At the end of the day its your choice if you want to up your rates. If your regulars dont want to pay thats fine, theres plenty of girls at their budget. Of course you can keep them on the old rate if you really value their custom.

However when I increased my rate from ?120 to ?150 all of my regulars except two had no issue paying the new rate. And one of my regulars was already giving me a ?30 tip so it wasnt new to him. The two who had an issue were the two I had small niggles about so dropping them wasnt a loss. Not only have I had less time wasters and idiots since but Ive also gained new regulars. I did post in my blog a good month in advance that I was increasing them though. I increased mine in January this year.

I decided to increase for a couple of reasons.
My plan has always for this job to be a short term thing. I want to start my own business and this is a means to an end.
So would like to start this new venture next year and eventually quit this job. However I do have some lovely clients and so may see some from time to time.
Some regulars have bordered or crossed the line boundary pushing asking me out constantly. If I said no im not going to change my mind now. Some have tried it on getting me to do stuff I don't do. So i just feel some kind of purge is due to weed out the ones I'm fed up with.
I think for new I will delay the increase until the new year and hopefully my regulars don't all revolt.

I put a thread up on regulars becoming pains in the arses....its once they get comftable coming a few times they change. Soon as a guy says to me oh im looking for a new regular girl. I reply that i prefare seeing new clients it works better for me to have new clients. I no exactly that they will become a pest and get cocky eventually. If you want to increase do it. Its your life and you have to be happy.

I think there's two different issues there though - a twat is a twat whether he pays 100 quid an hour or 500. If you don't enjoy a booking with someone, don't see them again. Regulars you do like, keep on the old price, and then just charge new clients a higher one. Also tweak your marketing and screening to try and weed out some of the idiots.

I'm just curious how you are dealing with these men, who keep asking you to date, repetitively or/and those asking for or expecting services, which are not in your service list?   Smile and tell them, 'let me think about it'?    I agree, it can't continue.  About pricing, why do you need any outside validation?  I have seen ladies, who charge a very high price.  Why should I care? Their business.  Everybody is different.

 Why do you shop in a certain high end shop, it's a rip off, some might say.  Again, it's their money, they can do what they like with it.  If everyone works in the same way, or spend their money only in one way, it would be crazy.

Whenever I've increased my fees quite a few regulars, usually those who aren't boundary pushers, have turned up with the new fee.

Whenever I've extended the old fee to boundary pushing regulars, they have stayed at the old rate and continued to boundary push.

The only solution I see for the boundary pushers is lay down the rules very clearly - they either stop or you'll stop accepting their bookings it doesn't matter what rate you keep them on, the behaviour has to stop. One thing I did was whilst laying down the rules is if they are on the 'old' rate, then definitely slip this into the discussion about boundaries because it makes it a bit of a double whammy on you and it can be useful for this to be highlighted.

These days I purge by being honest upfront, and anyone who's a little bit difficult or pushy I keep an eye on and do not offer any sort of discount!

I think you should stick with your price increase. It doesn?t seem like you are bothered about losing one here or there so go for it. You will actually attract new clients with higher rates too.
Last year I increased from 150ph straight to 190ph so an additional ?40 (outcall) and it did exactly what I wanted it to do; reduced the type of client I didn?t like and increased the clients I did want to attract. I also stopped offering 30mins.

If you have good reviews and always put your effort into jobs, I think you will be fine.

I think next year I will stop offering 1hr outcalls too. So only 1.5hr plus, just because if I?m going out I want it to be a decent wod of cash haha.

I won't change my  incall rates they stay set as affordable and reasonable ,since I started
I don't reduce as I will get  people trying to take the piss probably
If I start doing out calls next year I will charge a 10.00 extra for taxi fares local journeys
If they expect me to travel further I only increase the travel fee .or my petrol costs
