The following is word for word an actual email I rec'd in an agency newsletter. (not really an agency more like a couple of Providers that have a booker).

"I am really trying to give all you men a variety but we need the biz bad this week. VIP's- Take an additional $25 off to see our ladies."

Now based upon that verbiage and the fact that I have never visited any of those women I ask the following:

*  Would it be acceptable for me to ask for a discount?  

I really was not planning to see any Women this week due to my schedule and I have masturbated about three times already.  But if they need the business and need it bad should I take them up on it at a negotiated rate?

to persist and ask for more maybe futile. Most providers donations are non negotiable.

The above is also another reason why some dont like to extend discounts as they are sometime misread as desperation and find themselves bombarded with unreasonable offers.

Remember most donations range towards what the market will bare and also include over head expenses which make it really difficult to whittle down in certain locations.

They already offered a discount. Negotiating, at any time, is bad form. If anyone can't afford the price of admission....they should continue saving their pennies...and masturbating.

Just sayin'

the email clearly read "we need the biz bad".

So is out of line to say if the regular rate is $200 but I only have $150 - Is that OK?

I don't plan on doing this I am just asking if negotiation is ever OK.  It seems to me that if a Provider says need the biz bad then she may be open to it.

Maybe I'm the asshole but it just seems logical.

I will give my opinion...I do not have 10 years experience, so you can take it as a grain of salt.

To me, you can offer a price in a very nice way, and the provider can accept or reject (hopefully also in a very nice way). That's it.  

I phrase it this way: "Would you be comfortable with X for X amount of time?"

For me, the important word is comfortable.  I want the provider to be OK with the offer and not feel resentment.  I WOULD NOT agree to a certain price and then show up with less money.

Another spin on this is to offer full price, but ask if extra minutes are OK.  But ask in advance.

If the provider is not comfortable then that is the end of it.  I would rather pay full price and be with a happy provider then get a cheaper price and be with a provider that resents me.  

I figure if I ask nicely, the provider can say yes or no, and then I can decide what to do...if they say no, I may still see them anyway at full price. If I'm on the fence about seeing them, then I may wait.

There was a provider I wanted to see that had a price for one hour and a price for two hours.  I came up with what I felt was a fair offer for 90 minutes, and sent that offer in an email.  She politely declined, so I decided to see her for an hour.  However, we could not sync our schedules for that week, so I decided to wait one more week to see her.  I definitely wanted to see her, but was not in a big hurry. The next week came and she sent me an email that the offer for 90 minutes was fine with her.  I accepted and we had a wonderful time.  

Just be a gentleman and ask nicely.  And don't try to re-negotiate once you get there.

been served?  NO!

And how do you know which items are negotiable and which are not?

That is what separates the gentlemen from the...

they've opened a Pandora;s Box and RidgeTucky's question is (in my opinion) completelly understandable.
I would never even bother esponding to an email where someone is asking me for a discount, but they have stated they are desperate, making it sound like they will take whatever they can get. I would say
I read your post, Im interested in XXXXX lady bu tmy bidget is $150. Do you have any service at that rate?"

the door is opened to a counter but it still not classy, makes you look cheap.

Im with cyclist on this one is your budget is tight ask for a shorter session.

Your not going to know if you don't ask. How did they get your e-mail to begin with if you never used any of them before. Seems to me that offer just might apply to you and I see no harm in asking. They are druming up business and who say's your not a VIP.

Every single product and service is open to negotiation.  The key is that the negotiations need to be respectful.   You can negotiate with a lawyer, a Doctor, etc..

There are woman who advertise specials, and even who accept alternate offers for their services.   They are the ones whose business usually remains stable.   The ones who charge $XXX and will not accept one penny less are likely the ones who complain about the lack of business.

Now, before you respond I understand a few things:
 1. This does not apply to all women.   There are women who will always be busy no matter what.   So do not respond with the text: "Well, I only accept XXX and never have a problem staying busy..

 2. There are many factors that affect a woman's business level.  Price is merely one of them.

What it sounds like to me for the OP is that the time is ripe for a session at a real good price.

Look, just about any lady or agency will be insulted if you ask for a discount.  They're already offering $25 off... don't be greedy.

if that's your style, but keep in mind that it's probably going to effect the quality of your session. Personally, I have never even considered any kind of negotiation. There are a lot of ladies that I'd love to meet, but are simply out of my price range. If I am dead set on meeting a new lady, I'll just save up until I can afford it.

"I really was not planning to see any Women this week due to my schedule and I have masturbated about three times already.  But if they need the business and need it bad should I take them up on it at a negotiated rate?"

If I was not planning on seeing a lady this week, a discount of $25 off her normal rate would not be much of an incentive to see her. I had a grand-mother that would be all sorts of cr@p, because it was on sale, while losing sight that she did not what it or need it.

And, is this a newsletter you asked for? If not, I'd be worried how my information got into their hands.

I'd be honest and ask them their definition of VIP to determine if I qualify for the discount.

Reread what he has wrote. Check what I posted before and let's not beat up on this nice man. We might need a punching bag later and he'll be the only one available. Let's all throw him kisses for now.

He's being nice asking if he would be considered VIP and should mention the $25 discount...
