30/60/90 minutes

[Pwyll]

It seems that with most providers rates funnel users to the

60 minute session.

With rates for 30/60/90 minutes that are for instance $150/200/300.

Seems the 60 minute session is a favorite for both

Guys and girls.

I wonder why. Any thoughts?

i'd guess that an hour is kind of a round number for people to deal with on both ends of the transaction here. also, it's easier for a guy to disappear with a plausible explanation for 60 minutes. for the gals, maybe it makes scheduling go better.

Limited math skills

Nice round numbers.

ANOTHER fucking rate thread???

ANOTHER fucking rate thread???

Well, we have a rate thread about once per week, why so indignant?

Besides, it's not really about rates per se, as much as about how the women structure their appointments. Get over it.

nothing magic or unique about the 30/60/90 timeframes.

you get a "legit" massage, it's gonna be 30 minutes or 60 minutes.

Physical therapy appt. are often based on 30 or 60 minute sessions.

Same as when you visit your shrink.

That aside,I find the 60 minute session to be perfect. 30 minutes is short. . . . . "wham/bam". that can be fun but it can feel rushed. An hour is much more comfortable.

30 min - pop once

60 min - pop twice

90 min - pop twice with chatting, or possibly pop thrice

Young whippersnapper!

Ahhh......those were the days........

And yet another person saying "another rate thread." Just fly right over these av8r. No worries.

As to the question...I don't know why the hour is preferred, but it might just be the perfect denomination of time to get the job done, but not overstay the welcome.

[macho]

I don't get either all I need is seconds really.

ANOTHER fucking rate thread???

ANOTHER fucking (predictable response to a) rate thread

just in from the department of redundancy department:

wtf else does anyone have to really bitch about except service and rates around here?

I always prefer at least 2 hour sessions for many reasons. Nut to the point, why would anyone think rates based on time are unusual. Lawyers, psychologists, accountants, plumbers, and many, many other professions use the hour as the starting time frame. In my career, we have used increments of 6 minutes, 10 minutes and 15 minutes to bill our clients. The 6 minute increment was when I was with a very large company that you charged for every second; the 10 minute increment was when I started my own business; the 15 minute increment was instituted when I got tired of trying to account for every 10 minutes. Now I just value bill.

Maybe that would be a good idea for the ladies. Value billing. If the client is a true gentleman and threats the lady with respect and dignity and satisfies her needs, he is billed less. The guy that is a real peckerhead and a pain to deal with. Double his rates. If a client is a real prick to me, I either fire them or keep raising their rates so the go somewhere else. Sometimes that works other times they will just pay the increased charge. Is that considered upselling?

I prefer the lazy 2 hour sessions. The passionate, first round release of built up tensions.......the cuddling and pillow talk........the more relaxed and deliberate 2nd round.

Agreed!

The 30min WBTM are a quick release, fun, and yes - rushed.

And 90+ is ideal for multi-player fun.

value billing instead of by time doesn't sound like an upsell to me alf, although it's an interesting concept for the escorting biz. just curious, but does your biz publicly advertise rates and service offerings alongside those of your competitors? is there a public forum for your clients to rant and rave about rates among themselves? do your clients openly review your performance and compare notes about your service/price?

if it does, then good luck with that. i think it would signal the death knell for providers here. the horde of douche bags would be paying out the nose and the small band of white night ass-kissers like me would get to skate by paying a benjamin an hour to the ladies. and why shouldn't the d.b. legion pay the freight around here anyway?

say . . . that don't sound half bad! i vote that all providers here immediately switch to value billing! PM me if interested.

Well, this topic is kinda hijacking the thread. I would love to see a thread on the subject of value billing, a public CLIENT rating system similar to what the ladies have, and what kind of ratings are required to get what kind of special treatment. I would love to get honest feedback from everyone I see. 2 problems: 1) that just ain't the way it works. 2) even if it was.....the ladies wouldn't touch that thread with a 10 foot pole.

So, laboriously dragging this back to the original topic......I notice the ladies haven't reached for their 10 foot poles on this thread, either. A typical pricing scheme these days is 1 hour for 250-300, 2 hours for 400-500. That means that two 2-hour sessions will bring in 200 less a day than four 1-hour sessions. Do the providers have a preference? From a strict "capital utilization" business model, the four 1-hour sessions would make the most sense.

as long as we're into Econ 101 esoterica, i'm waiting for some brave soul to float s thtresf on alternatives to hourly pricing models: value pricing, frequent flyer discounts, retainers, etc.

I have see both frequent flyer discounts and retainers (sd/sb) in the Denver market. FFD are usually mentioned on an ASP's website. Retainers are a matter of personal conversation.
