A Decline in the economy should NOT result in lowering your standards or anything else for that matter!

Escorts, in response to the declining economy, are reducing their prices, giving “menu items” away “freebies” so to speak, making deals, offering specials and worst of all performing acts that would normally cost more for a reduced rate.
That’s a problem! Why?
For many reasons.
- Doing this only devalues the product /service that you are offering and what is the service you are offering…YOU! That’s right. You are selling yourself (excuse the pun) short. And what? Afterwords…you are going to demand your value back? Yea right! What client is going to pay more when he/she has had it at it’s cheapest value? You can forget ever going back to your customary pricing or standards by which you had hoped you built for yourself.
- The clients you are attracting are going to change. If you preferred a better standard of client that respected you and took you and your “business” seriously those days will be over. The clients you attract now will be expecting more for less and if you dropped your prices once what’s to stop you from going even lower….they know you are desperate now.
- The ripple effects from this practice will not only negatively impact you now but will carry over into the future for you and the industry. You will fall into a category or social level that you don’t want to be in and your reputation will precede you for years to come.
- Health risks!! Need I say more? I hope not. The health risks associated with doing things you would not normally do are astronomical. Don’t do it. It’s not worth it!
Another “not so smart” practice going on out there these days is accepting anything other than cash as payment. This is not safe and carries it’s own set of risks that you don’t even want to think about. Don’t go there! Having clients pay your bills, pay by check, run to the ATM afterward, or any of the other excuses other than CASH UP FRONT is just plain STUPID!
