I am just curious, what percent of a provider's clients are returning ones?

The reason I am asking is that over the years, I have seen my fair share of providers who make little to no effect in the session that a client would ever want to go back.

I know we have such sites as TER and that helps to find those quality provider.   And I am not slamming the higher rated providers either.  It just seems to me, the majority of provider that getting clients to return is that all that important to their business

Since I am very picky & only now cater to individuals who share the same interest I would say my repeat clientle rate is 80%, or higher.  I stopped seeing those who are only interested in another notch on their belt.  My goal is to find only a few special fellas who are only interested in having a real life changing experience.  I have 1 now that is really my friend & not only a client, which to me is priceless.  We have been making memories to last a life-time for over a year now that maybe why I do not feel the need to post.  When you share a comnection why go anywhere else?

just like most businesses I'd think return customers are the base of their business. So I'd say the ladies that do well are probably around 80% return.

wouldn't be here without lasting friendships ! Thank you, Gentlemen . There are men that like to build a comfort zone. So much easier to nurture what  sowed. I like it that way and a lot less screening to be done on both sides.

For me it's not a matter of them being a client. I despise that word.
And it's not a matter of whether they return or not. As they're NOT a business to me.

This to me is about enjoying the man, his companionship and enjoying the connection that's made. I don't waste my time wondering if he'll return.  
If he happens to want to enjoy another date or another after that. It's because he enjoyed the woman he met and enjoyed the adult companionship. As well as his budget, and work/life's every day schedule allows him the downtime to enjoy himself.  
I seldom ever see new dates.  No matter where my work travels take me and I hobby in those areas. My dates tend to be wonderful men that I've enjoyed many times before.  
As they DO make a date of our time together and it's never about it being a *job* nor a wham bam thank you ma'am encounter.

Those who don't make the companionship enjoyable for the man. Is well, just seeing him as a job they simply don't enjoy.( meaning, sex, passion, intimacy, adult pleasure is not something they're really into.)  And what man wants to feel like a *job*? to someone?
Maybe some men do and those men choose to see the gals that don't enjoy men.  
But the men I meet.....they don't.  

 

 

I have to say, this must be one of the bests posts I have read on TER. Draws me in without a doubt.

I think I agree, but not quite.  I actually like women who think of it as a job, but not a job they dislike, more in the if you love your job you never work a day in your life frame of mind, but that sounds kind of like what you mean anyway.  

I guess the reason I draw what may seem like a difference without a distinction is that I love having intimacy and will see the same woman for an extended time, I also like to advocate for sex worker rights, and part of the problem I run into on occasion when expressing myself to people outside the industry is that many people DON'T view what providers do as a job, but rather some imprisonment or a person in need of rescue, which might be true in some cases, but there's a huge segment who don't want or need "rescue" and I think one of the first steps in that process is recognizing that it is a job and deserves all the same protections and respect that any other highly skilled profession might deserve.  So I talk in terms of it being a job, but it can be just as fulfilling as any other form of therapy.  

Sorry for the soapbox.

Two things:
The first is I prefer to build a strong business relationship with someone.  I invest time and effort in research to find someone that I think would be a compatible companion and provider.   The first time, ok. Everyone gets 1st date and moves on.  Second time, it's a little more, since I chose to return.  Third time and beyond, there is something that has connected on some level to justify returning and it's worth looking into.  This is a two-way street as well, as I've been told.    
Secondly, given all the risks and complete insanity out in Way Far East SD (aka PHX) these days (too early to blame the heat),  it's pretty safe to make plans with someone you've seen multiple times.

From my experience starting out very young in the hobby @ 24, I was afraid to see many women so I would often repeat, I would say I have seen 95 percent of all the women I have seen at least twice.

For me it made booking easier. Second made for a better session.

At 35, I am still as young or just a little older than the women I see.  In this case the lines between business and personal relationships can become blurred sometimes. You usually hear the cases where the man oversteps his boundaries. But  in the years I have had a few cases in which I have had the woman do so. It usually happened after seeing a woman multiple times. I recently had one get upset for seeing another woman.  

In other cases, I have actually come to know much about the women even real names and some have become Facebook friends, but we never mix the two.

A little bit if a soapbox response, but just my two cents on the pluses and possible negative of returning multiple times.

I have usually  visited the same ladies several times....I developed my list of favorites and always enjoyed myself.  One lady in particular always made myday....brought her two pieces of fancy pastry from a local bakery on onevisit, another visit chocolates and another occasion a pair of sexy maribou high heels
I always enjoyed our time together and so did she
