Posts: 1903Time to double-down on situation assessment and soft negotiation skills

Hard negotiating will almost always get a negative response but, if you can accurately assess which kind of provider you're dealing with, a softer approach might do the trick. For example, if the ad website doesn't list prices, you can politely say that her rates are more that you're able to handle right now and apologize for taking up her time. You can also lay the blame on the absence of BP and the oThER site and she'll probably agree with you on that. At that point, if she's in the mood to deal she will probably make you an offer, which you can decide to accept or respectfully reject. Also, before hanging up I often tell the provider that I'm sure she's worth every penny but then ask her to let me know if she ever offers any kind of special. That gives her one last opportunity to make an offer.
FWIW, some ladies come right out of the gate with a lower price. I saw one (not in VA) who was asking 400 on Eros but offered me 125/250 without my even asking.

Posts: 99FW KSpa
Franconia Wellness is one of several KSpas within about a mile of each other (close proximity to the DMV Office in Franconia).
It is kept in good condition by management. The studios are a bit small, but clean. Good TS area.
I was a walk-in last week. Greeted by MMS (cautiously welcoming); collected house fee (. 8/ hr) and told me to undress (towel in plain site for my modesty of course).
Joy, an attractive in that Nova Kgirl manner ("spinner-ish") arrived after about 5 minutes. She was pleasant, and took me to the TS where all was cleaned (nice TS if not great).
Back to studio for massagi. Not bad (not great) - but a nice "Thai / Swedish" combo massage.
First visit (and I was a walkin) -- so, average enjoyable finish. Standard tip + . 1 (perhaps better treatment awaits).
NR.

Posts: 413I think now is the time for Monger Reform. Where now we have an opportunity to collectively to stop paying outrageous prices. I know this sounds like a pipe dream and to resist the urge in the moment to fold and pay an upsell won't hold We have to try though. The CL / BP shut down was a blessing in disguise to destroy and rebuild.

Posts: 106We're back!
Wow. That was a bit of a dry spell. So where are all the places advertising now? I was curious how the lack of BP and CL would impact business. I tried searching for a few of the numbers I had but no dice. Any casualties that anyone knows of?

I found that some of my favorite local indies are advertising here:
https://www.massageanywhere.com
It's mostly legit, but you should recognize some pretty faces on there.

The ones who are probably doing ok are those who had a reputation for great customer service and cultivated a good base of repeat customers (ex. Thai KK, Tara, etc.) while those who relied on a constant churn of new clients are probably not doing as well.

Posts: 1243Some of the ads are dubious at best
Yes, the Internet has a history but one has to wonder if some providers simply moved on. We'll have to see who's still active and who isn't.
Time and money have been in short supply for me recently, but out of curiosity I perused some of the ad boards still available. Many of those ads are dubious at best, even more dubious than the Asian crapshoot ads which dominated Backpage the last couple of years. On one site I also found some ads for providers who had supposedly retired. So this will definitely be an interesting season.
