I look at some of the ladies touring to my area  
or even locals and think to myself;

"WTF are you thinking requesting such a high rate"

at times however, I have seen the opposite and actually feel she should be charging
a bit more based on competition, looks and the skills she had.  

When coming up with your donation request,  
do you look at yourself (looks and age) and the services you provide
or do you look at others and base it on competition for that area you are in?

Your thoughts if any?

It's a constant barrage of verbal diarrhea. Do you ever stop?

Look at all of that here on TER, but also consider no one looks exactly the same, so style of looks is tough to go by

My re-election campaign is getting ramped up and we take any and all donations.    

Care to contribute?  

You can send your check to my office at the Hart senate bldg.

ealizing the overall economy is down.... Very down IMO. I discovered on my return that rates generally went up. Girls that now request $400-$500... 4 years ago would request $300. There were PLENTY of quality options in the $250-$400 area.

I would have expected more competitive pricing, but a provider can ask what she feels her time & effort are worth. Either that falls in your market or you have other choices. I get it. I think it may be more than fine for a provider to ask more/ take fewer appts and her gross income remains generally unchanged. She can be more selective... it's up to her how she runs her business. It has limited me in certain situations.

Unfortunately, in my business, prices have gone down and the rates charged are lower than they were 15-20 years ago due to competition. So I need more customers to remain even..... a provider needs less.  

That's the way the Cookie Crumbles and that's the deal... So I deal with it. I can chose a certain provider, choose another provider or refrain from buying. All personal choice.

As the need for new clients decreases, the rate usually increases. I have seen providers with the same rate for over 5 years and wonder how they can keep up that pace being full time, and why they don't think they could even get say 50 bucks more. Over the years, my rates have gradually increased but ONLY for NEW clients...I have never gone up on someone who even saw me once years ago, but I am also not going to pass up an appt. for a grand for one at only 400, so that is generally understood and respected.  

It certainly is not because I am a 10 or the fk of the century that justifies the rate, though some ladies do put looks as the basis for charging a premium.

Many of us track expenses and know what rate constitutes profit or operating in the red.

Traveling, hair, nails, lingerie, shoes, hotel rooms, flights, advertising, eating healthy is expensive, gym memberships, personal trainers, photo shoots, website designers, the list goes on and on........    

How many clients do we want to see per day.....also.
