice. Also, your commission pays for their advertising but 30% of your entire monthly earnings? That's a lot of money and you can get a few paid ads (plus dozens of free ads) for around ?100 per month.

Hmm. I'm a bit biased maybe. But that's only my experience and doubtless other people will have had differing ones. I think everyone would agree though to stay away from agencies that can't even sound professional over the phone! I really think that's a terrible indicator of their general attitude - eg any client is fine, all girls should see anyone and offer all services, girls mustn't complain about smelly/rude/abusive clients, agency will do anything to get more clients (like lower your rate without even asking you about it to persuade a client to book you), plus lying to clients over the phone about your appearance so when they meet you, they aren't happy. And then hounding you for your commission 24/7 and if the owner is male, he'll probably want to f*ck you, too. Nightmare!

I think one or two or all or a mixture of the above reasons are why so many sex workers prefer to work independently. With the Modern Internetz, it's pretty easy, too. Have you checkout out the security buddy section of this forum? If you can find someone in your area with experience in escorting you should be able to get more specific and useful advice about exactly what steps to take next. Plus, very importantly, someone on the other end of the phone who can be there when you're nervous, or meeting a client for the first time, or puzzling over some silly timewaster's email!

Also, this forum happens to be the perfect place for newbie questions, too.

Your plans sound great and of course, down the road you might hear from another escort who you trust about an agency which really is great to work for, so nothing has to be absolutely ruled out and you're totally free to work in different ways at different times depending on what suits. Escorting in general has got to be the most flexible career path in the history of the world as well as the oldest etc etc.

As far as advertising goes, a good idea is to check out the websites of other escorts (lots of the women here on SAAFE have their sites linked - you can click the little picture of a globe under their name next to any of their posts) to see where they're advertising as they'll have links on their homepages to various directories. If you go with established and successful escorts (like the women here, again!) you'll pretty soon see which are the most popular directories to advertise on. Also you've probably already seen the main site article which, if I remember right, mentions dailyjolly.co.uk and loads of other good'uns.

And since you mentioned the word meat-market I'm reminded of Adultwork.com, too. Great place to start when you're new but make sure to put your anti-timewaster and anti-nutcase hats on as you'll get a million emails, 50% of which will be composed by people from planet Crazy.
