Its hard to plan ahead for some stuff. I used to offer specials because my availability was so limited I wanted to make sure I was busy when I was actually available. Sometimes I would offer them for a while because I had something like a car repair come up or christmas was around the corner. I notice a lot of people offering specials when it's the slow season. Not enough money to go around.
I think most people avoid it because the type of client it brings in is cheap, not loyal and sometimes rough around the edges to downright disgusting.
I dont offer specials now but I like being out of the price range of the really scuzzy people. Your best bet is to meet a girl you like and work out a deal after seeing her a few times.
I'm more inclined to give a good client a deal and am quick to tell some cheap f*ck to kick rocks.
We know cheap clients aren't loyal and they always start out by insulting us, basically telling us they don't think we're worth the rate we're asking for and we know we're not even getting a tip.
If you see a girl you like and she frequently offers specials, im sure she would give you the "special" rate all the time since she would see you as a sure thing and can count on your money regularly. That's all she wants is consistent income. Shes already offering several people the same rate on a consistent basis because she can always go lower in price but she can never go higher. Once you get someone in at a "special" rate, they never pay more. When she's not offering the special she just doesn't want to deal with those people anymore. She's looking for higher quality clients. She's full up on cheap regulars.
Its cheaper to maintain you as a client than perpetually get new clients so she'll see the value in not having to advertise to get you.
Lots of guys try to weasel their way into some special rate on the promise of repeat business but they're full of it. You'd have to show the person your asking that you're a regular and would see her frequently.
Cheap clients are a dime a dozen, but ultimately we're all looking for someone who is going to treat us right and pay more so even if you do get the discounted rate, you're not necessarily a priority. Someone who pays more will always come first, so try to be flexible and accommodating and she'll probably always give you a good rate.
I hate when cheap clients get demanding and expect to come first over someone paying double, triple or more than what theyre paying. It's ridiculous. Don't be THAT guy and someone will treat you right for as long as you'll be a gentleman to them.
