So what if you always saw the lady for her hourly rate and now she's trying to have a minmum time (90min or 2hrs) for a session for double the price? Should she grandfather me in at old rate/time? I do understand her reasoning for raising her rates so she can see less people and make the same amount of money. It lets her cater to the more HDH guys that thinks by paying more, she doesn't work as much. Originally Posted by shortyIf she's telling you her new rate, it's likely no sense asking to be grandfathered. If she likes you as a regular, she will likely make the grandfathering offer without being asked. If she only mentions the new rate, I think you have your answer.

I was only asking the question because the provider was asking my opinion on her idea of raising her rates and minmum time. Granted she's already at 300/hr. I see her point but I'm here thinking about all the other guys she see's at her original rate, that she's going to exclude by going to a higher rate. So what does she do about her existing clientale? Would she be better off to offer multihr or dinner date's at the existing rate for her regular's. Can't really see her offerring hr dates to her regular's if she's wanting to make more money.
