Off the clock can work for you
October 28 2011
Inevitably, all escorts face the dilemma of a client asking for the privilege of seeing them off the clock, as something more than "just another client." However, this is a slippery slope that, if not handled appropriately, can result in losing a client or losing income. There are two possible responses that can work to keep a client and keep an ongoing income stream, without sacrificing one's reputation or relationship with a client.
The first thing to consider is the client's motivation for asking for the special visits. Clients may feel they are falling in love with or have special feelings for their escorts. If a client is seeking a deeper connection with an escort, the situation may be one that is salvageable and can be moved into an arrangement beyond making weekly appointments where money is exchanged prior to services being rendered. However, if a client is simply hoping to acquire the same services without having to pay the price, an escort should never consider altering the arrangements. An escort should never consider seeing off the clock a client who wishes to change the relationship for his or her own financial benefit.
If the client is seeking a more fulfilling relationship with the escort, there may be an arrangement that can become mutually beneficial for both the escort and the client, if the client is financially capable. Many escorts negotiate an off-the-clock relationship with a client by letting the client know she has financial obligations that her escorting services help to support. She may divulge to the client about any debts or payments she has, including regular monthly bills. Situation explained, a client is expected to understand that in order for an escort to provide time to him off the clock, he must help to take care of her. Many clients offer to provide money for monthly bills, a new car, a place to live or other gifts or amenities that make an escort's time "off the clock" financially lucrative. In many cases, these relationships become mutually beneficial for the escort and the client.
Another important key to this type of a relationship with a client is to never make a promise of exclusivity. Some clients feel that if they begin to provide a place of residence or other significant, regular gifts, he deserves some exclusive privileges that others no longer have. It's important for an escort to let the client know (gently) that her other long-term clients help to support other aspects of her life and that she must continue to see them. Most clients understand these circumstances and agree to such a relationship.
However, if the client is seeking only a financial break for himself, an escort should let the client know that losing money from their appointments would leave her in financial hardship. A good escort should then explain to her client that she definitely prefers to spend time with him, but can't offer any time that isn't helping her to support herself.
The most essential thing to do is to consider how visits off the clock will affect one's bottom line. If the situation is not bettering you as an escort, it's a wise idea to shy away from changes.
