It’s been talked about many times, rates have gone significantly up in the past few years (covid and post covid). How can I keep dipping my stick without going broke? you asked.
Many of my peers will tell you, building relationships and being a returning client will get you there
Nothing is promised but from experience, people tend to be nicer and more accommodating with loyal people
In my personal life, I’m a client in a business that I use almost weekly. They know me well there, they see me walking in and great me by my nickname. I am considered a good client, I buy from them on a regular basis, I am respectful and always on time. They have started to offer me discounts and even sometimes employee discounts. Would they do that to the person that goes to their store once ever 6 months? Probably not
Now I know what you’re going to say “But I want variety” that’s fair, that’s probably why you’re seeing SWs in the first place. Nothing stops you from alternating and doing New girl — Regular — New girl — New girl — Regular
As long as there’s some sort of mutual trust, respect and some kind of regular encounters I think you’d be ok.
Now this might not work with everyone but I have heard from friends about the arrangements they have with some clients and the “rates are way too high now” crowd would be jealous
