I know personally that I'm very appreciative when this is done and I am much more apt to see a provider again if she is going to grandfather me in @ the old rate.  I agree w/ Aliados that it would seem to make sense to keep a regular client and reward them for being such.  Of course, I understand that it's entirely their choice and preference. Just my $.02.

One of my 'regular' providers recently raised her outcall rates by $50.  I was a little surprised when I called to schedule an appointment and at the end of the call she says, "you know my outcall rates are now $350 - right"?  I was a little 'put off' by the increase, and have decide to search for a new 'regular'.  Am I the only hobbyist who thinks regular clients should be 'grandfathered' in at their original rates?

Gas prices have gone up, and I pay the new rate.  Food prices rise, and my regular haunt doesn't cut me any slack.  Still, being grandfathered in goes a long way towards me feeling that my business is appreciated.  I tend to go more to places that I feel special.  That certainly includes time spent with a pretty lady that's getting naked with me.

I can understand having to raise their rates at some point, but on this tough economic times sometimes they need to go gradually.....

I also went through something similar at he beginning of the year.  I scheduled an appointment and she was advertising @ $200.  because of conflicts by the time I finally got to see her the fee was $250.  six weeks later I schedule again and she had raised to $300.  I don't know about you but I have not been back again.  It just left me with a bad taste.

A provider is free to charge whatever she would like, but I would think that keeping a 'good' regular customer would be more important than making an extra $50 and having to find a 'new' client.  But then again, maybe I am the only one who thinks I am a 'good' client!  LOL

I've noticed the trend in a lot of ladies who we all know and adore.  IMHO, they've crossed the line at the rates they've now reached.  Those who neglect to account for their "regulars" haven't learned basic business concepts and they'll reap the results of that oversight.  But there are still many who don't come off as being so greedy.  Take this for example....  About six months ago I met a very delightful newcomber in an hour appt., much lower rate than what you see mentioned by our ladies of TER.  It was an incredible time with nearly everything you might want available.  But, the most interesting surprise was that she encouraged me to stay much longer than what was planned with no additional fees desired.  We've seen each other at least twice a week for six months, never once any disappointment, and in every case, we spend about three hours for the same low hourly rate.  In her words, I can depend on you and I enjoy your company.  In exchange, I'm more than willing to deliver the extra time.  It's a win/win....

they deserve it. Did I misunderstand the question?

.....to inflate on me, then I have no choice but to move on.

pussy.

It seems these girls want to achieve a customer base of who they are comfortable with.
One way to discourage newbies is to raise rates.  One way to get rid of long time
customers is to raise rates.  I think most girls do honor old rates with clients they like
but it looks like this is not the case.  Tell her arivaderchi and get ya some new.

Remember son, its only pussy.  lol

I bet you when you stop calling her she'll get the hint and she will miss your $$$.
It is simple economics she raised her price and you decided to look elsewhere.

I heard a girl say once that, "Regulars are a dime a dozen." That being said, I'd have to believe that they can replace any of us rather easily if we stop seeing them due to a rate hike.

that depends on the regular now yes if u call once a week or more or atleast 3 times a month yes i do granfather those clients but if u call twice a year u dont really have any vip status to ask for the hook up

IMHO if she is good enough to be called your regular then she is probably worth the increased rate....... Alot of good providers have raised rates lately...... and I think due to the cost of everything going up....Question is does she give you what you are looking for? You just have to decide if she is worth the extra$$$$$  if not move on no discussion necessary!

UMMM YES!There are rewards for treating a lady ,like a lady.
I'm just stating a fact and before I get pm's from mods or grandad's, this is in no way meant to be a braggart.But I have been blessed to have met many such women and I have always paid same as first visit!They give of their time and I give of mine.Because they are friends and I find them to be exceptional individuals I go out of my way to help them and one way I do so is to share with the collective .If I came right out and stated they will be this way, then it no longer would exist, pwilley would not give up the fine lady's name, it would not be his right..it's by her choice only.

I raised my rates a few months ago, however, I didn't inform any of my regular clients of my rate increase.  There have been a few who have mentioned it, and I made them aware that I didn't tell them because of your whole point... "grandfathered in".  Some have included the increase in my donation when they leave it without mentioning it, and some stay at the old rate.  I cannot speak for other providers, but if I have a gentleman who is a great regular and always treats me respectfully with no issues, I feel that his little bit of loyalty deserves some reciprocal appreciation.

A lady can raise her rates anytime she wants, she does not have to grandfather you in.  However, the special few ladies that understand loyalty is sometimes better than seeing a complete stranger and therefore implement grandfathering systems, are well appreciated.

in short, it is absolutely her right to raise her rates and it is absolutely your right to seek elsewhere if you feel she isn't worth the bump.  only you can make that decision and as I've always said, there are plenty of fish in the sea!

LOl DL ...I'm finding quite a few sea NYMPH"S also!

I have been in the business for 10 years.. when i first started playin my rate was 100/hour 2 hour minimum I never believed in rapin someone for money when im getting mine to .. when i decided to move to Atlanta and set up shop so to speak there were a few providers that had told me I would never make it in this town and they would see to it if I didnt up my rates to 200-250 per hour..
I did this to make the water smoother but everyone that i already knew still got their good ole alabama girl rate and when i got the wolves off my back about my rates i took them back down to something reasonable and now that im comfy in just seein the people that I know well and the people that have perfect provider references.. I have a great rate for my regulars.. I have a ( i have to check you out ) rate for people I have to look into but once that process is over then i view you as a regular and you get that good ole alabama gal that loves her job not tryin to rape ya rate.. I know you have to work hard for your money .. dont want to get it all at one time lol
just my .02.. the ladies that are not giving you a regular rate.. well they might be special to you but the feeling may not be mutual for some reason..
good luch much love .. and yall be safe for real

While i raised my rates once, about a year and half ago, everyone that i see that was paying the previous rate of course gets grandfathered in....i rely on a small reoccurring clientele and it's not only fair but good business sense to do this.  Would I think most would still see me if i raised rates across the board?  Yes....and not a lot of them belong to TER where this be noted and where with various pro/con's opinion's.. My friends, from when I first started will always get their rate as they have been loyal to me....and still guess I am considered middle of the road rates, but with another income, may be able to be more lenient........

This is busines. I don't thing your provider is very smart to lose a reg. for $50! Countless businesspeople shoot themselves in the foot. I hope to think that when I'm a regular we have become at least "business friends." I have been proved wrong more times than I can count. Move on. For the money you're spending you can find a GREAT provider who will apreciate you more. Whatever, don't take it to personally. her loss!

I had seen a provider twice and when scheduling a third session, I noticed that her rate was now higher on her website.  She didn't mention about the rate increase, but I didn't think twice about paying the new rate.  I don't know if I'm a "regular" now or not (nor do I really care), but I do think that as a client, it's my responsibility keep up to date so that there are no misunderstandings:  I always check out the website of whomever I will be seeing prior to contacting.  If I didn't want to pay the increase, I wouldn't have seen her, but I definitely wouldn't have wanted to insult her by insisting on an old rate.

I don't mean for this to sound insensitive, but with gasoline, food, utilities and other items going up in price, why wouldn't I expect other services to also go up in price?

Aliados, I think that your provider should have informed you of the increase not at the end of the call.  That way you would be informed prior to actually confirming a date and time.  Does your regular know why you are now looking for someone else?  While I believe that it is entirely her choice in what the rate is, if you are a regular, then I think that you should be honest and let her know why you aren't seeing her anymore.
