Why do
clients feel it is ok to haggle?
Yesterday I had a chap text me and ask if I would reduce my rate to 80e
for 30 minutes. I said no. I couldn’t see the point in being less
direct, as he might think it was ok. He
then said ok, 100e and I said, yes that is fine. However for this he now wanted 45 minutes,
but he would bring coffee and pastries (it was morning). Again I said no. A little later he said ok to 100e, but if he
had not cum at the 30 minutes stage, would I let him continue?
At this
point I told him that his custom was not welcome and that I did not appreciate
the implication behind the question. I told
him that he should have checked my reviews and trusted me to provide a good
service for the money I am asking for.
In reply he said that many women had let him down, that he had left
feeling unfulfilled and he couldn’t afford to spend money on a bad experience. This is fair enough, but we also get plenty
of time wasters and men that stop us from working, just because they wanted a
bit of titillation on the phone. We both
have to trust each other for this to work.
He
apologised and asked if he could come to see me at the rate I had agreed to, 100e
for 30 minutes and as it was quiet I said yes and gave him the benefit of the
doubt. 20 minutes later he was with me
and a further 25 minutes later he was lay on my bed flushed and spent. We had a
cuddle and he left just short of his 30 minutes asking me if he could see me
again before I left Galway.
Isn’t it a
shame that he nearly didn’t get to see me, because of all the haggling? Isn’t it a shame that he made me feel like I
was going to try and mug him of his money and didn’t care if he enjoyed himself
or not, when he had never even met me before?
Isn’t it a shame that he didn’t have faith in the reviews, even though I
have 50+ from all different sources that all show my worth and care for what I
do?
I had a look
around the adverts this morning, to see who else is working in the area and was
quite surprised at just how many Escorts were working at 80e for 30
minutes. There are 42 ladies touring
here at the moment and less than a handful are charging 100e, in comparison to
the majority being 80e or even less. I
can understand why someone might look at my profile and think it is too much to
spend when they can see someone else for less, but if this man is typical and
now holds a fear of not getting what he wants to the point of almost insulting
someone he has never met, well… maybe that is your answer? He has met the ladies offering the lower
rates and not been satisfied.
What am I trying
to say? Yes you do have to live within
your means, but for the sake of 20e, is it worth not seeing the lady you want
to see? Is it not better to read her
profile, look at her reviews and talk to her on the phone and if she sounds and
seems to be what you are looking for then invest that little extra?
I can’t help
but wonder in this case, with a man who originally wanted to pay me 80e, how
all of a sudden he has enough money to see me twice in one week? Is it really a matter of can’t afford, or
just doesn’t want to pay more than he would for one of the girls that didn’t do
it for him?
So… this
morning after a fairly quiet day yesterday I am wondering should I be reducing
my rates in line with the 80e girls or stand my ground, because I know that the
service I provide is excellent? I won’t
see more than 4 or 5 clients in a day, because I do find orgasms and gushing
physically draining and I just couldn’t do it and that is what happens, because
I completely release myself to the moment.
So the answer is no, because for me to do that I would have to give up
Escorting, because I would not earn enough to do it. I would just stop coming to Ireland if that
was the case.
You Irish seem to love your Irish and English
girls. Just think about the consequences
of what you are asking when you haggle.
We don’t come from a 3rd world Country. Things are expensive back in England and we
have bills to pay and lots of costs in touring, so please, please don’t
haggle. Choose wisely, do your research
and get the experience you want with the lady that you can trust not to let you
down. Show a little respect and you will
get it back two fold and all for just 20e extra!
hi kate i think that you should stick to your original prices. to me thats just typical ireland i live here butnot from here there's a lot of chancers out their if they do not reconise what good value is they never will
ReplyDeletetake care peter
Thank you Peter I intend to x
ReplyDeleteAnother excellent piece Kate. Paddy was born to haggle and thats just his way. You'll just have to learn to live with it over here. Dont be tempted to lower your rates as you do seem to offer a level of experience far in excess of others in the business. Competition seems to be pretty fierce in Galway and maybe you could get advice from some other Escorts as to where the best locations are. Kildare {sallins}, Laois (portlaoise). and Athlone seem to be popular as they are close to motorways and get lots of passing traffic from all over. Btw you should change your name to Courageous Kate in light of your efforts to reform them lunatics at IIE.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anon I appeciate the sentiments, although I should point out that I am talking broadly of my experiences both in Ireland and the UK. I feel all could do with a little reminder in some quarters.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a shame as it spoils it for the ones that do know how to behave and show respect and there are a great many of those too.
I suppose sometimes we just have to learn to grit our teeth, stick to our guns and look straight on.
With regards to Galway, for me it is the best place to work. I've been there 3 times now and have had the least problems and the most work, which is probably why this particular chap stood out so much, although there were a fair few texts asking if they could see me for 50e, which got a straight no and left at that. It's not so bad when they accept your first response and move on.
You should read Superfreakonomics - there's a chapter on the economics of prostitution and the advice there is (sorry guys) put your prices up first and see if demand falls, if it doesn't' fall put your prices up again. If demand does fall put your prices back down.
ReplyDeleteBtw ever thought of a tour to Glasgow - love to give you a tour.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI actually have toured Glasgow twice and Edinburgh once. I have a long standing friend/client who I met on my first booking in Glasgow who I keep in touch with still, but alas it is not the easiest place to work from. The apartment I used the first time was like Fort Knox lol.
Maybe I will return one day and thank you for asking. xx
ps. Thank you for the tip too x
