Given all the talk recently about price increases and changes of working and all sorts. I figured maybe a topic to discuss it all in one go may be beneficial so its not dotted around all different topics.
I will start with my thoughts and questions on this. Many Prostitutes claim to be business management experts. If you went onto another forum and ever said that any WG was not a business minded genius. It was literally a permanent pre-moddable offence (no joke on that too, it literally was). So with that in mind. There are some scenarios that I wouldn't mind discussing.
Business problem one. You have a scenario when you are finding yourselves not getting any bookings. Literally you are getting way less bookings you feel you should be getting and money is getting hard to come by as you need to pay the rent and utilities and so forth. You know that the reason why is due to competition in the area who are charging either the same amount or less than you do for the same thing. Possibly even offering a better service than you are for that same amount or they are even less money you are currently. Do you therefore
A. Raise your prices, or
B. Lower your prices to fix this?
Second business problem. You are still in the above scenario. Getting hardly any bookings, maybe 2 or 3 bookings per week. Do you thus in this dry spell just offer a normal service to those few people booking you as really in the grand scheme of things. Who cares if they choose to book again. As this is my service, so like it or lump it. And really if they are not happy they can find someone else to book.
Or do you go full on and give the extra mile and make them feel special and curl their toes. Give them some little bit of extra time as you have nobody booked afterwards and they are 'so fun to be around' and you are enjoying their company so much and thus 'lost track of time' in their company. And just go all out to make them feel special.
Third Business problem. You are in an agency, every girl is on the same rates as each other. Another girl in the agency is getting a whole load of bookings, the most in the agency by far, and you are not and thus are not getting enough and what you need. Do you therefore
A. Sit there in your bookings with punters who do book you miserable and moaning about how much of a bitch this other girl is, that you are just as pretty as her, and she is not all that and you know it. Or
B. Go all out, knocking those guys you see for six at how good of a time you offer. And be happy, cheery and chirpy throughout the booking.
Fourth Business problem. You have got hardly any bookings. You have only had one booking that whole week. You need cash. You tell a regular customer this problem, and so they say, ok so you have no bookings. How about we just do a booking where we have no sex whatsoever. We just sit and chat, or literally just sit and watch TV together just for some company. But for this, because there is no sex involved. The customer says they cannot really justify this unless its done at a drastically reduced price on your normal rates that you charge for that time in sex. Do you
A.Tell him where to go as you have standards and my rates are set and even if there was no sex that's not my problem. So refuse it on principal.
B. Or think, well I have nobody else booking me right now. This will be a very easy booking as I know we get along, and we wont be having sex or anything. So this will be an easy way of getting some pretty decent money for relatively little work I will be doing, so yeah ok so its nowhere near my normal 'for sex' rate. But nobody has been booking recently anyway so its not like I am turning people away for this to accept this offer. Plus its a regular who its always good to keep them happy.
Fifth Business Problem. You are on an agency who charge £100 for an hour to see you. But you have to pay them £30 commission. This means you come away with £70 per hour.
You have an adultwork account. You wish to tempt people to see you on Adultwork to thus not need to pay that £30 commission.
Do you therefore
A. Charge the same or even just less than the agency does to tempt people to book you independent. Thus meaning you get the full £100 and not the £70 you'd get if the person booking via the agency. Or
B. Charge more than the agency does. This means you get the whole amount and no commission to pay the agency and also some more on top because that guy was daft enough to not book me via the agency. Double score.
So like I say am just curious what gets said for answers to any of the above. Or if anyone has any more than the five above.
