MAXIMUM ESCORTS IS GOING OUT ON A LIMB HERE...

[whipped guy]

Hey One…

When I first tried to contact Maximum I did not get a response to my email either… even though I was very “discrete” in my inquiry due to the following proviso on their website. (Please note that the bold characters and underlining are part of the stipulation as presented on Maximum’s website.)

 

Our email is for information purposes only We do NOT book appointments through email. Due to the volume of mail we receive, it may take several days to receive a response from us. To book an appointment and for the fastest service, please contact us at the number listed above.

 

All emails containing requests for, or descriptions of any type of sexual acts will not be responded to, and will be deleted.

 

I was at first a bit perturbed as well but realized that sometimes things fall through the cracks and also wondered if how I had phrased my questions did inadvertently describe a “type of sexual act”. Due to that fact and since it is also stated that it would be better to call for the “fastest service”, I consequently gave Stephen a call and I found him to be the type of person who would literally bend over backwards to help you.

 

So next time around I might suggest calling as your initial route. Furthermore, Stephen is very easy to talk to, and more importantly is extremely knowledgeable about the guys in his stable.

OneFinger & Big Joey - Thank you for bringing this to my attention. As you can imagine we receive about 500 spam emails a day, so unfortunately sometimes a legitimate email gets accidentally deleted. We are fixing this problem today by requesting that everyone contacting us simply put "MAXIMUM" in the subject line so legitimate emails will stand out. I appologize that your emails weren't returned promptly, and hopefully this will all change now.

Gman - As we look at price restructuring we will definitely be looking at the pricing for our overnight and weekend appointments. While it isn't a huge part of our business at this time I believe we can increase it by pricing it right. I think we can find a way to make it more affordable but still make financial sense. Thank you for your input.

Stephen - I will call next week to arrange. If it is just a 1 hr. session and quick fuck and suck, there are lots of inexpensive guys on craiglist - if looking for quality, it would be nice to get to know them abit first to make it more interesting.

I know nothing about the dynamics of your business but how about a retainer:

 

Say $1,000 a month gets you four one hour per week visits prior to 5PM weekdays (you can get the same escort no more than twice in any four weeks) or 1,500 for the same visits after 5PM or on weekends. $1,700 gets you four weeks of two hour visits before 5PM and 2,300 for the same after 5PM and on weekends. Double the amounts and you get the services of two escorts each visit. Four an extra $500 a month, they get to use your facilities for these visits. The thinking is that: 1) you get some up front cash flow, 2) you get clients who can do so to move visits to times of the day when escorts may be underutilized, 3) you get a chance to send out some under employed escorts and 4) you get clients (and perhaps escorts for that matter) to expand their expand their tastes.

 

Just and idea

I must say that all the above replies were most informative and as an aficionado of rent men I will share my experience.

 

Some years ago I was fortunate enough to hook up with a NYC escort who was without doubt a 10+ from head to toe. He was the only escort I enjoyed meeting at his apartment and despite the 5-floor walk-up, well worth the climb. He'd meet you at the door in a different outfit for each visit. (Policeman, State Trooper, German Border Guard, Leather & Chaps, etc. and always wearing boots.) He'd chat with you in the kitchen-living-room area and at just the right moment guide you to a separate well-equipped room for the "action." The lighting throughout was just right. All in all, for me, the evening was both sexually and emotionally satisfying. He was professional, thoughtful and always hot. And a monthly steady for me during the full moon until he retired.

 

His fee was $200 an hour with a two-hour minimum. He had a steady clientele and only one client an evening. His bookings were one-month in advance and I usually booked for the full moon.

 

I'm sharing this experience for both client and escort. When you think about it $400 for two hours shows good business sense and an opportunity to bond that may very well become a more than once experience for both.

 

My full-moon escort stopped advertising once he established his regular client list and word-of-mouth (another escort recommended him because of a special request I had). Many of you know this 10+ and I'm sure you miss your visits with him as much as I do.

[whipped guy]

Mansniffing… Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

 

Yes! This guy had a lot of business smarts! Of course the fact that he had worked in marketing certainly helped foster his keen business sense… and while his lower fee did attract extra business, the real attraction concerned the fact that he was all about treating clients better that they expected to be treated. There have been others since his retirement who have shown me a great time, but none have equaled what I experienced in appartment E3 on that fifth floor… which as you said was both “sexually and emotionally satisfying”. In fact this may sound strange, but I often looked forward to the pre and post session discussions as much as the playtime itself… and that is part of what you describe as being the “emotional” aspect of the experience. If fact that is why I was usually there for over three hours for a two-hour session, as he often said it was part of his “job" to take you down from the emotional high generated by the actual session itself. In essence it was his singular ability to “bond” with the client that made him exceptional.

 

So what can others learn from all of this? It is simple. Give the client good value for his money, treat him well, never rush him, and certainly never overbook and the business will blossom from there. Of course the fact that this guy was a “10+” certainly was not a detriment either, but there are a lot of hot-looking guys out there, and it was his physical appearance combined with his enthusiasm and total commitment to his clients that proved to be the ultimate winning combination.

I think that previous posts have included a lot of good suggestions, especially reduced rates for longer appointments. I am a lawyer, a profession many have analogized to the subject of this forum, and one thing I heard years ago has proven true. You are much more likely to get more business from existing clients than you are to get new clients. You certainly don't want to discourage new clients, but when trying to increase overall revenue, concentrating first on existing clients is a good idea. IMHO, I don't believe a permanent lowering of your 1 hour rate is likely to help. I have a hard time believing that the increase in calls will make up for the discount, although, if the evidence of last August supports it, it may work for a short period. I would be curious to know how much of your business is with resident New Yorkers and how much with out of towners. With respect to locals, they may be willing to spend $X per month and so lowering the rate might lead to more calls but not more revenue. It is also possible that if people think they are getting a bargain, they could spend more overall, although for some reason I doubt this--market research required here. Also, as to the business travelers, as their overall travel slows, you could just be selling to a smaller pool. Personally, I was trying to arrange a quick weekend in NYC just this last week, in part to see young Benjamin again. What an able and willing charmer he is!!! But the flights are almost full for months (no exit row seats), forget getting an upgrade, and the hotel prices have gone through the roof, as many other posters have pointed out. $50 more or less on the escort price is basically a rounding error when you look at the cost of the whole trip. Finally, good luck! I have always found Maximum to be highly reliable and professional. You have a great stable at the moment and it would be a real shame if the economy took you guys down.

Stephen-

I am not adverse to paying the "resaonable" going rate in the city I am visiting. In NY, that seems to be in the $200-$300 range. I usually don't book for a mere hour and I am more inclined to be a repeat customer if I am offered a discounted rate for the second, third or fourth hour, and if I am booking for that length of time, the evening usually includes a great dinner, a nice bottle of wine or both. At least one independent gentlemen that I see offers discounted rates for multiple hour appointments. I am not sure what the general practice is with other customers, however, if I am a happy camper at the end of the encounter, then I also handsomely tip my guest. I have not used an agency such as yours in the past partly due to the fact that I really had no idea whether the posted rate structure is firm or negotiable. Just my two cents worth.

[stephen_maximum]

SF Traveler - Thank you for your compliments on our agency and on Benjamin. I hope you'll be able to come out and see him again (or that we send him out to see YOU!).

 

Regarding the lowering of our hourly rate my feeling is that we will attract new clientele who thus far found our price beyond their means, and that by doing so more guys will work more often, thereby making up the difference in volume. It would also be appealing to people who have used our agency in the past and are coming on hard financial times.

 

At this point all of the input we've received is leading me to think that a two-fold restructuring needs to occur 1) Lowering the hourly rate, and 2) Discounting 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hours. We already have a 5 hour "Evening Rate" and a 10 hour "Overnight rate" in place, both of which we will evaluate. We are also considering a few other special options that would occur in addition to the price changes.

 

Thanks for your input on this.

JeepMan - We have stayed firm on our first hour rate, but we have negotiated multiple hour appointments before. Even our current "Evening Rate" at $1000 suggests we encourage longer appointments - but this will likely get an overhaul too. An idea was suggested to me to create something along the lines of a "Dinner & Date" package that mirrors the type of experience you say you usually like to have, and I really want to encourage this type of business at our agency. Can you tell me more specifically what the rates have been like for you when you've had discounts on multiple hours?

Actually, I sent you too two Emails when you were running the "specials" (hotel included and a discount) few weeks ago, but never got a reply....

[jeepman]

Stephen-

Understand the need to remain firm on your first hourly rate. I would think that a reduction for additional hours would depend on how long a client is looking for. If someone is looking for 2 hours, then perhaps a $50 reduction for the second hour would be in order. If he is looking for 3 or 4 hours, then perhaps a reduction of $100 for those additional hours would work, but this can also depend on whether the gentlemen is seeing more than one client an evening. If not, then it may work out for both of you.

You referenced an evening rate of $1000- how long do you consider an evening to be?

My experience is that one gnetlemen's rate is $250 for the 1st hour and $200 for the 2nd. If I am looking to book for longer, lets say 4 hours, then the rates are $250 for the 1st, $150 for the 2nd and 3rd, $100 for the 4th, $800 for the evening (5-6 hours- in addition to a nice dinner) and $1000 for an overnight. This structure seems to work out well for him as he sees only one client an evening.

Have you also considered "frequent flyer" miles?

Hope this helps.

All the guys are Hunks. So hopefully Maximum will have a New Rate Plan up and running before the Holidays?

 

Not that unfortunately the BAD and getting worse "Economy" is going to Double Appointments for them. I guess we will just have to wait and see how 2009 goes for ALL of us! ;-)
