What single factor makes an SP relevant in today's competitive market?

[demien2k5]

What do people think is the single most important factor affecting an escort's ability to remain highly relevant as hobbyists' preferred provider of choice in today's highly competitive market? What single thing most affects your decision to book a lady, whether you're just considering a booking, actually meeting her for the first time, or she's a regular 'go to girl'.

Her physical attractiveness? (Degree of Facial and Physical beauty)
Breadth of available services? (Wide variety of sexual services provided i.e SGFE, GFE, Full GFE, True GFE, PSE)
Personality? (How attractive she is on an interpersonal level i.e. funny, charming, intelligent, informed, etc.)
Service Quality? (Consistently high degree of service quality, delivered over time)
Competitive Pricing? (Degree of price competitiveness compared to others offering similar services)
Presence on Social Media? (Amount of time she spends in online discourse, publishing updates/pro photos/recent selfies, and/or interacting with clients/potential clients on ERB's, txt messaging, twitter, etc.)
Availability / Convenience? (How easy it is to contact her, get an apt. at your preferred time, get to her location)
Reliability? (Degree of dependability - doesn't cancel, reschedule, delay/bump sessions, delivers full sessions based on time booked i.e. book an hour, get a full hour)

I know many will say it's a complex combination of all of the above, but for the purposes of this poll, let's assume there is only one that affects your decision making THE MOST. Which unique attribute above is likely to have the single biggest impact on an SP's ability to stay top of mind and tip of tongue when hobbyists are considering booking a session(s)?

Well, of course it IS a complex combination of many of the things on your list. For me though, I think the most important one is her personality. I need to make that personal connection, truly like her and enjoy my time with her, then I'm a steady customer. Otherwise I would give her a try, then keep on going to the next one on the list.

IMO...service quality...HANDS DOWN..
Reliability is obviusly important but the rest is a distant 3rd
Looks
What she offers are of no consequence to me...im looking to experience her and what she offers..whatver it is!
She can be the hottest looker out there...but if her service sucks(and not in a good way)..I m not interested

 

[demien2k5]

I'm kinda' the same way. There is beauty in every woman, but not every woman knows how to use her femininity to excite and entertain a man. You could be Kate Upton, but if you can't deliver the fantasy, the dream is dead.

Bullets 2, 3 and 4 on the list were truly 1.a 1.b and 1.c for me.

Since we have to choose one I decided to select Service Quality as there are a couple of SP's that I visit whose personalities aren't top quality like others, but I still visit due to great service.

The results of this poll should be interesting given the amount of passionate discussion on here of late related to price, incall locations (DT vs. Airport vs. Markham), and reliability of some of the city's agencies and touring indy's.

Of course there are factors the raise one SP over another but unless the girl is physically attractive - every factor from #2 to #8 are moot.

Eg: She's butt ugly with hairy man legs and chin stubble ..but boy what great service !!! or .. is she cheap !!! or .. what a nice personality !!!

For me there is no evaluation unless she is attractive - absolutely the number one factor.

 

[dragnbiz]

ALL are important factors to me except for the social media one. If any one of those are lacking then it impacts my desire to see her. Of course it won't be a 10 for every factor so it's having enough of each one that matters.

this. None of those factors by itself will allow an SP to thrive, but she would need to offer each (including some social media presence) to do well.

They're all important, but her personality is what usually catches my attention and makes her distinct from the others in a crowded market.

Hmm. I figure that few ladies enter the game if they aren't fairly attractive to begin with. Some will be considered more attractive than others depending on guys' personal tastes and perspectives, but I've seen ladies reviewed who are not considered among the MOST attractive (rated 6-7 in looks/body) but who still garner consistently positive reviews, and appear to have very solid legions of admirers and long time satisfied Customers. This being the case, not sure I'd agree #2-#8 are entirely moot, but can see how some would weight less heavily if an SP's look isn't to their tastes to begin with.

What's that matchmaker chick on TV always saying? 'The penis picks, cause the penis wants what it wants...' LOL!

As I watch the results of this poll unfold, I can't help but wonder if newer indy girls and agencies might take notice and either seek out more experienced and successful ladies to deliver some basic coaching on how to entertain a man, as opposed to just fuck him.

It's been my experience, particularly with younger women in the game, that few have had more than the basic training, coaching, or mentoring on the many nuances of how to deliver an awesome session (as opposed to just an ok session), and many try to go it alone putting the 'game on the line' as it were, based solely on hot looks. Yet I read many reviews where guys were less than satisfied because the more elegant, courtesan type skills/attitudes were missing from their experience with an otherwise stunning looking woman which left them underwhelmed, if not downright disappointed.

I've often felt that having some serious coaching would drive up success and satisfaction rates on both sides of the SP equation. Not sure how pragmatic a concept it is, but I do wonder about these things none the less...

Be careful, head down that path and before you know it, you're a pimp.


I'm not sure if you're serious, but I'll bet you've already discussed this with some ladies. I'll also wager that you'll get a few PMs from this thread/post.

Nah. Really just thinking out loud to be honest. Haven't discussed this with anyone so far. I'm also curious as to the low numbers so far re: social media. Guys seem to LOVE an SP that posts and flirts online here on the boards, and it seems that some ladies have a gazillion followers on their twitter feeds. Clearly that sort of presence is driving up the attention and desire factors, yet is it all for naught if, based on the poll results, other things are deemed much more important towards making them relevant as a hobbyist's booking option? Could they save lots of time by bypassing the social media channel and simply honing their look or service delivery talents?

All relevant points, But one very important factor for me. Would be her expertise, in the art of seduction.
Only one sp. has been able to satisfy, that sweet spot in me.

 

[Aardvark154]

Is there a single factor?

All of the above are important, perhaps the least important is "Presence on Social Media," but for me all of them are important.

 

[Vermeer27]

Honestly I would say it's looks. But the truly gorgeous model/actress sp's (don't kid yourself, they are out there) don't tend to advertise in a traditional way. In fact they may not consider themselves sp's in the conventional sense, but they are still offering companionship for money or gifts, only with a limited clientele. Even the 300/400$ sps that advertise on Eros are almost never reviewed. At the stage that you are on the radar on Terb, I think it becomes a service/price equation, with looks being less of a factor. Frankly I find the looks of sp's usually overstated in reviews on this site.

In other words, the results of this poll say more about the membership of Terb, than the sp marketplace at large.
