You wrote a glowing review on your new ATF.  You probably contributed to making her more popular and it looks like you now might get rewarded by paying more.  Your ATF is going to raise her rates.  How much of a rate increase would you be willing to absorb?

It has been typical for a girl who's raising her rate to continue seeing repeat customers at the old rate, at least for a period of time.

I would do C. But, I' sensing some anger. If I was pissed off, I wouldn't see her until I found a way to get over it.

That is not one of the options.  Either she is not grandfathering anyone or you were grandfathered for a period of time which has expired.  What do you do?

Why do you think anyone here is going to answer a marketing survey for someone thinking of raising their rate?

But with covid 19 making her RL and provider life more difficult I just started leaving an extra 100.

One of the answers the OP gave to choose from was the option not to accept ANY kind of price increase.  

The implicit option, really the only one that flows from my post is, if she doesn't grandfather you, you walk. I know Bozo is as dumb as they come but I'd hoped you weren't. But, hey, I'm a nice guy so I won't draw any conclusions. In your case. As for Bozo, it's too late for that hopeless dimwit.
LOL

I would willingly go 30% for 1 of them.  
I would gladly have gone 30% or 200 for the 2nd.
For the third, I willingly absorbed a $300 increase. And I might have gone higher.  She deserved an 11/11.

"new ATF", you identify yourself as one of those guys who says "ATF" when what you REALLY mean is CF (current favorite).  I only have ONE ATF, because to me its literally "all-time-favorite."   She is long gone, but I always have a current favorite, and the survival rate on these before I get bored and want a NEW CF is about 3-4 months.  So you can do the math, and see about how many CF's I have had in my 12 years in  P4P.  

F. If she's my ATF I'm all in until someone takes her place...

But I'll go with F

My ATF hasn't raised rates to me in 3+ years, although I've seen her rates in current ads have gone up.

Answer(s): C/D

I might pay up to $200 more,  but I’d have to see her less often.  

It’s pretty much a given that rates will increase as they gain more popularity, inflation, etc. I’m willing to go up by 100. Most who have increased their rates have offered to grandfather me their old rates....

all the girls are reading and follow the suggestions so many are saying. It will be good for their business. And they should also keep in mind that if the price doesn't work for others it is still good to keep that new rate for these special clients who get that extra value from the sessions.  After all, a good price discriminating producer will simply transfer value from the consumer side without impacting the output quantity margin.

Its not like you get a choice on what her rate bump is gonna be.
You just decide if its worth the increase or not. There were a couple that I probably would have continued to see if their rates had doubled. And some that I wouldn't go back to on a 50 buck increase.

.....consider what it will cost to find someone else you like as much...you should be grandfathered in...if not,maybe you are not HER atf....

but not exactly, and I never thought of it that way. My long-time ATF has had only a couple of rate increases in nearly 10 years.  I think they were each around $40-50 but I don’t remember how much. Each time she told me I could pay the old rate. Each time I paid her current rate. Her rates are reasonable for the market and the high quality of her services. And she has kids, a house, a car, college tuition for awhile, healthcare etc.  And I could afford it. So, why not.  

Unless she is one of my favorite ex-porn stars.  Then, I would say D.  

If she's my ATF then, in addition to her rate, I'm giving her a generous tip as well as gifts. There's a reason she's my ATF after all, and it is never because of her rates.

Depends on how good she make my dick feel. The “x” factor. Lol

Grandfathering is a privilege, not a right.

Its an individual, stand-alone decision based on how important maintaining that specific relationship is.  I wish I could bring myself to do that, but its just not the way I'm wired.

without actually firing them. Someone I met from this board taught me about "A" "B" and "C" clients, rate raising, grandfathering, etc.

I have suggested to a few of my regulars who were fully booked all the time that they raise their rates incrementally until they reach a point where they have cleared out the marginal customers and are left with the guys who tip well, book frequently and book multiple hours.  It has worked out well for several of them. They may not have a full schedule everyday, but at the end of the week, they made more money than when they were fully booked.

RETIRE from the board and become a booker.

Bidding against yourself is never a good strategy.

Although if her rate, like in the case of one of my faves, was already near my limit then any increase and I'd most likely  just move on to other ladies.
