Clients frequently offer the ladies here unsolicited advice about finances or rates.
The clients probably sincerely believe that they understand the business aspects of P4P better than the ladies and can offer valuable advice.
But they may not. And certainly in most cases they've provided little or no basis for the ladies to conclude that said clients have valuable advice to offer.- Frequently they don't express themselves clearly or in a professional manner that would inspire confidence. (Strike one.)
- They often make broad and incorrect generalizations based on inadequate information or extrapolation from a small (or otherwise not representative) sample to the entire escort population, demonstrating that they don't understand the business environment as well as the ladies do. (Strike two.)
- They believe that their business success -- which sometimes may be as an employee rather than actually running a business -- can be translated from their business to the P4P business with minimal or no adjustments, despite the fact that the businesses may be very dissimilar. (Strike three.)
- They "educate" the ladies about aspects of the business environment -- more competition, fewer clients' disposable dollars -- as though the ladies are too ignorant to realize that. The odds are exceptionally high that the ladies are already aware of all of that. It doesn't take a rocket scientist, and many of the ladies are pretty smart. (Strike four.)
- They assume that very obvious business strategies, like running a sale when business is slow, would not occur to the ladies -- call that patronizing or condescending, but in either case it insults the ladies' intelligence. (Strike five.)
- Their advice often is obviously beneficial to the clients, perhaps more than the ladies, which calls into question their objectivity and motive. (Strike six.)
Well, there are some other problems with offering unsolicited advice of a financial/rate nature, but six strikes should be more than enough. Not saying that every guy who posts this sort of thread would be guilty of all six, but . . . .
(Ladies, the next time I do something like this, just send me a link to this post and kick my ass. )

Everyone has the idea what sale is if they been to most any store. Just saying few stores don't have some sort a sale be it yearly or whatever.
I don't see were most of them lowering prices is of benefit to them. Maybe they will get those few extra clients but it probably isn't worth it.
Just think of the number of hours anyone puts in a business a day. If we were just to go by a regular business not even an escort it is quite a load.
I would imagine the providers would like added in come and if a provider had to work 3 days to make the same money she does now 5 I would be most client experiences would be better. Meaning a client more likely to return and willing to pay the difference.
You learn more from failures in life than you learn from success. Thomas Edison was quoted as he didn't fail more he found 10,000 ways not to make a light bulb. That said he only learned the one how to make it. the technology has been improved many times since then.
So instead of trying to impose something I actually know works on to you I have decide your right let providers teach providers. I'll keep what I know that works between me friends and family. think that solves all the issues. Well except if someone on here might could have used that advice O well.
