I usually get the donation in large bills as cash-back when I make a deposit. I book two hours and can't withdraw enough in one visit anyway. If I do it in two ATM visits my bank gives me 20's and two fives when I withdraw the maximum. I usually have a few five's and ten's on me anyway. I really don't see this as an issue. LOL, just don't stick her with a bunch of singles...unless you want a lap dance as part of the fantasy!

I see many ladies who have rates like 325 or 250 or something along those lines. When I go to the ATM, it only hands out $20's and I just round her rate up to the nearest $20.

I was just wondering if the ladies would be better by just having rates in increments of 20? I am sure some ladies get guys who round down just as often as guys who will round up.

Personally I don't feel like stopping at a store or something along the way after visiting the ATM so I don't break up the 20's.

Ladies, do you set your rates out of habit using fractions everyone is used to? Guys do you stop and break up your ATM withdrawl or just round up/down?

I get my cash back, from deposits, in large. And, then I save some smaller denominations from shopping, etc., and keep the large and small in a safe place so I'm ready for anything from a massage to a multiple hour date, and tipping.

don't be cheap!
Why don't you tip a little...even if the service was not satisfactory.
So what is $10 going to get you anyways!!

I just give them the extra $10 to 15 and it far better than shorten them by that amount.  $10-15 is too little to quibble about when you are already paying 250-325/hour

And will change my rates to an even $4000 per hour....

(nice of me, isn't it???)   LOL

If the donation called for is x25, x50, or x75, just round up. If you're that stressed out over a lousy $5 - $15, you can't afford to hobby with the top tier ladies in the first place.

either that, or go buy a pack of gum and get change for your $20 bill.

balthazar, I'm surprised at you, you usually sound more intelligent than this.

Sorry but I did even say I always just round up. I was just asking the question to see what people think. I was kind of curious as to how providers think up their rates, basing them on fractions of the $100 that we are used to growing up (1/2---1/4)?

So far...

I have planned ahead enough to actually go to the bank and turn my 20's into 100's. I think a smaller envelope is nicer than a big ol' fat one (especially since it does not get sealed, and wont bulge out in my pocket).

But I would also round up, never down, if such was the case.

I pay the designated fee.  I get the money from the ATM a few days ahead of my appointment, so it's not a problem to get a $10 bill so I have the right amount.

If you ween and whine over 20 dollars-
then this is the wrong hobby for you -
Perhaps train collecting ?LOL

Go buy a pack of gum if you are so worried

I guess the Duke of Westminister ,who is the one of the richest men in the UK is not a gentlemen then since one of the hookers he saw from the Emperors Club said he haggled about price :)

I'm sure the ladies would whine if they were short $5, $10, or $20. Why do you think we're so cheap if we question giving $260 for a $250 appointment but the ladies would be all over us if we gave $240 for a $250 appointment? Sounds like a double standard to me.

Uhm.. Ive never seen an alert in my life for that- and trust, me i see alot of alerts- If i did see that, id send her the flippin ten dollars to shut her up -

my donations are what they are. I thought of the marketing strategy for staying under a certain amount and what the ATM hands out (except for certain hours).

I'm fairly new to this but I have noticed that I often receive a rounded up amount in forms of 20s.. It was also recently suggested by another provider that my rates may be a little low.. just wondering what you guys think of that?  I'm asking 150/hr and 250/2 hrs.  I asked that because, after doing a little research and being new, I thought that was a fair price.. but I've also been told that sometimes men (when they see a lower price) won't see those girls because they may think the "quality" is lower..

What do you think?  Suggestions?

No one can tell you what to charge-
You charge what YOU feel what YOUR time is worth -
The girls will always tell you , you are too low-
Cause men will be more apt to see you and not them..

Charge what YOU want to charge-

it's great performance that creates great dates,  repeat customers and the best reviews.

The ladies I think will be able to give better advice than the guys. My thought is they would be more objective than guys, although there is always the risk that some may say you are too low out of fear of general price depression (i.e. competition).

To address your specific question to guys about losing some business from those that might fear your quality is too low. That might happen, but I would think that your bigger worry about quality will come from attracting too many “low quality” guys that you might otherwise not want to deal with.

Time will tell, but ultimately you have to be the judge of what any given price is "getting" you.

If you are not getting enough business, you need to lower your rates.

If you are getting exactly the right amount of business, you should leave them alone.

If you have more business than you can handle, you should raise your rates.

Simple business economics.

Applies to selling your house, too.

However, I am not sure what the going donations are in your area. It does seem you're very low, my dear. And don't let anyone tell you that you have to be Barbie-doll material to get more $$. And one opinion of a Barbie doll is different than another's opinion. That's silly. I know a lot of ladies who are full-figured and beautiful. Shoot! I'm not skinny. I used to charge a lot more, but now that I'm doing Incall and the money is still better than in the corporate world so I'm not as picky. I think you could probably get between $200 to $250 safely, but that's just my opinion. Give it a shot for awhile and see what happens.

if you have more business than you can handle then your rates mmight be too low. OTOH if your phone doesn't ring at all your rates might be too high(unlikely in your case, your rates are rather modest). Then of ocurse if you are getting the ammount of calls that you are compfortable with, then you've hit the sweet spot.

Fewer, but larger bills or
More, but smaller bills?

Do the ladies care or have problems if the denomination of the bills are 50's or 100's ??

Do the ladies prefer 20's since they are easier to spend?
