One of the most interesting threads of the year.
I have sold products and services for 10 to 15 years now and while many customers questioned my pricing in the early days I have now developed a small client base that does not go bargain hunting. Granted over the last 3 fiscal quarters I've had to tighten my belt as others tighten theirs and I have over looked some invoicing for smaller (15 minute) jobs.
Of course you're always going to get the people that want it cheaper and there is a place for these people. I don't tend to deal with these people but, Jolee, maybe if someone wants a bargain you could book them in off peak hours and have a blow up doll waiting for them when the arrive. You could even go so far as to let them watch you masturbate while they bang the blow up doll...no maybe just set up a porno for them.
As far as discounts I think this can be something that is unadvertised and left up to the girl's discretion. You know who your regulars are and who books often and who doesn't. I think you can come up with your own little way of rewarding them. The trick is to give the client the allusion of getting more for their money.

Great advice Stalker. "Sales is sales"... regardless of the product or service. It's all about the customer feeling like they got value for their money...

Hey Jolee
You are absolutely correct on this issue. Despite the comments that it should be " okay to ask for a deal " comments.
I suppose these guys ask for a deal everywhere they go. Anybody who comes already knowing the price and then tries to barter is a PUTZ plus stupid.
Oh sure, you can ask, but what do you figure the results of that request will be. Talk about asking for a degraded session. It would be like asking for a discount of a menu in a restaurant. Why not just tell them your trouble, now get my food. Smart move.
It's always a good idea to tell someone their not worth it before using their service.....NOT
So Jolee remember your the one who sets the price. Your also a very classy lady and worth every bit your rate. I thought that some of the answers were a little condasending and insulting. But of course everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just felt like defending you on this issue. The morons that ask for deal are the one who aren't worth the price. Talk about a low class plan, to show up and then try to cheap out......geez
Why not tell the restaurant staff that you think their all not worth the wages they get paid. I hope you like lots of spit in your food.
Some people go around treating service folks like crap and wonder why the service sucks. Some people are just plain stupid is why.
Most smart people realize that being nice to someone who is about to give a service to you makes good sense
It never ceases to amaze me at how some people just use and treat disrepectfully anyone they feel should be serving them.

Also some guys seem to think that they are only dealing with a "SP" ( service provider ) A rather cold term in itself.
What they seem to over look is that they are also dealing with a WOMAN.
A woman who is offering her most personal self to you in order to make a living. To tell her by way of asking for a deal on her body that you don't think she's worth it....... well you do the math guys.
These SP's are also woman too. With feeling and self worth. They have set what they feel they are worth, and then you come along telling her, " no not worth it " good luck !!!!
They are not just bodies for hire like a tool at the Home Depot. Even the Home Depot has SET RATES that they don't barter on.
Remember these ladies are humans as well as SP's. This is a personal service, not a car deal down at the auto mall.

And that means what ?alphanig said:
Well if that post is too much for your Manhood to handle, go do some bargain hunting
Is your real name stupid or do you just play it on TV
Jolee,
I agree with you and appreciate your courage for posting this.
Haggling is, unfortunately, an all too frequent occurrence - but, I try to take it with a grain of salt, i.e. giggling to myself, thinking of how this cheapness resonates in his civilian life. Imagine him on a date: "Do you mind only ordering only the french fries, the duck is kinda too much for my budget...hey, maybe we can split them, too."
Have pity for the poor creature, because the cash he is willing to dole out probably won't even buy him a HJ on the stroll.

I am one who likes to haggle, but I haggle over objects. When I go to buy a car, furniture etc. When I want a service I get a couple of estimates, but I do not haggle over their price. If you see that a provider is too high for your liking then go to a cheaper one.....BUT remember 1 thing....you GET what you PAY for.
Now having said that, there are providers in my area that are offering "specials" because they are feeling the pinch of the economy; this should be the SP's choice, respect their price & move on if you don't like it.

Stash it needs to be noted there are deep discounts for multi da tool rentals.
Let's face it, if someone is comfortable enough to set rates or follow rates set by others, they should also have the courage to stick to the rate! Because someone asks doesn't mean hey are being insulting or hurtful.
Taken with a grain of salt...

I hate to Haggle but ...
Am I sticking my neck out ... or some other part to be bashed ?
I once asked an Escort, on the phone, what her rates were. She quoted me her 1/2 and hour rates. I enquired if she had a discount for 2 hours. After a pause, as if no-one had ever asked before about 2 hours ... or discounts, she said, "you’re cheap!" We didn't connect.
Another, similar situation, I was told, "sorry ... no discounts." I have seen her several times, one hour each.
Still another similar situation, I was immediately told the discount. I later tipped this lovely lady the difference. Her response was to tell me I was "generous".
I had not changed. It’s just a question !
Why and How, the question is Asked and Answered reveals alot about both parties.
Usually, when service is posted or discussed, only to find, mid-session that they are optional extra$.
Up-selling.
That is one of the reasons why I hate MPs.
One month later, I more than returned the surprise, with Flowers in a Cristal Vase, for Her birthday.
Jolee, we have never had the pleasure.
Although, I have tried and tried.
You cancelled our one and only date.
You were so generous to offer to see me on your day off, but my schedule would not allow it.
Then, you retired.
You are a Rare Gem.
Then, you returned.
Alas, I had discovered another Rare Gem.
And so, have never met.

One fine day, after a pleasant interlude, with a MPA, I was surprised when half the tip was returned with the comment, "Happy Birthday!"Jolee said:

Rates overall even from late 90,s have actully went down. The fact you are getting way more menu for your $$$.
Is the student Id from Mac?
Do you bleed Maroon and white?
I'm embarassed as a hobbyist that some of you guys are so cheap.
Do you negotiate your taxes? Do you negoiate the price of your groceries? Do you negotiate the price of your beer?
You know their rates up front... if they're that too high for you budget... go back out to the street.
The only time I negotiate is when additional services are added after the session has started.
The basic "entry" price is set based on the ladies needs. Respect her business and personal decision.
