West texas thoughts - provider specials

[busternutzs]

Reverting back to another COED Discussion on specials. A Blow and GO BBBJCIM is still on the top of my list.

We understand some ladies prefer not to do the CIM.

Lana St. Martin joined in on the discussion and decided to offer a Blow and Go special. She has had a spike in business and gotten 3 or 4 new reviews. I think some us overlooked her but discovered she is good local provider. I sent another popular local VP a thread on the Blow and Go discussion in hopes she would join in or offer the same type of special but she said she at the time she wasn`t up to posting anything on the subject.

That is a perfect example of how specials work...men love "sales" as much as women....it's easier to justify the indulgence when you can say....but I got such a good deal....lol

hence the difficulty in offering specific specials. waldt.

personally, a girl who advertises b-n-g at all is way down on my list to call.

call me old fashioned.

Different strokes for different folks.......that's why this works.....Baskin Robbins 31 flavors has nothing on eccie.

I understand different tastes and try to cater to most...there are a few I don't offer because of my preferences but I can respect different turn on's and don't judge at all.

[john_deere]

how about a pizza and beer special? i'd be all in.

HEH.

It's a good thing I don't live in Oklahoma anymore I would definitely be broke, or more likely Kami would ban me.

I can't think of a special that would make me want to return to a provider if I didn't already want to return. A frequent user discount is nice but would not really influence my decision to return or not.

I have mixed feelings about review specials. Because the provider knows you are going to write the review, she will do whatever it takes (within reason) to get a good write up. The next time may not be as wonderful for me since she has already had the review. It may not be as nice for a later guy, who will then call the review into question.

I have had a few specials, one that got extra time for pre-booking, one that got me a steep discount on a double. The extra time one didn't influence my decision to book at all, but was a nice treat. The discounted double did influence me. I am old and well old and would not book a double since I fear death. However I had seen one of the providers before and she was good for my ego and the other provider was more mature and I thought would be tamer. That wasn't the case but I survived and they will probably at a future time get a full priced double.

I am in the same boat as Busternutz, I am on-call with 75 companies, doing break/fix, installs, and upgrades of IT equipment. 70 % of the time service requests take longer to complete.

BPers seem to be more willing and available on short notice.

The best special I`ve seen was offered by Jezzabel. With two visits the third visit was on the house. She also offered me the same special when I sent two clients to her. She was nice enough to give me the 3rd visit on the house.

How many guys can actually see a traveling VP enough times to take advantage of such a special like you mentioned. It might be fine for local guys in OKC but I'm not sure it would work for you in WT.

I'm new to this but the special lana st Martin is offering for 60 blow and go looks pretty good! Greek specials are great but I'm all in for a great BNG
For a great special maybe BNGCIM 60 would be more to the liking?
Repeat business for sure!

I have regulars I see in Dallas and Austin. I had one here in Lubbock but became friends so really don't see her even though we talk weekly. Not a fan of those just passing through town unless they are regularly in the area....midland, Amarillo, and El Paso seem to have those regulars more than Lubbock.

[kami405]

so..what is considered a regular visiting provider....
I have been to Amarillo twice....Lubbock twice and Midland 3 Times.

just curious as to what the definition of a regular visiting provider is...I've never thought about it before.

[Phrasing]

Once a month or more...every 2-3 weeks

[kami405]

Ah...gotcha.....I don't think I can do that due to the other cities I visit....I try to hit my favorites as much as possible.
