Title: Working times
Post by: zara12345 on 21 February 2017, 08:43:13 am
Hi girls ! So I last worked on Thursday Where I had my two first ever bookings ! They went really well! Yesterday I was available 12:30-5pm and didn't get one booking ! I'm the same all week except I have wed off . The reason I've told my agency I can work like this is cos I still live at home and my parents will get suspicious if I'm all dressed up and just pop out here and there so instead I go to a coffee shop and sit on my iPad for that time. I can't think of any other ways of working so I'd appreciate some tips if anyone has any !?
What I'm asking is that are they normally quite times for anyone ?

Quiet times will vary depending on location and the actual hours that you offer.

It fluctuates I think; I don't tend to bother with weekends unless someone pre-arranges during the week and confirms early in the day. Weekends traditionally were dead for me, although recently I've seen my phone ring when I can't work :FF I think they know lol.

But I do think it is a bit of a 'how long is a piece of string' type question - I only work from 11am - 8pm, I can have a day where my phone never stops ringing and other days where I think its broken. Other people work far later than I do and do quite well. Some people work early mornings (as in 7-8am) and do quite well - the earliest booking I've ever had was 9.30am (prearranged) and it was just as well he was so lovely as I grumbled like mad when my alarm went off at 7am! I started escorting again because I liked my hours ;D

Are you able to stay out a bit later, say til 7pm? I think you would then pick up the guys who want to see a girl when they finish work at 5pm.

I understand your predicament.  But these are difficult hours you're trying to make money in IMHO, especially via an agency - you are missing the lunchtime clientelle and are finishing at the same time they do. 

When I very briefly worked for an agency it was 99% nighttime work.

Could you not say you had a part time job somewhere in the evenings?  Something like cleaning via an agency, so there isn't one number they could call to get hold of you and you can be vague about where you are working.  Then you can be out from 6-10 or something?

Well next week I've changed to 5-9pm after work. I'm going to stick to my 12:30-5 this week just because I've made plans with friends this week and other commitments. So. Fingers crossed thurs fri this week I'll get at least two bookings each day and will be very happy with this :)

Hi girls ! So I last worked on Thursday Where I had my two first ever bookings ! They went really well!

Glad it went ok :) I'm in the same boat as you so I totally feel for you in terms of the uncertainty  :)

I'm considering renting a very nice city centre two bedroom apartment for one week for incall clients (This will be my second attempt after my first disastrous one in which I lost my money because I didn't know about time wasters/advertising in the proper places) but the "apartment style hotel complex" won't let you have guests after 10 pm so in terms of the typical working day and general client preferences would this be a real disadvantage does anybody think?

I don't think so! As far as I know a lot of escorts don't work that late anyway.

No whilst I still receive calls through the night, I still get more than enough business during the day (9am-8pm and up to 10pm) and would say that's when the majority of [sensible]clients want a booking.

I don't work beyond 10pm, my last booking time is at 9pm and to be honest, if I offer it out, it's one of three things for me:
- a slow day
- I'm on tour so I'm in a work, work, work mentality anyway (but I still stop work at 10pm personally, others work later)
- a regular client that I do actually like.

I'd rather have my feet up, watching TWD and eating rubbish. There are women who do work a lot later - I think Gracious posted about working through the night, and like pretty much every escort I get my fair share of 1-4am phone calls. I've been a shift worker so I do relate to that lifestyle, but it's also plastered all over my individual profile not to call me at ridiculous o'clock so I'd wager that the majority of people calling me at twat o'clock aren't shift workers etc.

Lmao!!  ;D I do exactly the same thing! I've binge watched back to back series of TWD and just couldn't stop watching; same with Game of Thrones; Breaking Bad and Lost

Thanks for all the replies girls; it gives me the confidence to book this quite good hotel apartment type accommodation in Manchester city centre; which has been recommended by wg; if anybody wants the details of it then please pm me; I've got a short list of the best of the best hotel working environments which have been recommended the most by girls who've actually worked from them

I work 9PM-6AM always have done and always will. Once you wade through the drunks and morons there are some real gentleman that book at night.

I usually work 11am to 11pm and take my last booking at 10pm. That's a long day but I don't get early and late bookings on the same day all that often. I find my busiest times are 12pm to 2pm and 5pm to 8pm which I suppose makes sense. I'm always surprised when clients want 9am. Haven't they got a job to go to ;) I'm really not at my best that early :P so I try to suggest a later time and pass if that's not convenient for them.

I've got an acquaintance who's had several years experience and she said that same thing; she once had a lot of clients in a day that stretched into the night; she's very keen on night work; so I know that in some situations there's strong demand; I suppose it depends on individual preferences; although from a business point of view you earn more profit the more work you squeeze into a 24 hour period especially if your paying an accommodation day rate

Not that I am trying to spoil the party, any kind of shift work is known to be a health hazard.  Our body is regulated by the circadian rhythm.  When I was younger, I really enjoyed my night life so I entirely understand why some people prefer working at night.

Yeah I think some people suffer more than others; health should come before money; some science boffins did some research and found that people working on night shift  tend to suffer from depression

you should change your working time. Some days 12pm to 5pm, some days 9am to 2pm, some days 4pm to 8pm. Then stick to it and your clients will pick on it.
