Can someone explain it to me???

Most of the Wall Street crowd goes on vacation in the summer. Many have tuition payments due in August.  

Interesting, but good info! Thank you

That made me laugh! Thank you
 

According to a Siena College Research Institute poll, 56% of New Yorkers planned a vacation of a week or longer for this summer. The adult population of the New York Designated Market Area (DMA) is about 15.6 million, so that’s 8.7 million people taking vacations over a span of just 13 weeks. The numbers may even be higher with respect to our business since the SRI poll reported that those least likely to take vacations were single women, persons over 65 and those earning less than $50,000.

First of all, he's not from NY.  Second of all, even if he was, he'd still be wrong.  Wall Street works all summer, or haven't you noticed how trading continues all summer on the exchanges?  Sure, the big money goes to the Hamptons on the weekend and especially the last few weeks of August.  But it's silly to say everyone leaves. Once again, Chicken Little strikes out.

The only time a provider should discount their time is during holidays.It's not the provider's problem that the hobbyist/client is having problems financially.Any financial hardship that the hobbyist/client is having is strictly his/her problem & the hobbyist needs to figure out how to jungle all of his/her expenses. And if the hobby life  style is not in his/her budget then leave the hobby lifestyle. And be thankful that the Provider is not asking for a percentage for a tip as the eco rt agencies do.

Summertime is generally busy... with the exception of the last week of August, and maybe the first week/week and a half of September. And, of course, Labor Day weekend.  

In the hinterlands, you have dirt, grass, corn, wheat ... trees ... a lot of empty space and a relatively small amount of mass. Manhattan is built on solid bedrock, is covered with huge amounts of concrete and steel which is a HUGE amount of mass compared to a corn field.  

I went from 2 clients a day to one client every couple of weeks now. Business is very slow.If this is your only source of income, it will be a problem for you.If you can,find a job and only do this on the side.Goodluck

I went from 2-3 appointments a week to 1-2 a month. I was able to find work, but even that job is only p/t.  
When a client cancels or our schedules don't match up, it definitely leaves a hole in the wallet. It's been a toughie, but somehow it always works out

Shhhhh...don't tell Jake.

Don't want to burst his bubble

Don't worry about it being slow.  
I live in southern CA beach town and it was more of a ghost town last week.
Flew to Detroit on Wed and the airport was empty, rental car bus had two guys and me.  

The major players of wall street take the summer off. You know as well I as know that after labor day the volume in the markets pick back up. BTW I am from NY.

That in each market there is a limit on the number of hobbyists who spend $700 or more per month.  The average metropolitan area has 700 to 1400 guys who spend that much a month. They range from guys who split it up $100 a appointment to guys who see one provider at $500 to $700 an appointment.  

used to sweating all year round like we are in California, so they move a lot slower.

Is it because the health insurance companies have lots of processing work to do with new enrollments ?

s it seeing 10 -15 Clients a week down to 5 - 8 a week

if NYC itself only had 700-1400 guys who spend $700/month on this hobby.  

are always strapped for time.  Summer for them is the busiest months.

Mr. Penny Stock Expert now thinks he knows about "major players of wall street."  What a joke.  And for someone who claims he's from NY you sure run your mouth a lot on the DC Board.  You really need to STFU.

Generally speaking for the reasons mentioned above in many businesses in Manhattan,  August is a slow month. But like other businesses you are in a VERY competitive industry. New competition  from all over the world  coming to NYC every day. So what  separates your services from other girls at your price point? Possibly a declining number of middle aged/older hobbyists that can afford the higher price points and more girls at the higher price points to choose from.

You are coming at this from a different angle than most ladies here.  Looking at your reviews your normal rates are really low.  About half of the low side of the average for this site.  You can't discount your rates anymore.

Thank you Elise!

I am very slow too! I am in Brooklyn and my rates aren't really that high and still not too many clients calling me right now.  
When the phone rings it's mostly waste timers who just want to play around on the phone . So aggravating .  
Hopefully it picks up by the end of September before the holidays,, I know around Christmas it slow again too because men spend time with their families.

Sage business advice. Personally I would be delighted to receive an unsolicited text message or email from a provider I had not seen in a while. New girls and variety are alluring, but the notion that a provider enjoyed her hour with me enough to remember me and take the step of reaching out to me?  That's hot.  

He presents himself as The World's Greatest Authority, but in fact knows nothing. He is the Professor Irwin Corey of this site.
Ignore him.

Things will pick up by mid September.  Hang in there.

Your rates are reasonable.  I just think there is an over-saturation of providers when you factor in visiting providers, seeking arrangement girls, brothels  and other outlets around the city (pop up strip clubs for example, constantly growing in number and that offer takeout at end of night).  Plus there are more ad boards than ever.  I won't even get into the generational conversation with fewer younger guys using escorts in a world of Tinder
