Haggling

I own my own business and I hate it when people ask me to lower my rate and try and get me to negotiate. So when I see a provider, I always pay the requested rate because I know they hate this as well.

But, I never leave a tip. Why? Because no one has ever paid me extra in my line of work. My customers often will use my services again or recommend me, but I've never received a check with an extra payment on it. They always just pay the invoice amount. For the providers I like- I will see them again when she comes back to my area if I'm available, recommend her to others, and I will pay the requested rate without fuss.

well said PIPEFitter.........my "tip" when I saw you was the awesome attitude you had .....and you are one helluva fun guy too!!!

If a guy starts haggling with me,I just tell him to check the donation rates for girls like me with similar reputation & reviews...........that usually shuts them up...lol!

[Outdoorsman]

I do not stress over what other people do, I cannot control other peolple's actions or words. If a lady attempts to upsell (equating that with haggling) I just deicde not to see her again. I view it as her screw up. Anyone that has read my reviews knows I am a repeat client with lots of money and I will repeat my time and I do overnights. BUt I am very honest and tell the ladies up front if our time otgether is fun and we click I will more than likely up my time with her in the future - not today. But still soem ladies insist on upselling -their loss, IMHO just not good business. Same with hagglers if I were a pain in the ladies ass I pretty much decide that she will not attempt to work me into her schedule in the future, she will not work with my schedule as hard, you know the litle things that to me make all the difference in an absolutely fantastic eperience and just getting my rocks off. Just me.

{Bad baby..I will be in the Big d soon!!}


Alot of us reputable gals offer "incentives" to our really sweet regular clients...so all he had to do was be patient & become a regular!

[Snapper6057]

Everything is negotiable!

[Chellablaine]

Your right snapper, everything is negotiable. I also offer a discount along with the one you want and haggle me for. A discount on time, and you can do it yourself. Feel free to wash up in the sink too with the towel and rag the last guy used.

Do you tip your waiter or waitress? Barber? Don't get me wrong, I am not being critical, just curious.

Some are negotiable, but there are quality ladies here and are not used car, or appliance salespeople. This ain't Macy's! LOL!!!!

Well that's just dumb. How are you supposed to know? I hate when I see people doing that kind of thing. If you don't want a gent to ask, then be clear!

I find haggling distasteful and I don't do it. Sometimes, it just doesn't work.

Regardless of what you think the service is worth, that's what it costs with her. Its really simple to just choose someone else. I can't afford a DB9, so I drive a mainstream sedan. I'd like the DB9 for the price I paid for the sedan, but I'm not gonna call an Aston Martin dealer and offer that. LOL.That's the way to cookie crumbles.

Ditto. I run a professional business at my day job, and never would I entertain the idea of doing that work at a lower rate just b/c someone asked. Not gonna happen.

Makes perfect sense to me. I have seen ladies get offended when a guy doesn't tip them, and I think..."Dude, he paid your rate b/c its what you advertised. If you wanted more or 'extra', why didn't you just increase your rate?"

[DallasRain]

I just dont like the "first response from a new guy" to be a haggling comment!
Or when i travel I dont like to be haggled...
I dont raise my rates when i travel,so therefore i am USUALLY already the lowest priced gal around!

I do offer incentives to regular clients though!

[Miss J]

LMAO!

[Sjtiger1]

It takes 2 to haggle. Just say "the rate is the rate" and be done with the guy.

Guess what ladies. You'll always get someone trying to get a lower rate. You'll always get someone showing up drunk. You'll always get a disrespectful phone call. You'll always get emails that go nowhere. (I'm sure you can add to the list....) Seems like that's the cost of doing business!

Don't get offended! Just play the game and keep raking in the cash!

[heidilynnla]

Oh, tiger, we will. And congrats for outing yourself as nobody was the subject of this thread!

More power to you for getting that quality cheap stuff.
