1. Her costs go up with more dates. Makeup, hair, clothes are all expected to be on point. That isn't free. And with her, not cheap. She puts a lot into looking good for me. New panties, outfits, makeup and hair. She takes pride in looking good for me.
2. This can lead into a fixed monthly allowance. I've done this a few times and talked about it. If she's consistent enough, we will talk about her bills and I just take some over instead of allowance. It's more stable for her. Less stressful knowing I'm covering her ass. She doesn't have to worry about overspending since rent is paid. But, she needs to perform to get it. Knowing my expectations. She's not ready for overnights and trips. Maybe down the road.

Re: Volume discounts may be counter-intuitive to an SB

Re: Struggling for income
That's a big jump in payouts if it's PPM. Any volume discount.
Symp,
You bring up an interesting discussion topic:
The concept of a volume discount is a "merchant" mentality staple. Charging less per item if the customer buys more units will increase net revenue and move inventory faster, although at a lower margin (i.e.: gross profit). It's a tried-and-true tactic in sales that has been around forever.
But to an SB, it's counter intuitive. SB's tend to have more of an "artist" mentality, than that of a merchant. An SB tends to prioritize product value over sales revenue. In other words, once she has assigned a minimum value (or price) to her product (or pussy) she may never agree to selling it for less, even if a 10-30% discount could result in a 20-50% higher revenue.
So, offering to go from 2x a month to 4x for 25% less PPM just sounds like the SD is no longer willing to pay the PPM rate they already agreed on.
The math:
Accepting $400 ppm twice a month will generate $800 a month in monthly allowance.
Accepting $300 ppm (a 25% discount) 4 times a month will generate $1,200 in monthly allowance, a 50% increase. Now a 50% raise in any other "job" is astounding! Yes, she will be required to perform twice as much work for that SD. But it's not like she probably isn't fucking someone else (for free?) on those alternate weeks. Now she can monetize what were "free" BCD's plus she gets the potential for more frequent non-BCD benefits like dinners or other gifts.
But for most SB's all they will see in this offer is that she only gets $300 ppm when she was getting $400 before. And in her personal idea of SB value (sometimes called "hoe math") she just cannot allow herself to accept less, even when her gross revenue will increase.
I'm not saying a volume discount cannot be negotiated. But a skilled SD will probably want to focus on the monthly impact a lot more than the ppm rate to convince her to accept.
Have any of you ever successfully negotiated a volume discount? Give us the deets, Brother!
Life is good
