Does anyone else feel the term low volume provider is often used to justify less business because of a higher rate? I struggle to buy it if a provider is willing to accept a one hour booking. If you want to be low volume and make better connections, only taking multiple hour bookings would be more believable.  I might be more inclined to see someone high end if she felt a price point was where it was worth her time, but it was coupled with a 3 hour booking. There’s not a lot more you can do with one hour at a higher price than some of the competitors at lower prices. If you’re not going to see multiple clients in the same day, then why even bother with offering one hour?

I have yet to hear any real precise definition of the term so it is absolutely meaningless to me.

but generally I’d say it’s no more than 3 to 4.  

It probably doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone, so it’s fair to ask anyone using it what it means to them. For me, no more than one client in a day, and no more than 3-4 in a week would be low volume. This is why I feel one hour appointments don’t make a lot of sense for a true low volume provider.

Keep in mind that some ladies have real-life careers and don't need a lot of escort business.  

As Robert said, the word low is very subjective, so “low volume” is meaningless as far as any exact definition. It means whatever the person saying it thinks it means. It’s definitely become a bit of an advertising buzzword. I’m sure there are plenty of ladies who say low volume in their ads but see eight clients a day every day.  

If a low volume provider doesn’t accept one hour bookings, she might miss out on some potentially excellent clients if she does not offer one hour sessions. A lot of guys want a one hour session to check out chemistry. They are going to book 2-3 hours with a provider they’ve never been with before.

I feel the same way. I really would prefer first meetings be one hour. I have had a few quys book multiple hour sessions for the first visit and 3 hours can be a veerrryyy long time if you really don't have a lot in common and things to talk about.  
This is my only job so I do this full time. When I go back over my books I average about 45 to 50 clients a month, so average would be 2 a day, but sometimes one, sometimes none, sometimes 3. I leave an hour in between appointments even when I tour otherwise I think I would become a raging bitch and I would just punch guys in the junk with foam hulk hands if I didn't. Actually maybe I should add that to my BDSM sessions......

Fucking 10 dudes a week is definitely not low volume lol.

I would say they are differentiating themselves as an independent escort.

Do real world dates, for lack of a better term, not count in your definition? That is why this whole determination of what is, and what is not "low volume" is really absurd, respectfully. For example, if a girl has 3 p4p dates in a week, but has sex with 4 different guys over the course of that same week in her personal life, would she still qualify as low volume to you?
I am not making fun of you just pointing out how impossible it is to ever know what the girls actual "volume" is to determine if she is low or high. This is why I truly don't care about it as I could never know the full truth anyway.  
As far as one hour dates go, are you familiar what many of those cost these days? For example, I just did a search on Tr*st for NYC and there are well over 250 girls who charge at least $1000 for just that one hour (many higher).
Using your definition, those girls could have 4, one hour dates a week and make 4-6k that week, which is potentially $300k for the year, and yet you would consider her low volume.  
I just think it is fruitless to go down this road but just my 2 cents. Thanks for your thoughts on this.

He is saying no more than 3-4/wk. You place the threshold at 10/wk. You are approx THREE times higher than his definition! Therein lies the problem. Since everyone could define it so drastically different, the definition of the term is rendered completely meaningless.

In my opinion, kgirls are the definition of high volume at five or more sessions per day six days a week. All others are low volume even with occasional days of 3-4 sessions.

While it is possible, I doubt many providers go on 3-4 dates a week that involves free sex. If we’re talking Sugar Daddy arrangements, those count.

For many, the rates drive the numbers. Independent providers who charge $400 will draw multiple dates a day, especially if reviewed well and/or marketed well. The dollar amount is especially important for travel ladies. They are booking flights, hotels, Ubers and incurring other additional expenses. If you see one charging $600 or less, they meed to average 2 dates a day to make it worth it. Multiple hour dates count more because in the end it’s about the money brought in and not the number of dates. And TBH, if my interest is a low volume provider, knowing I’m the only she saw that day vs. the chance I’m at the back of a train makes a big difference.

They’re trying to say you won’t get VD from them

The low volume is because the hobbyists want to pay a "CRACK WHORE" price. And you can't treat the Provider as a crack whore.

And if it is meaningless, than it is just a promotional buzzword, which is really the point I am making.

I never claimed I was "low volume". And again, this is my full time job.  
The only thing I have ever heard guys have in issue with is gals getting burnt out.  
Now I am not an expert here, but I would think a provider who has another full time job and is working 40-50 hours a week there and then seeing a few clients a week on top of it would be more burnt out than I am for working a total of....
drum roll.....10 hours a week. To each their own, of course.

Robert missed the boat on the definition. It’s  not a meaningless adjective. He cites a difference between 4 and 10 while ignoring the fact that some agency girls are seeing over 50 customers a week.

My entire point is that it is impossible to define with any accuracy at all, and your post and Zeel's contrasting definitions are just exhibit A in a sea full of possible examples. What agency girls do is totally and completely irrelevant to my point. I am well aware some ladies service that many (50+) clients in a week. No clue as to why you would divert to them and their volume. smh.

You can't just jump right to Crack Ho. You have to honor the Ho hierarchy.

it seems like this is more like the ladder you climbed to get where you are today.  You said a few days ago, you started at a $15 price point with a streetwalker.

You’re ignoring scale. The difference between 4 and 10 pales in comparison to the numbers some high volume providers encounter.

No that doesnt work here because shes not claiming to be low volume.

low volume = sugar daddy/whale.  just a guess.  

Low volume doesn’t mean a higher fee . Or does it?  I was thinking, it  meant , not Plenty Of “playtime “ in general. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

a higher fee. I know some low-volume providers who, as you said, have little “playtime”, due to other jobs or something else, and their fees aren’t what I consider to be high-end. But some low-volume providers make up for the lower volume with higher fees.

on the last part.  "Low volume" providers are often those that have a day job and do this on the side.  They are low volume by necessity, not by choice, but there is nothing wrong with spinning it as a positive for marketing purposes.  Customers have been conditioned to THINK low volume is better, but some of the best providers I have seen were full time and their experience level and skills are high as a result.  Each lady should position themselves in the market in a way that works for their lifestyle and results in a good attitude and an enthusiastic approach to what they do.

I compare myself to the old me, so when I first started in this wonderful industry long ago I would see as many men as possible on any given day. Now, I am a single Super Mamacita raising children solita. I only entertain one, or two new friends per month. If you look at my reviews I have been here on TER for longer, than most & I only have 70 reviews that’s a low # compared to others, and many are repeated longtime friends.  

Pearl Davis claims that single dads make better parents than single moms.  

... in general.

"low-volume", but still entertain one or two NEW friends per month, that contradicts what you said about "repeated longtime friends."  If you are successful in KEEPING long-term customers, you would not be here every single day trolling for NEW friends, would you?  Now if you want to tell us most of your long-term customers are so old, they keep dying off on you and have to be replaced, that's an acceptable excuse for the desperation you show here.  

Zeel,
 The Provider Volume is low because the Hobbyists want to treat the Providers as a $2.00 Crack Hoe and we are not that.

I think the original LV providers were the ones that had at least a 4hr minimum, often an overnight.  
There are still women around like this but the 2 that I remember the most from way back are Jetset Lara and Annmarie. Can’t recall was JSL’s minimum was but Annmaries was 24hrs.  
I’m going back over 25 years here…maybe 20…and they were about £8k then. On the back of that, several providers sprung up who had 4 hr mins for about £2.5k. Almost all these women flew to men so it was just not possible for them to be doing multiple appointments per day. When the economy was much stronger, demand for them was outstripping supply and they were still only doing 1 a day. Maybe every day but only one a day.  
Is that low volume? Not really to me. 1 or 2 a week would be LV in my books but we all have different views on it  

Is that 3 or 4 a week, or 3 or 4 a month?
