Does it matter to us how many clients somebody else sees in a week; day; month?
Below, someone referenced somebody who saw between 20-25 clients per week. Is that a five day week, or a seven? If it were 7, then that would be three a day.
Is that every day of the month, or any days 'off'? What about 'that week'?
But, does it matter? I know there are ladies who crank out more than 3-4 a day. I'd even say as many as 6 a day, especially if they are 'open' until 11 or 12pm. There are some ladies who make $200-300k a year. Not many, but there are some.
There are some who crank up the volume for just a time - maybe pay off some bills, buy a car, put some money down on a house, pay off student loans, etc, and then back down their schedule to their 'norm'.
Personally, I'm glad there are all kinds. Because there are all kinds of men, who have all different schedules and different tastes. So, I'm glad that there are all kinds of ladies to accomodate the 'demand'. I'm even glad for the SW types, who, thankfully, take the clients that some of us probably wouldn't want to service. I'm glad for the ladies who are fulltime, so I can refer when I'm not available to fill a request; I'm glad for the ladies who keep late hours for those of us who want a regular bedtime.
Heck, regardless of whether I would WANT to, or even whether I COULD possibly handle that many clients in a day, or week, I can't help but at least ADMIRE someone's ability to keep up with that kind of pace! I do know of one lady, and that's a LOT of work! (No wonder the average 'lifespan' of a provider is three years..) AND, year in and year out? Wow. I don't even know how they would manage the time to go work out, run, or do anything else to maintain the stamina and good health to have that kind of schedule, but they do! To handle and juggle the 100+ emails a day! I'd have to hire some help! Seriously, I'd have to have somebody help with the housecleaning, laundry and cooking; walk the dog and run errands; be my driver; help with correspondence..but these ladies don't usually. They juggle it themselves. It might get an 'ewwwww', but, it also has to get a 'wow'.
For just a teeny while, I fantasize about being that much in demand to receive 100+ emails a day and the phone and pager going off all day long! To have the bank account, after working as many years on this planet as I have, finally look the way it should..that's a nice fantasy.
The average provider has how many dates per month do you think?
Would it be fair to say 6? How about 10? If they were one hour dates, at $300 an hour, that's $3000. Times 12, is only $36k for the year. Not nearly what a lot of people think.
But, I like what I have because it works for me, and I am who I am. And hopefully, others are happy with what they have going, too.
Big hugs for you all out there,
