I'm not making any demands, encouraging low-balling/price haggling but rather throwing an idea out there in order to get feedback.
While chatting in 2017 with a provider ($500/hr, $650/90) I saw only once in 2016, I brought up a request and she sort of whined at me "but you don't see me regularly". In my head I was like I thought that at the price things have to be near perfect for a busy selective guy like myself. This also includes the ignoring on my part of lower priced, similarly equal quality providers.
We all can do the math "Ok, she's received $650 from me in 12 months".
Technology has moved us into this culture of online subscriptions and oddly enough her and other providers are on Onlyfans expressing appreciation for tips and subscriptions of less than 20 freaking bucks. (Before a smart-ass provider jumps in to defend, I get it already - you're in it for the volume).
I'm not questioning anyone's pricing but what if, between a provider and hobbiest a system was set up to where there's a promise to meet up - let's say 3+ times a month at a certain price but for a certain amount of months.
So if you're a $1,000/hr provider (locally), instead of waiting every bonus period and praying a favorite gent will see you, why not get into a promissory agreement to see each other 3 times a month at $350 per session? For the hi priced provider, you're now competing with the low end competition. If you want to spread it out or select certain months you can do that also. He can at the beginning of the month put the whole deposit down (again, this is where trust comes in) and set up 3 visits.
So as an example, let's say he only CONSIDERS seeing you after quarterly bonuses. Let's say you get two of them - $2,000. That's all you make from him in a year. At the suggested method with price given let's say he gets a 4 month subscription - $3800. Of course there are women who'd laugh at this $1800 increase but try and look a little deeper. It would mean a bit more if the gent was ATF material based on likability.
I'm not going to lie, it will be a bit tough to pull off. I see no issue in it from my end.
