Lovely but Domain is a no go for me. South Austin, baby!

oh you're too drunk to drive... NO don't take a cab. I will drive 20min back and forth.... not problem. Why? Cuz you got it like that!!
Aaaah purpletree,
I still need to come down south for you. You are a kind man and I would do that for you.
I get it though. When I lived down south for year, none of my clients had three hours to come all the way across town to see me for an hour. Austin traffic is a motherfucker but, in my opinion, I think the North side is the most lucrative and convenient location.
Well, for me.....there are providers just as beautiful that I can spend 90 to 120 minutes for three Benjamin's. Not to say she should lower her rates, that is her right to set her rates as she sees fit. Just saying she is out of my value range and possibly others as well. Just a thought.

I understand that Risen, but why would guys book then cancel? It's not a problem though. The people I did meet were nice and I actually enjoyed my trip

Instead he looks like a whiney kiss ass/wannabe pimp while she just gets the biz and exposure.
You go girl. Unlike the last complainer thread about cancels at least you are fine looking.
The last provider adjusted her rates to a competitive level to fix the problem but then again you aren't fat and pushing 50 either.

He did that without my knowledge. And that's the truth. Anyone who knows me knows that I never complain, just happy that I'm safe and able to see another day Word.

Are we talking NSNC's or Cancels? I believe both are most often because a customer found a better price for a comparable provider. Then he probably didn't really want to see her then. There's something to say about clients who actually want to see you for you. It makes you want to give your all in the session.
You aren't priced competitively so when another option comes up mongers will jump on it in a heartbeat. Their loss.
No different than many providers who reschedule appts. last minute because a higher paying multi hour monger calls for the already booked time slot. TRUUUUE! So true.
At $300 you may get more money per session but you also get more cancels as a result.
When the smoke clears who walks away with more money the market priced $250 provider or the high priced $300 provider? ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!!! Just the other day I turned down a guy for a $20 dollar discount out of pride and feeling my time was more valuable at the moment and rightfully so, I'm not hurting and it's rent time so I'm sure some other girl could use that money more than I...... i digress.... but I when I think back I could have been a tad bit better off taking that offer... considering the earning potential fluctuation from month to month in this market... behaviors to reconsider for sure.

Other times as soon as you leave your phone really starts ringing!!!! Sometimes you have to give it a few tries and give a chance to the guys that missed you the last time; in order for them to reconsider seeing you on your next visit. I mean shit does happen and honestly guys want what they want when they want it, and life gets in the way of engagements lower on the totem pole i.e entertainment & leisure.
That's fine they can have it. But I've had to many say that they wished they spent the extra 50, because I put my all into making the gentleman who see me happy

Steak is steak, true. But I'd rather eat at Ruths Chris than applebees. But to each is own

I have seen her post in other threads and she knows how to have fun without getting super emotional about people on an internet board. I often times find myself laughing at what you post Kelly. Your Gif game is on point and you are a hottie. More power to you girl. Now I hope you proved me right. I am going to read the rest of this thread and see how much you can hang.
Again I don't believe for one second you put a client up to this.
I truly believe you might have mentioned it to the OP and he is just here telling the truth about you.
#testimony
I think you should keep doing what she's doing and see a snowball of the benefits you will reap. You go girl!
