Why I Ask for Deposits

in #teamaustralia6 years ago

I’m so effing excited to be back providing full service bookings. When you look at my ad, you’ll notice that I’m restricted to a few days a week though, so pre-booking is a must to make sure we have some time together. I’m working hard on my novel and most of my time is taken up with that and a few other things I have going. With enough notice though, I can make special occasions work – just give me plenty of notice.

I’ve got my ad up in a few places, trying to see what works the best at the moment. My main source for bookings in the past was cracker, but with that now having been taking down, I’m experimenting to see what’s best for me and my clients. Here are all of my current ads:

Scarlet Blue

Escorts and Babes

Crocker

Now, the main reason I wanted to make this post – to talk about the big pink elephant in the room: my new no nonsense deposit policy. I understand that amongst clients this can be a deal breaker. But I’m willing to lose some of those clients because over the last few years, cancellations and no shows have become incredibly frustrating for me. So I wanted to go over some of the concerns that some of you may have when it comes to deposits.

I’ve been burned by another sex worker, she stole my money!: This sucks. And I’m so sorry that you’ve had that experience. It wouldn’t be pleasant and I can understand why you’d be hesitant to give me your hard earned cash. Especially if you’ve never visited with me before. My response though, is that you should know I’ve been in the industry for many years, and I’m not going to take your money and do a runner. In addition to this, I’ve priced my deposit incredibly low – just $50 for any booking type or length.

I’m worried about my anonymity if I give you a deposit: This may seem incredibly harsh for you to read, but I feel very strongly about this point in particular. I. DONT. GIVE. A. SHIT. WHO. YOU. ARE.* I have no interest in finding out your real name, your real life, your job etc. I have no use for any of that information other than getting to know you better. I’m not going to stalk you, harass you or out you to your family. Just as I expect my privacy to be respected, I will always respect yours in the same way. Your secrets are safe with me. I’ve got around 5 different ways for you to give me a deposit. All of them ensure your anonymity.

But what if you cancel and I’m not available for again for a while? Things happen, and I will cancel on a client if I have to. I’m not even going to pretend that I’ve never had to cancel on someone. Of course I have, I’m a human being with a life. Whilst I’ll make absolutely every effort to make our booking – if I can’t, I wont. And you will always get at least a days notice. In the past I’ve only cancelled when I’m sick, or a family member is sick – so I’ll know at the latest the morning of our booking. No matter how much notice I give you though, I will refund you via cash transfer or whatever method you want. Shit, I’ll even meet you in a park and give you your money back. But you will get your money back.

But what if I have to cancel? Again, I get it. We are human beings. Everything I wrote above about me cancelling also applies to you. If you give me at least 6 hours notice, I can either reschedule for you or refund you your deposit. Simple.

I hope this has helped to explain my stance on deposits and why they’re essential to my business model. If you have any questions at all that you’d like me to address, please let me know.

*Okay, so there are a few exceptions to this rule. Gene Simmons for example. He makes me want to vomit a bit.
