I like it when you call me "Daddy". Now come sit in my lap. Originally Posted by chicagoboyHEADING ON MY WAY DADDY
Second, I have also learned , as cheap as a client may be , most of the times it is better to satisfy them in hope of earning a regular, and get even in the long run or get good referrals from them rather than stick your chest out and say no and go home empty handed and put your pride on the table for dinner.All you're going to get is a cheapskate client that's going to try stay way past his time. If he does try to see the lady later, he'll try to get an even lower price. If he does give her a referral, it will be to his other cheapskate friends who also try to rock bottom prices. Soon, everyone will want the rock bottom prices. That is why most providers tell the cheapskate hagglers to fuck off.

(Just got back from the doctor who shot me full of penicillin with an injector that looked liked it should baste turkeys. OUCH.) I pre-screened him, made arrangements, no problem, no haggling, and he's been very understanding about my illness.
Sometimes there's miscommunication between 2 people and things just roll downhill from there like a snowball turning into an avalanche.
I'm going back to bed now and pulling up a blanket of chihuahuas. Who frickin' gets STREP in the #@&%* summer? I obviously need to up my daily quota of Jameson for medicinal purposes. Originally Posted by Fancyinheels

At times the cheap ones lie and don't reveal that they are cheap skates as others brag about it. It varies. The minute you start stereotyping and think you have it all figured out , is when you start losing sales. Further more when you don't have a good client base, you have to pay the bills with cheap skates. That was the whole point. Once you are doing better, then you can afford to be selective.
And if you think this post will have a meaningful impact on the OP's business, then you don't understand the nature of men and the power of pussy. Originally Posted by BFCjosh

"Don't stop now" would be the new provider mantra. Originally Posted by lostincypressfucking awesome sauce
