"Escort consultant" sounds like a fancy title for a pimp. You are probably better off just reading up on escort work online and proceeding with caution. At the minimum, you need to advertise, and you need either reliable transportation or an incall location. You should also screen your customers, either by requiring references for other providers that they have seen, or else a way to verify employment so that you know they aren't law enforcement. You could outsource the screening and maybe even your scheduling, but you should be able to handle that yourself unless maybe you are travelling.

but many gals employ schedulers to make life easier for them.   They do screening as well.

Yes, you should.  

Former providers who now train new ladies on how to get started, website design, photographer recommendations, etc. certainly do exist. And no, they are NOT "pimps".  

Yes, find a reputable one and invest. It will save you a lot of time and trouble, and keep you SAFE.

You'll come up with a few names. These are women with experience in the industry, who can help guide you through your first few weeks.  

If I'd done something like that, it would have saved me from making a lot of mistakes... including, some pretty BIG mistakes.

Some deal specifically with booking, screening, and scheduling.
Others deal in branding, marketing, and website creation.
Some do all of the above; most of these folks would in no way be considered pimps. Doing your research, however, is very important.

Digging around on Twitter or on provider-only boards can help you discern who is worth your time and money and who isn't.  

Good luck!
