Maybe I'm lucky and/or with the way I conduct myself, but I honestly can't remember the last time I rendered up front. (With Nova, Selena, Serenity(KourtneyK), Jamie Marie, Sarahlyn, MsKitty, or Veronica Sun). I saw Ginger many moons ago and was the one to lay an envelope voluntarily on a table, but that still was unrequested.
When I correspond, I prefer to keep it casual and simple like "Hi. Would like to meet you etc". Rate and anything else is never mentioned. Actually, there will be a "won't be able to see you this time" when any mention of rate either via text or conversation is brought up. And these ladies have been very professional as it has never been brought up with my encounters.
