Statistically, Faye, far and away, most if not nearly all providers charge an amount higher for outcall to account for their time and gas milage to come to the client's location. They charge less for incall because they don't have to take the time or cover the cost to travel to the client's location, and on some threads some providers have voiced concern over going to an outcall location if it's the client's home until they know the client as have some clients until they know the provider. When a client goes to your incall, as you know, they have to travel X distance to it, and they have to find it. Sometimes it's a little more difficult to find the incall location than others according to a lot of reviews I've read. Have you checked out any of several thousand provider ads in this area to see the price differential for incall and outcall?
A number of other providers who are successful and well reviewed indies say they modulate the volume, or that they are "low volume", so you would have to talk to them as to their profit/time ratio, and how they handle the cost of incall. It might be feasible for you to share the incall cost with another provider if you can work out logistics so that you don't make yourself or clients uncomfortable.
Before someone says what is axiomatic, of course any provider running a business has a right to charge what they want, and set the business milieu up the way they want, to paraphrase countless providers, but this is a market place. I doubt that your proposal is going to be adopted by many providers. A number of providers have posted tips over the last few recent weeks, months and years as to how you can minimize your hotel costs, and which hotel booking agencies to use, and if you ask them for help as to the best way for you to minimize your costs and hassles in that regard, I feel sure they will offer suggestions.
I saw a provider recently who was very nice. I researched her ads over the years and her price point. When I got there, she quoted me a higher price than her current ad is running, and her current TER profile is running. I showed her the website that was online at the time.
I think it is the provider's duty to check and make sure that her TER profile is accurate, and the client reviewer's duty if he is going to do a review, to make sure he doesn't leave any "don't knows" on commonly sought services that are on every client and provider's mind during an encounter. That's a separate topic. I understand TER is considering some changes to make the profiles more accurate. They can be corrected now by clicking on "Report a problem" in the profile, including your provider name or client alias and TER #, or by emailing TER support. There are differences sometimes between profile donation amounts and websites or ads, if a website exists. Most providers would say to defer to the website, but as some providers have said, the provider has IMHO a duty to take a minute to insure her profile is accurate as to donation and the services she performs.
There was recently a thread either on the newbie board or the regular ATL board where clients agreed with me as to profile accuracy, and not to long ago there was a thread on the ATL board where several well reviewed providers and frequent provider contributors said that they considered it their job to check their profile and make it accurate.
Mismatches between TER Profiles and Reviews, and pandemic "I don't knows" in major service areas that clients always look for are all too frequent, and they shouldn't be.
I just read ***your profile.*** Under your services there several frequently sought service categories that are mentioned in nearly every TER review available for VIP members to read that say "don't know." Your two reviews were very positive, and for whatever reason the two reviewers didn't answer the "don't know" questions in several frequent service categories there, although one of them is inferred by the reviews. But ***you do know if you offer those services, and your clients know if they receive these services, so I respectfully suggest you contact TER to provide accurate answers to those services***. Those services are always on the majority of clients' minds, and they are mentioned in over 85% of the reviews I've read on TER, and I've read a lot of them. They are too often not answered in the profile. Most clients know if they get those services, and most clients try to get those services from the reviews I've read.
While it is true that sometimes a provider may offer a service to a client that she doesn't offer to another based on the chemistry between two people in the room, clients who research and read reviews have every right to have the "don't knows" removed from these profiles as to services, particularly when there are a number of reviews on the provider and they all say explicitly that she performs the service. This can be remedied by the client taking time not to leave a "don't know" by a particular service listing he has said in his review was performed, and the provider insuring that her profile answers the question with either a yes or a no rather than don't know. I'm not talking about services less frequently tried like multiple providers in the same session (two girl action, more than one guy at a time).
There are "don't knows" in your profile as to "multiple pops allowed", "cum in mouth", "lick pussy," and "rimming." TER sees them as criteria appropriate to list, and you haven't asked to have your reviews removed from TER, so you should answer those questions on your profile by contacting TER and updating your profile instead of leaving them as "don't knows" and a guessing game.
The provider knows if she is willing to consistently perform the service, and when asked in the room if she will, I'm willing to bet her reply isn't "I don't know." Some ads are explicit as to extra cost for certain services, and many are vague but the client should have an accurate idea of which services to expect when he pays for an encounter. It should not be a blind "crap shoot/guessing game.
Most providers won't/don't want to explicitly discuss details of services provided on the phone, and they say so empahtically on their websites or ads. Joining TER as a VIP to read the "juicy details" when there are enough consistent reviews so they aren't faked, fictitious, or written by the provider or someone at her direction enables research to be done that most experienced providers and clients recommend you do. Clients rely heavily on TER reviews, and they look at the profiles, and there is a recent review right now in the ATL area where the disappointing experience from a chronic rip-off artist who changes name, location, and phone number and always uses fake pictures would not have happend at all had the reviewer read 4/5 reviews and her profile that I took pains to make accurate. She is attractive, so she gets the money and then makes every client feel terrible when her obnoxious friend insists on being present in the room. The obvious response would be to run away immediately with your money in your pocket. If the profiles aren't accurate, what's their purpose for existence?
I wish you the best of luck in working out a satisfactory incall solution, and hope that you are very successful and continue to enjoy being a provider.
