And sell toothbrushes.

and them bringing your drivel to another board to get beat up all over again?

and for the record I did see the other thread, but I was not one of the guys beating you up about it, even though it was every bit as stupid a post as we have grown to expect from you.

The woman is doing just fine on her own, why in the world would she want to take advice from a clueless wonder like yourself? If any other business was booming to the delight of the owner, so much so that he/she felt the need to hire someone to help out, would your advice be to raise prices to cut demand?

Sheesh, and you wonder why you are constantly the board piñata.

... how I got beat up a few days ago using a metaphor involving ice cream.

seldom prevail when they meet real market conditions....

lol u might be right or u might be wrong im no hooker market analyst  
but i can see why guys would bash u for telling her to raise her prizes

...but only when the cash flow allowed for a more refined product/service gaining access to higher calibre venues.

You have no expertise in determining provider's rates. Your advice to her lacked a foundation, and was merely a kiss ass/suck up to get her attention. Stick to crawling and begging for dates and leave the business end to the providers.

Pimping 101 now?

Once again, Tidwit offers advice about things he knows nothing about.  What a shock.  And his apple pie analogy is totally wrong and not applicable.  He needs to realize he's still a complete noob and should stick to that board until he learns how to play the game.
Of course, the odds of that are slim and none.

They do it in private away from public boards. They don't want to enrage the hobbyists that they are trying to price fix the market. I had a session years ago where a provider called up other another provider telling her to raise her rates.

I hope she does not take your advice and does find someone to help her as she is new and obviously is seeking some sound guidance. Hopefully she will figure things out, remain safe and won't burnout in a few more months.  

I can't find the specific article, but the Freakonomics guys analyzed some stats from Chicago, I think. Since I forget their conclusion, I can't post it.  Maybe someone will find a better link (to the specific article on rates versus profits).  

The vast quantity of things you don't understand is mind boggling, especially where it comes to women in general and P4P in particular.

I think as a general rule of thumb, a person could just take your advice on any subject, do the exact opposite and be quite pleased with the results.

The prostitution story about their research in Chicago is in the second book Superfreaknomics.
Very interesting chapter of the book.
If people are curious google freaknomics prostitution they can find that chapter of the book.
The study was the difference between a high-end prostitute versus a street prostitute.

I thought I agreed with GaG's post.  But when one of our Moron's In Chief agreed with it, too, I became uncertain.  I think it's explained by the old expression, "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then."

"Mr Tidwell?" Really?

 But at least now we have both apple pie AND ice cream.    
   
 For some reason your post reminded me of a bit Rich Little did years ago on Ronald Reagan and Reaganomics and pies:  
   
 RICH LITTLE (AS RONALD REAGAN): Suppose your mom bakes a big blueberry pie. Now that pie represents the wealth of this country. Now, take that pie and divide it in half. The top half is for defense spending. The bottom half is for domestic programs and the other half is for the national debt.  
   
 MAN: But sir, a pie has only two halves?  
   
 LITTLE: No, you don't seem to understand. So let's move on to another question...

Seriously, there is so much about this you don't get it's scary.  

No other explanation can explain the double post.

Fell asleep most chapters but woke up when they talked about prositution. LOL

... go pay her.

Trying to get him to understand what he doesn't know is pretty much impossible.

Isn't much of a freak at all.  Maybe I need to get lessons from jaydalee?  ha ha ha

So shoot me.  No, that's not enough... drawing and quartering, perhaps?

Maybe us hookers in Chicago only read this stuff out of hometown pride...

I see your point....I can't speak for other ladies, but in my personal experience, charging more means I can take less appointments and still make about the same. So just because I charge more, doesn't necessarily mean I am making more, but it does mean that I have more energy and can do a better job in every session. And I can enjoy the sessions more because I am less tired, stressed or in a rush. And I'm sure guys would appreciate a girl with freshness and liveliness, because then the session is more fun for them, too. But every girl is different. I just personally get too tired if I take on too many appointments in a day.
BUT I am not sure if this is good advice for someone just starting out...jumping to a different rate means new clientele, and before one makes that jump, it's probably good to have established some regulars who can see her at their old price, so she can still stay busy while she's waiting to build new clientele.
If this lady is overwhelmed by her volume of calls, I would suggest screening better instead of focusing on pricing. Just my

Yes, it takes balls to jump to a higher rate. It might be slow for a while. Regulars will carry her through that period. ...off topic, it's dangerous to take every call. Getting lots of calls is common, but I only respond to a slim margin of my callers. (It's very easy to pass my screening, all a guy has to do is to follow my screening instructions. But many don't, and many say rude things during screening. This lets me know who is a gentleman and who is not.  if it's clear that someone is not, then this person is not worth seeing. It can lead to stalking, fake reviews, boundary crossing, etc.) I wish someone would have told me about the importance of taking the time to screen carefully when I was new...bad things can happen, worse than the things I just mentioned..screening prevents that, but also promotes compatibility, which leads to regulars, who are essential to this businesses...anyways sorry about my preachy rant lol. Once she has lots of regulars and has been doing this for awhile, then maybe she will feel comfortable raising her rates

She was virtually the only responder not to ridicule you.  Your problem is you continually fail to understand those who criticize you and change your approach to one less foolish.

I spoke with her and she said she is going to raise her rates very soon.
