I know discussing rates can be a little touchy. I know it's a business decision on the type of clientele and the frequency of sessions a lady desires. I also know that the ladies' rates usually settle in to where they probably should be.
It is my personal feeling that newbie providers should consider some options on their inital rates. I think it would be wise to start out at a rate slightly below where they think they will eventually be, develop a clientel, and earn a good reputation to justify their rates.
Example...
If you are a brand new provider and think you are hot enough to deserve $300 per hour, you should start out at $250. This will attract more initial business, gain some positive reviews, and let the customer know she is a good investment. Why should a client pay $300 for a newbie provider with no proven track record?
A lot of providers here have worked hard to earn a fair rate for their services. Although guys like "new meat", there is also an element of risk in visiting unknown ladies. New providers should make them an offer they can't refuse. It will make getting started easier and work out better in the long run.
