Here's a good way for the ladies to look at rates
Your pal Three-Part Mikey has had more than a few types of employment in my time. I tend to find the old "Rules of the Bench" work best.
1) Figure out how much money you need to make AND how much you want to make, since they are not always the same thing.
2) Always make the money you need first THEN worry the money you want.
3) Never forget you have competition for your clientel's business. Always approach your business as if you need to win them over all over again everytime your service them. Otherwise you will lose more business to your competion than you retain, at least half of which will never give you a second chance, and whose negative word of mouth may ultimately sink your business.
3) Let you "bench" dictate your prices.
A) if you have too little work on your bench to make the money you need, you lower your rates until you meet that goal.
B) if you have too much work on your "bench" RAISE YOUR RATES
1) people who value your quality and craftsmanship will pay for it.
2) if you fail to meet commitments, or can't provide realistic delivery dates, your custom service reputation suffers; raising your rates at reasonable intervals untill you hit your "how much I want to make" point of equalibrium weeds out customers who's objective is strictly pricepoint. An industrial manufacture can afford to chase pricepoint, an artisan and craftsman cannot.
3) treat all potential customers with respect; even if you think they are cheap bastards, they may be willing to mee your rate at a later date, so you shouldn't poison that well. You may need their business later.
The goal is to learn to manage the ebb and flow of the economy specific to a core customer base that is loyal and believes that your prices are reasonable and fair. If you deliver on service and quality, you can demand high fees and your core customers will GALDLY pay them. Provide niche or unique services they can get no where else on top of that and the sky is nearly the limit.
Take customers for granted, and you shouldn't be surprised when your "bench" is empty and your business folds. Fail to cultivate repeat business and you will reap what you sow.
And lastly, if you are not willing to negotiate or hagle, please make that clear up front, rather than expecting us to assume.
----------------------------------------------
And guys, if you think someone is too steep, simply don't patronize them. No need to argue against their reasoning for the rate they charge. Either they will come around to your pricepoint eventually, they are in the wrong biz and will eventually seek alternative employment, or they simply have a product you cannot afford. You may also find that they will be more receptive to your negotiations if you have at least patronized their services one at their stated rates. At least them they have to acknowledge that you do, in fact, know what you are talking about.

Two Different Reviewers for Tessa/Strawberrie
I did some research, and the two reviewers that posted about Strawberrie/Tessa are clearly not the same person. It's two different reviewers.
The first reviewer has posted eight times, twice in Orlando (Tessa and Tinaa), and the rest in Phoenix (Tender, Brook, Casey, Danielle, Julia, and Melaine).
He only gave one other escort the same performance score as he gave Tessa/Strawberrie (5-Average), and that was Tender from Phoenix. All the other escorts got higher ratings, not the type of guy that gives everyone a bad review.
The second one has posted 16 reviews, all from Orlando. Of all his reviews, he only gave one other escort the same score he gave Tessa/Strawberrie (4-Just Laid There), and to one other escort he gave a 2. All the other escorts had higher ratings, so he also is not the type to give negative ratings to everyone.
The first reviewer also had this to say:
We set up the time, on my way to her place she called me few times, asking me where am I, or how long will take to get there, which was aggravating because I was there on time. She said, that she is super busy, and there are many people are waiting, so she had to make sure that I am not late.
This is a well written review
[QUOTE=BankShot]I went to see her a week or so ago. It was my worst experience ever. I would not repeat if she were paying me.[/QUOTE]
Short, succinct and to the point.
Otwist, Clinton Bush and Vankleek
Otwist-not going anywhere sweetie. From here and staying here. Thanks for trying to give me bad rep. Not working. They call me famous because I am. For great service.
Clinton Bush-Not really nothing to say but that you don't know me and should try before judge. I have been plenty places and have not encountered you. So until then, speak and agree only with what you know.
Vankleek- I remember you very well and did alot of work to keep your soilder awake after along night of drinks. Kissing was allowed and you did plenty of that. I stopped you after awhile when your druncken breath became stomah turning. I did greek to the best abilty and was very vocal during the session. I do admit that greek is not my thing but I do do it well. That is just like saying that you don't like your job but you do it to your boss's satisfaction so you can stay aboard because you enjoy the money. Work is work and a job is a job. Also to correct you, I have never stated PSE in any of my postings. That is not greek but is other porn star experience. Which I know the other mongers here can figure that out. I stayed the whole hour without rush and gave you multipules so you can be satisfied. I did major cuddling and extra that was not charged just so you could explode. It is up to you but my safety is a must and what else you wanted I won't discuss on the board for your sanity.
And the pictures are the same just more ink. Same girl, same ride just more art. Instead of trying to fall over eachother on trying to make me look like a bad provider, take your phone and call to set up a session and find out for yourself what the truth is.
I'm calling out
Clinton Bush, Otwist, Vino7373, Warpfactor69 and Bankshot{for the real this time BS} Ima give all a real ride with me and you tell your travel agents how you felt. I won't even know who you are. Don't say your from the board. Just come
Happy hunting and happy endings
