Hi all, Wondering everyone's opinion on grandfathering clients.
Providers do you grandfather clients you have seen when you raise your rates?
If you could elaborate on reasons if you do or don't grandfather.
Guys has a provider raised her rates and not grandfathered or has grandfathered?
Also if you could elaborate on this. If she has raised rates and will not grandfather do you see her?
In case you are wondering this has happened to me and was curious about it.
Thanks everyone
Although appreciated that she has offered to "grandfather" her rate :
I pay whatever her current rate is.
If it is outside my "Hobby Budget" I move on to others that are within that budget.
Bottom Line is she deserves what she is asking if you are willing to pay that amount
So let me get this straight... she offers to grandfather you in... and you take your business else where?
I get that it is nice if I grandfather a guy in and he decides to pay my new rate... but I would think it is a slap in the face if she offers the old rate and you go else where, for no reason because she is telling you to pay less (that obviously was in your hobby budget)
Why would you even do that? She tells you to pay the old rate out of respect for your business. Just wondering what the logic is in what you said.
Seems he would consider skipping a booked appointment if another provider shows up in Andover/Tewksbury the same day.
See thread on GD about this.
Really DT ? Its a discussion and you and I know it happens.
I saw my regular just so you know. Never considered cancelling once I committed.
Does it happen in the industry sir? Should people hear the proper behavior in a discussion forum?
Geeezze

I do not care for the "money" talk at all. It is made crystal clear what the rate
is at some point and should never be discussed. Me having to bring that question up every time I wish to see her is basically bartering. IMHO. Just not my thing.
You don't HAVE to bring the issue up at all. Once a gal becomes a regular of mine I simply email and book with her when I want to see her. If what she needs to charge me has changed it's simply on her to let me know what the new rate is and I will either pay it or move on. I have two girls that I have been seeing long-term, one for four years and one for seven. I honestly don't know what either one of them charges other guys but my rate hasn't changed with either of them since I started seeing them. I never ask and I never will ask.
FWIW, in both cases I would keep seeing them if they raised there rates. There are many other gals however who have gone up in their rate after some sort of "introductory" discounted rate and I chose not to continue seeing them.
It isn't hard. She will tell you it is different or not. There isn't "money talk everytime". In fact, there is NO talk of that unless she says.
YOU said grandfathered in. Means your rate stays the same. Not difficult. She is being nice to you. You are pissy she gives you the discount but raised rates to others? You are not as appreciative as she is to you. Like I said, slap in the face. Counter productive.
We don't give it to everyone. So if you get it, be nice that she appreciated you. You paid that to begin with, so who cares what she charges others?
Sorry but the great gals keep the good ones as regulars and appreciate them.
A provider I have seen in the past has raised her rates and is NOT grandfathering prior clients..
Just trying to see what goes on in general. that's all
Some providers grandfather and some don't. Ultimately you have to move past the grandfathering issue and decide if you want to keep seeing her at her new rate. Some guys get all butt-hurt when a girl raises her rates and doesn't grandfather them but business is business She gets to set her rate and you get to decide if you want to buy what she is selling. I work on a day-rate myself and when I decide it's time to raise my rates there is no grandfathering involved for existing clients. I don't know of any occupation where there is.

It's her prerogative to charge what she feels she's worth. Gas is up as well as the cost of hotels and traveling by plane or train so they probably need the extra dough just to maintain what they were making, hence the rate increase. Eros ads probably are more as well as every other supply or necessity the providers use to be good at making us feel comfortable. If you are a frequent regular then mention the increase if its gonna harm your arrangement. I'm sure a provider that sees a regular often would want an explanation if it stopped suddenly, but if you see her only on occasion it would be in poor taste to ask for the previous rate .
I believe in grandfathering in clients. In the old days everyone grandfathered in old clients as it was the right thing to do. Nowadays, I can see with the cost of hotels, especially in Boston proper why people would have to raise their rates. In the same token, if they dont raise their rates and keep their regular clients then they do not have to pay to advertise.
Personally, I mostly do outcall so there is not alot of expenses that goes with an outcall. I work a real job as well and know exactly how many hours I have to work to equal what I make one hour of hobbying. Every provider is different, for alot this is their livelyhood. For others, it is a hobby.
It really doesnt matter what each provider does, what matters for you as the client is to decide if the girl is worth the amount she is charging. If yes, than go see her again, if not then find someone else.
With a name like bobby orr I would think you would be more concerned with shots on goal then grandfathering. 
Of course, they are also getting the same service I provided for that rate which is no GFE and no MSOG. I never go up on anyone who has seen me...even if they only saw me once. The rate you pay is the rate you will always pay until I retire. That's just me though.
An ATF of mine offered me a very attractive rate for extended dates (24hr+), roughly 40% less than her published rate for that duration. I saw her several times at that rate.
Then some time goes by and while we had kept in contact I hadn't seen her for a date in 6 months. I contacted her to book an extended date and I asked if my previous rate was still good. She replied, "no, that rate was for regulars and clearly you aren't one any longer." So I opted to find another provider.
I ended up informing her of my decision after the fact and she was furious.
It's a complicated situation..
I have had a couple of different experiences on this. One of my regulars and I never even discuss the donation. I schedule come see her and we spend our time together. I leave the donation in her bedroom then I usually go use the bathroom. I know for a fact she charges a higher rate now than what I started paying her. One of my other regulars sets her rate depending on the incall overhead. case in point if she is at a back bay hotel Im paying more than if she is staying at a res inn off a highway. I think its a tough subject to discuss. I think either party can get irritated if the topic isn't brought up the right way.
