Dear Readers,

We have many "good client" guides that describe how a provider prefers that a client behave during a session.  The information is excellent, and all hobbiests should take these guides to heart.  However, what is lacking is a "good provider" guide.  Being one of the more "critical" reviewers, I often get heat for overly harsh or detailed posts.  I agree that I will criticize and "nit-pick" far more than most hobbiests are willing to do.  However, I feel that without criticism, our providers have no feedback about what they are doing right, or doing wrong.   For those providers who wonder what goes into L/A/S numbers, and who genuinely care about improving their service, here is a list of suggestions, none of which are monumentally difficult to implement, to "improve your odds". The best providers know (and do) these instinctively.  

1. Turn it off: All cell phones, pagers, CB's, Ham Radios, and other communication devices should be turned off during the session.  Your client wants to feel that you are focused on his needs, and making sure he has a good time.  Ringing phones makes him feel like he really isn't your top priority.  There are many effective ways to manage appointments (email, voicemail etc.) without having to answer or make calls during a session.  

2. Drop the perfume:  Or at least go very light.    No one, married or not, wants to be overpowered by acrid perfume.   Not only does the scent linger in clothing and hair, creating potentially uncomfortable situations later for your client,  but also perfume tastes bitter, especially if sprayed directly onto an area which may receive kisses/licks. (Cleavage comes to mind)  If you must use perfume, a tip for getting the right amount: rather than spraying it directly on your skin, spray a mist into the air, and walk through it.  Similarly, don't use lotions, powders or oils that are heavily scented.  

3. Dress the part: Your business is providing a fantasy for your client.  He wants to feel that you are a sexy, mysterious creature.  Wearing sweats when you meet him, or jeans and a t-shirt, does not usually set this mood,  nor does white cotton panties and bra.  Try a g-string, thigh-highs, heels, makeup, FMPs, patent leather boots, leopard prints, leather, a merry widow, naughty nurse, fishnets, garters, vinyl pants, a short skirt with no panties, a conservative power suit on the outside, with a lacy delight beneath...get creative, and have fun with it.  Even better, ask your client in advance what kind of "look" he might want.  Chances are, he'll say "anything is fine" or "surprise me", mainly, he just wants to know that you care.

4.  Idle Chit-Chat: This depends on the client, but stick with conversation that is safe at first, until you get to know him better.  Avoid talking about other clients, unless he asks.  Nothing is more of a turn-off than hearing about your last "bad client".  He will only be left to think what you will be saying about him to your next client.  Don't pry into his personal life, unless he offers.  If he wants to volunteer where he works, whether he is married, whether he posts to the boards, what his age is, fine, but don't ask.  Again, this is a fantasy for him, he may not want to be reminded of his wife, ex-wife, lawyer, boss, age, tax attorney, etc.  Likewise, don't go on and on about your own personal issues, kids, family, BF, husband, what have you, unless he asks.

5. Take off the condom: Seems like a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised. Again, this is a service industry, it is a nice touch to remove the condom after, and gently clean him up.  Don't yank it off and toss him a handy-wipe.
