In general, I'm assuming you want referrals from clients. Recommendations by your client to his friends. Its business, recommendations are good advertisements.

I love, love, love referrals.
The deal was earned by the client not his friends.  
Referrals are golden and would gladly take his friend on but not for the same deal.
If his friend is as wonderful and consistent then yes but highly unlikely. I doubt his friends are going to share the same chemistry.
I could be wrong but as a distant opinion, that’s my answer. Great question btw

So, you would welcome the question from your client? Yes, tell them I would love to see them, if they pass screening. But, also let them know they won't get the same rate. Would you enter into a discussion about a discount for multi day/weekend rate? Or, "just look at my website for donations".

In my line of work I'll have clients come in from overseas for a few days (LA), then afterwards they'll want to make a trip to Vegas to unwind. They'll ask me "who I know", I'll show them who, based on their likes and I tell them her rate. I NEVER,NEVER tell them how I'm treated because I don't want to put her in an awkward position of saying "No" or a "Gee, I dunno". Because if she says "Yes", but reluctantly, guess who gets canceled on if a better deal comes along..Yup, my client. Now that's not good for me.
I'll vouch for the guy because you can forget about screening, who's gonna look up some old dude from Ningbo China...lol.
And these guys really aren't concern about saving a few bucks on  "entertainment". I'll do the same for friends also....And for all these years we have NEVER had a problem.
And I must compliment you on a interesting thread that isn't politically related,catch you on the PR board.......Fucking with you...lol

If you have a circle of acquaintances where there's mutual trust, you share info on providers you recommend.  It's even more reliable than reviews are in getting connected with someone with whom you'll click.

Absolutely.  

... whom I think would be a good fit, and good clients, for providers I know.  (With the gals, it's more often a suggestion about being doubles partners than clients.)  But the provider's usual screening still applies, and the rate is between the provider and her new client. I don't tell others what special deals I get from providers, just like I don't divulge any special services I get from providers that they choose to give only to some clients.  "YMMV" are four important letters in p4p.

Also Safe and Lucrative.  XoXo Sheila

in any business is word of mouth.  Excellent customer service and being remembered, doesn't get any better than that.

Likewise, see you on the flip side. People take P & R way too seriously.

Of course they will eventually get a special multi day rate IF they qualify for it just like my ATF client. I love making people happy when they're with me.

... about his special relationship constitutes a breach of faith for which the provider should not be penalized. It is his fault for setting false expectations and the fault of his friends for believing they could act on them.  m,  

I've told a few friends about a provider I've seen. But I would never tell my friends the price I pay to see her. She gives me a discounted rate for being a regular client. When my friends asked me what I pay to see this provider I always tell them her full rate. If my friends want the discounted rate that I'm paying, they'll have to earn it from her like I did.

As you said, it's a complicated issue with a few important points to be made.

Client referrals is how I do most of my business. Some of my clients get a discounted rate for various reasons, usually extended visits. This just applies to them. My clients who have referred me yet to have discussed the financials with their friends. They always tell them to discuss that with me.  I haven't had any referrals ask about discounts either. I'm actually told quite often my gift requirements should be higher.

I've been in sales/customer service/retail ops since 1969 (thus the handle -- I'm a dinosaur ) and to qualify for special treatment, you need to be a special sort of customer.

Agree.....I have had clients that have been referred to me by their friends, but no discount was ever discussed.  OK to discuss a provider, NOT OK to discuss if she is giving you a discount.  That is between the client and provider only.

I think the client should not be telling his buddies about the special rates he gets. They are for him, not for them. It's like when guys brag in a review about getting extra time OTC, or getting a service that she doesn't offer to other clients. That is not smart. It will get other guys to expect or demand that same treatment, which is not helping the lady any, and will hurt the initial relationship where the first guy probably won't be getting that anymore either.  

Retweet provider ads of those who I have seen here on TER as well as in person.  My Twitter is under my same username as here @Fridays117 and is mostly retweets of porn clips, gifs, provider ads, swingers and just pics of women I find appealing along with musings of my own.  So if you get a retweet from me, basically, I think you are either cute and sexy, or like your personality/persona here.  Its my small way of sharing/helping and while I expect nothing in return, saying hi once in awhile is a nice thing.  I may book one of these ladies, or I may never see them, the point is, the more I see and retweet, the more exposure they get, which, hopefully helps somebody out.  Plus, every once in a while I do book someone new.  I have a short list, but currently have been seeing the same provider (my ATF) and a few outliers and SBs for the past 2 years.  I think I have booked 2 Twitter "friends" in the past 5 years after checking their bona fides here on TER.  
So to sum up, my only referrals are retweets and answering a few PM'ed questions here and there.

I spent alot of time with one client in particular last year, and because he was a regular and did so much for me outside of our appointments I offered him specials. He referred two of his friends to me and everything was fine...until one of those friends asked him how much he gave me, and he let it slip. I did not extend the same rate to that friend because he became irritating and childish when he found out he was paying more, and we were forced to end our relationship.

Too bad there are so many jerks out there who don't.

I thought that was what a TER Review was for?  A positive review is a referral to the general public and I am not put in the position of divulging any parts of the business aspect.

I agree with Bianca, that referrals are amazing and much appreciated. After all, if you have a client you love, then his friends are probably pretty wonderful people too, aren't they? But the referrer should respect that the deal I give to him was one that was earned, and one that I will only extend to his friends once they've earned special treatment as well. Nothing makes a girl feel more horrible like you're getting passed around like a coupon book, and that's an easy way for that relationship to end.

I have no problem with that. But I'll never tell my friends the discount rate I'm paying to see her. As someone already said they had to drop the client for telling his friends the discount rate the client was paying. A discounted rate is earned through multiple visits. Expecting a discount rate on the very first visit is so wrong.
