1): Yes it is another one of those threads
2): Like teachers say, if you can get through to just one....
3): Sorry Samantha, but your case is the perfect example. I'm not picking on you, just trying to get providers to break a failed mindset
4): To offset the inevitable claims of looking for cheap rates, I hereby ask all providers who read this to institute a special C44 price adder of +100 on whatever your rate is.
5): Yes, insomnia sucks
TLDR: Get creative and don't feel like you are locked into a rate.
Ok, so a review of Samantha Pearl was posted yesterday and some things stick out
http://m.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=1512517
Now Samantha normally operates under Paradigm Companions where they all charge 300/hr. So lets look at her info:
P411: Link down but I seem to recall same as Eccie
Eccie: rates are 300/350, nothing about 30 minute appointments, requires references. Only two reviews this year
But if we look in the review we find this.
BP: rates 200/220 with 30 minutes at 100, and what ever BP ladies require for screening if at all.
Why is she on BP? Plain and simple, she's not making enough money. Who cares if you can claim to be a 500/hr provider if you only get one client a week. Waitress make more.
Break out of a failed mindset where you price with the herd and never adjust rates or appointment times. Do other providers want you to do this? No, it's in their best interest if you charge as high an hourly rate as possible, and preferably higher than them. Do other providers want you to offer 30 minute appointments? No. Do all providers have to do this? No. If you are Ariel More with a two week waiting list, you get to charge what ever you want. This post is not for providers with that FOTM popularity.
So what would I advise for Samantha?
1). Stay off BP for your own safety.
2). Drop your p411/Eccie rates to 250/300 (you can always raise them again).
3). Offer some 200 review specials one weekend a month to generate some buzz and get some reviews.
4). Offer some 30 minute appointments at 150 for either the lunch crowd or at times of the day when you're normally extremely slow.
5). Offer longer appointments that look like great hourly discounted bargains but which add 25-100% more income per visit. For most guys, variety is key. If you tell us the second hour is at the same rate as the first, our need for variety instantly leans us toward giving our money to a different provider instead of booking the second hour with you.
6). If you are ok with anal, restrict access and use it as a free add-on instead of offering discounts during slow times or offer it as all inclusive as part of a higher rate. "Free" anal sounds like free Coke. a cola to guys and is a powerful advertising pitch
Am I suggesting you turn yourself into a 50/hr human Fleshlite? No, you have the limiting conditions of taking care of your body and everyone try's to optimize effort for gain. What I am suggesting is that rather than take more risk with something like BP, get creative with your rates and advertising specials.
Remember, it's about income per visit, not income per hour.
Also, don't forget that you need to charge me more than any other hobbiest
