My point exactly! Guys that don't frequent SC will have to make that investment if they want to play in your space. Originally Posted by austinkboyNot really.... They can read reviews, Locker Room information, come to luncheons etc and meet the girls.
come On KBoy..... When you PMd me about a certain dancer you had lost contact with a while ago did you have to go mine the club for the information yourself were you sitting in VIP for lunch with a waitress ringing her up on a phone within a day or two....Who me??? That was my "friend". Us Asians all look alike to you white guys!
How much time and money did you spend meeting K*** the other day? You could have left the club with her for the next 3-4 hours for less that $$$ or any of the girls you've met at any of the luncheons.... Originally Posted by Whispers

My point is, that just because it's business, it doesn't mean that tips shouldn't be factored into the business model. It just depends. An indie provider that averages $200/hour, and books 4 appointments in a day is $800 per day. So on an hourly basis, over an 8-hour day she is "on-call", working, posting on Eccie, writing ads, in beauty maintenance procedures, at the gym staying slim, that is $100/hour. She is out of commission for some portion of the month due to Aunt Flo, say 15% of the time, so we are down to $85 per hour. If economy is bad, and she only gets 2 bookings per day, that is now $42.50 per hour. She is self employed so deduct all of the expenses now.
Now take a higher priced provider that charges $400 per hour list, and books 1 or 2 appointments a day. That still then works out to $42.50 to $85.00 an hour, except that her expenses are probably a little higher. Also, since she deals mostly with regulars, her recent price increase is all on paper. Her clients are all grandfathered in at $300 or $350. So the client feels special because he knows that she has made a special concession for him. Originally Posted by austinkboy

And, before you all jump on me, I'm sure there are a few financially savvy ladies that do as exhibited by their posts to that effect. But for the most part, it seems as many are just relying on the continued market for a source of income....
