One strategy behind shopping the sale
[QUOTE=RegularJoe1985;4489145]Her rates have gone from 220 to 200 to 240 or so.
However, with no deep kissing, just lips, and only a CBJ (No BBBJ), its very hard for me to recommend her.
She's genuine, no flake. Sometimes overbooks.
I'd repeat if not for those restrictions. But if you are okay with her restrictions then it should be okay.[/QUOTE]Whenever I spot a provider who offers a reduction in their regular rate, it tells me that they have enough business sense to make adjustments when market conditions change. One good example is Lara Rose, who regularly advertised at 300-400 per hour but would run specials when things were slow.
One strategy for "shopping the sale" is to (hopefully) leverage that session to get similar pricing in the future. Going back to the Lara Rose example, my first visit was 180 for 45 minutes of full GFE. After that, whenever I saw her advertising in my area, I'd call and remind her of our previous session and ask if that price was still available for me. If she was super busy she'd politely decline and I'd laugh and say "maybe next time" and leave things on a positive note. But several times she accepted and I jumped at the chance to see her again.
As always, YMMV depending on the provider and your own ability to establish good rapport. But, at the very least, "sale shopping" gives you the chance to sample the goods to see if you even have any interest in a future session. And, at best, it gives you a chance to establish a new baseline price between you and that particular provider. But it only has a chance of working, IME, with women who don't have GPS and are willing to adjust to the market. And it works best for clients who use a low key approach that doesn't make the woman feel like you're lowballing her.
Again, since I haven't personally seen Michelle, I don't know for sure if any of the above applies. But, when she drops her rate from 240-250 to 180 per hr, then it might be worth it for some monger who's been wanting to try her anyway. I haven't checked her ad since my earlier post so it's possible the "sale price" has expired. If that's the case then the lesson there is the importance of acting quickly when opportunity presents itself.
Preferred 411, useful or not? [URL]Preferred.com[/URL]
For several years I was a member of P411. I gave up my membership a year ago after changes to the US law made the site less useful than it had been.
I would be interested to hear from P411 members. Has it improved in the last year? Do you think it is worth the 150 annual fee?
What is your experience with P411.
