Haggling over a providers rates is the epitome of low class. Now on the other hand, if a provider advertised a special rate and then tried to change it, that's my cue to add her to my DNS list. The same goes for uspelling. Charge what you want to charge and either your business will thrive or it won't. As many others have said here, it's actually a buyers market and you may have to reevaluate your business model.

I have gotten the same reaction on other sites my opinion on the BBBJ subject is just that "My Opinion" . I don't care about a PBL that has nothing to do with me , I can use this site exclusively if I want to I didn't know your word was law and you're the owner. Please have a seat sir !

Pick a rate you are happy with and if I feel comfortable at that rate I will come to see you, if I dont feel comfortable I will not come see you, it is that simple.

Trying to understand a mans mind is like trying to understand why women need 20 pairs of shoes when they only have 2 feet.

I am glad you understand the rate thing you would be surprised about the number of jerks asking for 40&50 dollar specials .

I for the most part agree with what most people have posted here. I do not haggle over price, well here anyway, on my yearly pilgrimage to Thailand well that's another story but they expect you to haggle.

I look at my time with a provider like a mini-vacation, there are certain things I look for in my vacation. So when I am looking at my vacation package I check the options, I compare to similar in the area for price. I look for reviews, I scrutinize the ads and websites of the provider. Now I will say most of the time with a limited options package the most I will gamble is $200 this is not to say I will partake in all the options. If you go to a resort do you have to go para sailing because it is an option supplied by the resort? Now this does not mean that I will call you up and haggle over $20, it just means I will choose a different package unless there is just really something that catches my eye. If I really enjoy my "vacation" then a lot of times I will like to return for a longer vacation. That being said when I took a look at your packages the one thing that stood out on your website that made me think WTH? Why do you penalize someone for wanting to spend a longer time than an hour but less than 6 hours? $220 for one hour: $350 for 1.5 hours; $450 for 2 hours? 1.5 hours at your 220 rate per hour would be $330; 2 hours would be $440; most providers but not all will offer a discount for longer periods of time. Never seen one that charged more for longer time periods, to me that says they would rather have volume over quality.

Anyway welcome to the community good luck, be safe out there!

I am new to this business so I have decided on those rates which are equal to change . Those are my rates every woman should charge what she wants . Volume? That doesn't apply to me I am new and very picky I have only had three clients so far that's why I don't have any reviews high volume is not an option for me.

I think Mr. Naughty has a point. Your current rate structure would make me think:

1. This girl can't add properly

2. This girl really doesn't want to see anyone for more than an hour, so she actually charges more per hour for longer dates

Hummmm, not sure those are good things. Just some brainstorming here. ;-)

I was just pointing out your math does not add up! A flag to me that you would rather spend just an hour with a client than an hour and a half or 2 hours based on your pricing structure. A more enticing structure of pricing at your $220 base hour rate might be $220 for one hour $320 for 90 minutes and $400 for 2 hours. The reason many providers offer the discounted time for longer periods is they do not have to go through the screening and other timely preparations to be ready for a second client to make just a few more $ per hour plus it gives them enough time to get to know their client better. I am sure the ladies around here can give you many more and better reasons. I am just pointing out that guys that prefer longer than an hour will not want to pay more per hour than what just an hour would be. I have one provider that I like her rate is $250 per hour, there is no discount for multiple hours, that is fine her choice and I don't really mind paying the $750 for a 3 hour vacation with her. However, if she decided it was $800 for 3 hours and still $250 for just an hour, I would have no hesitation in finding someone else.

Hope this helps and good luck to you keep safe!

We are on the same page here. I think I speak for both of us, when I say..."Kia, charge whatever you like, but this is probably how people will view it."

I never looked at it like that thanks for the breakdown on the rates it makes more sense when you put it that way

I value your input it has open my eyes I never really took the time to think about it that way .

Guest062114-5 · 12-13-2013, 10:59 AM

I absolutely love how you are truly open to learning more about the business...it will serve you well.

I think the way you conduct yourself here and your kind and gentle demeanor will probably attract more clients than any advertising will.

Miscommunication or misunderstanding or both...

My point was that guys on other sites might not be as adamant about the CBJ thing as they are here. I wasn't saying where you should or shouldn't advertise. I was just saying this site is not your only option.

If I were the owner of this site (or another), my wallet would not be empty.

Sorry for the miscommunication on my part, but I will remain standing, ma'am.

I am the first to admit I don't have all the answers and I need help. This business is very new to me I have a lot to learn that is the main reason I'm open to advice from anyone.

I was once told by a teacher of mines "You can learn something new from everyone you meet" I try to stick to this because it's very true.
