Clients asking if you have any friends you can refer them to?

[JoeyBryant]

....I had someone ask me this yesterday who I never met. He wanted to set up a meeting but I had mentioned I wouldn't be arriving back to the area until later that evening, and was asked if I "had a friend" who also does this who may be able to arrive sooner (and in this case it was a local). At first I thought he was referring to a 3 way scene until the last part.

 

I do know some guys tend to work together, but unless it's specifically stated in the ad...isn't it a bit insolent to be asking to be referred to someone else when you're trying to arrange an encounter with another?

If the client contacted you about an appointment for tomorrow and you were out of town until next week, I could see him asking if you could recommend someone who might be in town. Even then, you probably don't know other escorts' schedules. To ask for a referral to someone who might be available earlier in the evening is rather unrealistic, given you would not know who was in town at that particular time. that said, I do not find the inquiry to be insolent. You weren't available when the client was and he asked if you knew of someone who would be available. I see no harm done.

I've asked but it's in the situtation that rvwnsd mentioned, where the escort was out of town when I contacted him. He was very gracious and immediately recommended someone else - who, as it turns out, was also was out of town that day.

If he had time constraints that precluded a later meeting with you, I see no insult in asking for a referral.

it's good manners to offer an alternative. it's also good business to be charitable to others

 

theres no harm in not being selfish

Lust in my experience at least is an inexhaustible resource.

I think it's a fine request if you were not available. You could possibly set up a reciprocal situation with an escort friend so that you refer each other business you cannot take.

If the scenario is:

Client called you to make an appointment -

You are not available -

Client asks you for an alternative recommendation -

 

Nothing wrong with the client asking. HOWEVER:

 

There was a previous thread on this type of situation which I can't find. But the gist was that YOU run some risk. If the recommendation doesn't work out well for the client he may hold you at least partially responsible in his mind for the "failure". The advice was to be very cautious unless you have faith in whom you're recommending.

I fail to see any issues with the client's behavior.

Thanks for the replies...

 

I was able to see the parts where it did make sense, however I still thought the question was a bit brazen. Of course, it's not the first time I been asked the question, but it's generally been by clients who already seen me regularly and I was either moving or they wanted to include someone in the scenario.

 

For a first time contact, I think it'd be similar to me asking a client I never met yet if he'd know another client to refer me to (an indirect way would be writing a review, which is different). I don't operate an agency. I don't have a list of available men at someone's beck and call if I'm not available.

 

And I believe I mentioned it repeatedly, I don't collaborate with other guys. I've already tried that on 3 separate occasions and it didn't pan out. Most of the ones I've met have gotten close just to find out how you're doing, not to create a business partnership. Even if I did extend the offer to someone, what are the chances of them doing the same for me in the future?

You are most welcome.

I agree comepletely. It was very brazen, particularly since he was asking about earlier in the evening.

I think it is odd. Not harmful, but odd.

I've posted on a similar subject a few months back and the pitfalls of it

 

http://www.companyofmen.org/showthread.php?88208-What-does-an-escorto-owe-a-client/page5&highlight=holiday+undercut

 

Been there, done that and posted about it on here. A while back I was on holiday when a regular of mine found himself in town last minute covering for a colleague at a conference and wanted me for 2 hours. I was away so recommended a guy I knew in Newcastle. He went, did the appointment and thanked me for the work. Cost me about £10 in roaming costs to set up when I was abroad.

 

A month later I seen the client for our usual 2 hours and my "friend" offered to undercut me by around 25% if he booked him instead. My client didn't like that sneeky approach considering he knew I was 3000 miles away and helped put him

and the other escort in touch that night and warned me about it

 

Needless to say I've never done it again

[JoeyBryant]

Exactly Steve....

 

You give them an appointment, they want to take the client. The inch and foot scenario. Sorry to describe it like that, but I never put anything past other dudes. Even the odd time I invited a newbie as a 3 way with a regular client of mine, he wasn't even grateful for it. He couldn't get hard, and then afterwards regretted doing the whole thing. I'm like dude, here I am trying to make you money and you're bitching?

I feel like this has been an issue for many of us. For me personally, they had to be on a computer for them to find my number or contact information which means they probably could find someone else on their own. You don't know what they like as some people have interest in different things. I understand most here saying it is nice to pass some business someone else's way. However, you don't know how they are as an escort. Most escorts don't even get along i've noticed. At least here in Raleigh they can be very caddy toward each other, my guess is because each one views the other as competition. Also we are escorts not personal assistants, usually when we are busy we don't have the ability to go and search for someone else to refer a client to. It sounds mean but just as the client may be at a loss for time we may be too.
