Interesting coincidence - Heather
I had lunch with Heather today as I hadn't seen her recently. I passed along the buzz from here that her reputation was suffering due to her recent lack of reliability. She seemed genuinely mortified and asked my opinion about how she could improve her image. I suggested she offer a little "special" to make things right with her potential clients and existing friends. She was enthusiastic about that idea. I'm not her pimp but I offered to pass along the info to you guys on her behalf. Just for the next three days 70/100/150. She's a great girl that just needed an attitude adjustment.
Below is Heather after lunch.
Hope it helps guys.

Reliability is her issue, not cost
Tbat's a generous offer and a commendable effort to inform Heather of her issues. It escapes me how lowering her rate solves her reliability problem. Cost was never the issue and it's just as easy, perhaps easier, to not keep an appointment at $150 than her normal $180 rate. Healing her reputation is rather simple: honor your commitments, communicate with your clients, don't leave guys hanging on dead air at the last minute, make good on cancellations, and word will get out. I'll also point out that the "three day special" timing sucks. It's announced on a Thursday afternoon and falls on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Maybe a few guys can act quickly for a Friday appointment, but how many guys actively "hobby" on the weekend, especially Sunday for those with significant others? And won't she give priority on her regulars anyway? Again, nice gesture, well intentioned, but seriously flawed IMHO. It doesn't motivate me to try to see her again. That ship has sailed. I will however, give her the benefit of the doubt and not comment about her again.
It's not my intention to be argumentative but merely to point out why it fails to address the issue.
