Multiple bookings

[MassageDrew]

To the escorts/masseurs, would you consider clients setting up multiple bookings? And would you give the client some sort of deal? Assuming you charge $200 per hour sessions, would you consider charging only $175 or $180 per session if the client books for 5 session (once a week or once a month)? And would you charge the entire cost upfront or per session? I don't think I've come across anyone's ad that has that option. Just curious.

Had a masseur in Maine who offered it for a 3 session pkg - but when I followed up (after my first full price session) he said he was no longer doing it??? It was like a $20 savings per session and was paid up front! made sense to me - He had cash on the barrel and sessions booked - if the client never followed through he still had the $$$$$$

Fine if you want to try that, but be sure that the first session is full fare. You can discount the second session further to compensate if you wish.

Yes

As a general rule, the most I will see a regular client is every 3 weeks. I suppose I would consider a discounted rate for a regular, but strangely the only guys who ask for discounts are guys I have not met before. I just tell them that I always perform at 100%. I don't offer an option where I give it any less, so I don't have an option that costs any less.

I think I can see why newbies might ask for discount as it is their first time. They want to get a feel for it first. However, there are ads out there, only masseurs though, that offer discounted pricing for first timers. You're baring everything for them, literally, and they want discount too? I guess I do see the point.

I know there lots of different ways my colleagues go about their business and that is as it should be. But I made a decision from the start that negotiating prices was not going to be part of my business. My model has always been to only meet with clients who I feel confident will be happy with my style, setting my rate at what I have determined that is worth, and always giving each client their money's worth.

[LADoug1]

The only time I ask about rates is when I book multiple hours and the rate for this isn't listed or part of their profile. How do escorts feel about that?

As @Kevin Slater always says, first meeting is ALWAYS at full price. I do offer greater discounts for longer engagements according to my already established fee schedule. I may offer special rates or offers for regular, established customers. I would probably never offer a upfront package deal like what I think you're describing, even for an established client.

Fair enough. Was just curious if this was something most providers actually offer. Most said no.

I'd view this as a case-by-case basis. Some people say they want that sort of arrangement and it doesn't come to fruition.

I offer discounts if clients prepay for their messages in packages of 3-5 or 10

[Maximus69]

I had something similar yet different, I had a client who wanted to book me twice a week, at first it went fine he paid at the end of each session. But then after a while he told me it would be better situation if he paid me later as he got paid every 2 weeks. He said you still will be paid just not at the end of the meeting but you will. It will work out, you will be paid and I still get to see you twice a week. I decided to do it as we were regulars at that point. Then weeks after weeks passed by and I was still seeing him but he wasn't paying and the amount of money he owed me was over 1500. it was then 100 percent clear he couldn't afford twice a week and I told him I couldn't see him until the bill was paid. It took him months to pay me all back, he then said he told me he knew he couldn't afford it all along but did it because he loved me and didnt want me to escort and see other guys. Anyhoo after that situation I don't do pay later, pre pays, allowances none of that, you pay me when we meet no exceptions

Im curious to know why you impose restrictions on the number of visits for any client? It's not like the commodity you're selling is a promotion. Am I missing something?

[Mount N Do]

Yes

Yeah well- I'd never ask YOU for a discount.

It's just how I prefer it. It makes the client more excited to see me and gives me more opportunities to meet new clients. I guess the only thing you are missing is that it's just how I like it. It's a perk we have by being self-employed.

All good. I respect your right to run your business as you wish. But what I'm hearing as a client is that you arbitrarily withhold services to make them want you more. Does that work for you? Not gonna lie dude, and dont take this personal, but as a client, that reeks of abject self-importance and a little condescending.

I don't think it's as serious as all that. My last response was meant to be more lighthearted than that. It doesn't mean that I have never seen a client sooner than 3 weeks. I don't consider it a significant factor. It is just a general rule of thumb that I like. If a client has made it clear he wants to be a repeat client, but I haven't heard back from him, the soonest I would follow up would typically be three weeks. The amount of time I feel is long enough for him not to feel like I am pressuring him and for me to feel like I haven't seen him in awhile. There really is nothing more to it than that, and this is the most thought I have ever even put into it. Of course, if I were concerned that I am losing out on potentially good clients because maybe I am coming off as self-important and condescending I would take that very, very seriously. But so far that is not the feeling I get from clients, and I am sure that I have never had a client who would say that I withheld services from them. I get that how you would see that as an issue. But it's not the case.

[gallahadesquire]

Sigh. If only there were a regular in this area. I have to make due with my irregularly irregular visits from my friends.

and gives me more opportunities to meet new clients.

I totally get that.

 

I like variety in my work, a lot!

I like variety in sex, a lot!

 

So I can only assume that some escorts also like a wide variety of clients, since it gives them both of the above.

 

And indeed they are self employed, why not chose who to meet according to their preference?

Cool- I just thought it was also a strange business model. I see a provider pretty regularly, weekly mostly, and I'm thinking if he was gonna restrict my visits, I'd just take my business elsewhere. I'm just saying...

My apologies to the OP for we've hijacked his thread, but this is interesting. I would think that most escorts would love to have regular clients that they're familiar with. As with any business, loyal and returning customers are always welcomed.
