Can a single bad review put a provider out of business?

Anyway, I've been reading this new blog by an escort, and she makes a comment about reviews:

http://beinganescort.blogspot.com/2009/10/reviews.html

Still teetering on the fact that I might have to return to escorting, I came back to "reviews"

Anyone not familiar with this should know, this is where hobbyists "aka- clients" go onto major boards where they cluster like testosterone crazed boys and pat each other on the back for the newest story they posted.

Basically they "review" their time with you and you get scores based upon your performance. Pretty romantic huh? Not only do they include all the details of your time together, but they tend to do as most men in groups do- and try to one up each other by making their details better than the others.

And god forbid if you dont have a good meeting, you are doomed with a "bad review" - which can put a girl out of business in certain areas.

Not only do I think time spent together should be personal- and not posted for the world to read- excuse me, I mean the VIP's that these boards get paying members to pay to be- but the review system is ugly. Lets say you are attractive, have a nice meeting, and all goes well. Well unless you agree to a choice of one of 3 pretty gross things as a minimum- you cant score over a 7 on these rating boards. So no matter how pretty or "good" you are- if you value safety you wont score well.

And the guys who know this that try to help you get a better score are really not doing you any favors, because to do so they must state that you do in fact offer one of these servies- thus making the rest of the men believe when they see you thats what they will get.

Pretty fun stuff.

I was thinking about this because nowadays without reviews it is very hard to get work- guys dont want to take the chance, and so I considered linking back to my working day reviews, but it made me sick to read through them, and i dont want to be tied to the past. So i say no reviews.

Another review downfall is that the boards try to protect themselves by calling the reviews fiction, and agreeing they are made up stories- thus not illegal. Well try telling that to a judge who is holding printouts of your reviews, which happened to a good friend of mine. They arent fiction at that point.

Another fun job perk to consider
Can a single bad review really put a provider out of business? Is it that serious?

No it can't but it doesn't help a lady just starting out or getting back into the hobby. Now several continous bad reviews can really damage a lady.

She was right about one thing... I won't take the chance on a provider without at least one review.

To bad I don't do reviews anymore because she could've been a busy lady. Oh Well, she didn't last long in the business.

it depends on the context of the review.
sometimes men can say unnecessary things during a review which can result in slow or hampered business.
The one bad review doesn't make or break someone. Actually if you start seeing some good honest reviews after. It goes to show that they are willing to improve. After all we are all human and for someone to be 100% all positive review is almost in-human, we all have bad days.
london rayne is 100% positive isn't she?
No one bad review doesn't hurt you if you are willing to improve (if it was the providers fault.)

I am not a reader of the escortgirl blog but it seems that she looks upon her life as an escort and the specified field with disdain. I don't how a girl with this mindset can be successful at her job, especially when she is in a position where her business relies on reviews. But hey, it's her blog.

Oh, but about the blog.. very interesting read.. She has definitely shed some light on a mostly hidden industry.
