Pinki's Passions

very well said by Cat. I too understand the methodology of taking into consideration the 'cost of operating'. Many potential clients think that I just sit at my computer and 'wait for them to appear', little do they know what must go into the business. As I said, very well put by Cat.

Thank you everyone for the feedback, it certainly has become a valued source of information. I took into consideration what everyone has said and I took another look at my advertisements that are out there. After reading the feedback, I revamped my ads to reflect a 'more quality' aspect of myself ( not that it wasn't quality to begin with, but this just made sens to do). Taking into consideration the 'cost of doing business' and the fact that I do save clients around $100, as i do provide incalls in a very clean and desirable place, I decided to re-do the ads in order to attract a higher-end client, it worked! Not only have the responses to my ads been fair and just, I seem to have all but eliminated the so-called 'just want casual sex' person that has no idea what goes into being prepared for a client. I have been doing this for almost 10 years and usually adjust my fees according to demand and location. I do consider myself high-end and give clients what they want, so I have adjusted my fees accordingly. So, I thank every one for the feedback, it was well worth posting!

thanks for the invite!

Being very new on here, but not new to the business, I have had a lot of trouble with setting rates. Obviously the more involved the circumstance and longer the 'date', perhaps there should be a difference in structure of 'price'. I have had requests (not here, but on other sites)where once a man has given me his request of what he is looking for ( I do ask for details on what they are looking for, to make sure that it is a service that I provide)only to be told things like, "if I wanted to pay that much for sex, I would have gotten married", or something similar to it. What a lot of men don't realize, I found, is that we are providing a service to them. We pay complete attention to them for the time period that we are with them. We take everything into consideration when meeting them whether it be for the first time or another date. I try to set my rates to take into consideration that if I want a high end client, I have to have high end lingerie, immaculate grooming, appropriate clothing and shoes, and have fabulous dental work. I have had requests for so called 'full service' but can I do it for $45 for an hour! I politely decline. I am never rude, just polite at all times. What some men have to realize is that we provide a service for them, they are expecting more than what the wife/gf/SO gives to them, and we do it without question or headaches. They want the all encompassing beauty queen look, without taking into consideration what our costs are to maintain this. I had a guy just today tell me that he refused to introduce himself to me when I showed up in the location, as I didn't look like my pictures from the ad I had running...... I am naked from the back in one picture and seductive in high end lingerie in the other picture! He actually wanted me to show up in a very public hotel lobby looking EXACTLY like the picture! I was dressed appropriately according to the instructions he sent me, but I waited for an hour and then went home, I got an email from him stating he saw me and that I didn't look like the pictures! There is no way that I would ever go see a client in a public place dressed just in my lingerie, or naked! I wasted three hours of my time, and dissapointed another regular client, as I couldn't provide the regular client with a time today. (and of course I called the regular client and apologized to him, he rescheduled) I would never think of turning up to a client without being freshly showered, having my hair done, nails in great shape, makeup appropriate for the time of day/event, appropriate clothing for the venue/occasion, teeth brushed/flossed, fresh breath, waxed to perfection, and a light scent and a smile on my face. Why is is so hard for these guys to realize that we spend time getting ready for them and that costs money? I would like to have some feedback as to what anyone thinks is appropriate rates for what we do? I carry 1.5hr, 2hour, 3 hour, 6hour, twelve hour and overnight rates. There are not many of us in Fredericton, and I think that competition is a good thing, as not all SP's will provide the same experience as another SP. The clients I do have love the effort that I put into making myself look good for them, and it shows in what they give me in return, but how do I set rates properly?

being someone new on here,I really value the info on here. Some of this info is very intuitive and I never thought of, such as the bank account at another location, disposable cell phone, etc. all great ideas. I am going to continue to read these posts so that I can become better acquainted with the way of things, that way I don't have to worry about the SO, thanks everyone!
