agency to independent

[horsa]

Has anyone booked a girl through an agency, had a good time with them and then asked to see them independently/direct? (avoiding the agency fees)

[Jimmyredcab]

Yes.     

[jimbm55]

yes.

[TomR]

I booked a girl once through an agency and about a month later she rang me to ask
if I wanted to book her directly.

Happens both ways.

Just as well your wife/partner wasn't standing next to you at the time.     

[DeWallenFan]

How much did the girls knock off?

[TomR]

Yes it was but I was single at the time and it was a cheap PAYG phone which went
when I was with my last partner!

So the agency gave you her direct number then and it was not done at arms length through them?

This isn't uncommon if the girls english is up to scratch - because it avoids the problems of a three way relay of information at the last minute when you are trying to find the address.  I presume what happened was the OP called the agency, booked the girl and said roughly how long he wanted with her, and then they passed the details on to her.

When I used to book girls via agencies regularly, if I wanted to see them again I'd usually ask 'What is the best way of booking you?' - sometimes they would have a preferred agency, but usually they'd offer their number.

[horsa]

how did the girls take it when you asked them?

Yes they must have. I never gave my number to agency girls.

This is why agencies dont like girls to have punting phones, out call to mine the girl got a little lost so phoned on her own phone, said keep the number and just text if you want to see me again, then cutting out the agency fees, they all should have punting phones but not many agency girls do

[rubric]

how did the girls take it when you asked them?

Entirely naturally.  I mean it was at the end of a punt where I was clearly happy, so going from saying 'I'd like to see you again' to 'whats the best way of contacting you'  was fairly natural

Honestly, it's not so much dealing with prostitutes some people seem to have problems with so much as life itself.

[SuitedandBooted]

It is very common. Lots of agency girls don't see why they should pay 30% of the fee of the client becomes a regular.

Usually best to agree a discounted rate up front. Some girls try to charge the same and get greedy. Others recognise good clients and drop fees for overnights etc to something very reasonable.

Tells you a lot about the girl when you negotiate that rate. Greedy is not attractive.

I have years ago though I wont punt through Agencies again, all they ensure in London where I punt is I would have to pay more than I need to as there are many so called Indies who charge less, and brothels and parties.

I have never booked a girl via an agency and never intend to..... Agency girls are too dodgy!!

Some of the best girls I have seen have been agency girls - having said that - Some of the worst girls I have seen have been agency girls 

You pay your money you take your chance

[maxxblue]

Why do you say that, SC?

I would say that some agencies are definitely dodgy, but there are some that are okay.

Same as indies - some are fine, some are not.

[Marmalade]

Unfortunately some of them don't have the minimum intelligence requirements to work independently.

I've heard stories of Agency Escorts (like those from VIP Escorts) being thieves and showing acts of violence (mainly in the heavies they bring with them). I don't want to be victim to that. Forget it.

I think that there are good and bad in both indies and agencies - one of the benefits of being on UKP is finding out which is which.

[TomR]

Maxblue is right here. Where I live there are a couple of excellent agencies, well run, reliable and
if the girls aren't up to scratch they don't last. I suspect there might be more bad agencies in London
where there is a much more fluid clientele. Up in the north there are less tourists and wealthy punters
so the agencies need to be good to survive.

[vw]

Yes they must have. I never gave my number to agency girls.

which agency is not to be trusted then !

Spill the beans which pimp outfit gave the hoe your number ?

[TomR]

You've got me there mate!!

We are talking about 2004. In fact I used 2-3 agencies around that time
and couldn't honestly remember now which one she worked for.

Indeed, and some pimps are so thick they couldn't possibly get as much cash as they can by being a pimp and leeching off WGs. Agencies are a TOTAL bunch of greedy grasping pricks in London in my view, I would rather cut it off than ever punt through one again.

About 12 years ago booked a girl via an agency, it was New Year and could not get any body else. Also back in the days of yellow free ads paper. Booked an hour, she arrived late because she got lost and arrived at about 10pm. she finally left at about 2am and as she was going I asked if she worked outside the agency and she said yes, told me her real name and gave me her mobile number. For the next 6 months she came down nearly ever Friday evening and left on the Saturday morning, all for £140 a time. Obviously I was single at the time.

[Notpastit]

Interesting, have only used agencies a couple of times, usually use independents via phonebox cards in the old days , PN, A work, their own sites and so on.

Abt 12 yrs back saw 1 lady in Sth Ken area via an agency couple of times, £200 ph but top notch punt/smart location/no rush

After my 3rd visit she gave me her direct number, reduced to £160 ph so pres she was giving away more than £40 to agency?

Suited me as saved my time and money for direct booking, became a regular for a while until like they all do she disappeared into the sunset!

Not used an agency since so don't know if such "offers" are still available? - subject to research I guess!

[rafa]

Yes and still seeing her. One of my regulars she knocked of the agency cut and i am saving £50

[horsa]

these are the type of stories that i wanted to hear!

I'm not familiar with the London scene. There's two main ones on the go in the East of Scotland. One is run by two or three lazy fucker guys in a bedroom and a 'receptionist' who just about knows how to answer the phone. The other by a much hated fat cunt of a middle-aged woman who meets her prossies in a car park to get the money off them.

There used to be a Newcastle agency with a branch up here run by two gay guys. They made lots of cash but were otherwise decent enough and were comparatively respected by punters and WGs alike. Then there's the occasional trafficking entrepreneur, usually people we don't hear about until their names hit the papers, people who supply politicians, judges and people who can afford seriously inflated prices.

[Mysterion]

If you have ever been on LEG you'll know that lots of girls are registered with lots of agencies at the same time and there was also a thread here about agency girls with AW profiles, so in many cases there is no difference between agency and independent. I assume comes are easier with agencies as they will have someone manning the phones at all times rather than just when they aren't with a client.

[ramrodronnie]

I only ever used an agency once, got B&S. Never used one since, never will again.
