I just make whatever comes to mind at first. Sometimes it's more velociraptor.
In all seriousness, though, because we're all independent everyone has their own prices for things. And in some instances, there are times when managers will express concern over lowball amount parties (especially several in a row) but that more so correlates to what's on the ticket in terms of time spent and such and if you have a history of usually booking higher amounts. (In my experience it's more of an overall concern thing. Like "why are you now settling for so low? what are you doing for that amount for all that time?" but I'm also sure there are managers who are more concerned about the money itself and will express issue over that aspect of it.) While I know there are brothels where they do have mandatory minimums for prices a girl must go off of for her menu options, that's not the case with the Hof houses as far as I'm aware (at least not at the Southern ones). However, I don't know many working girls who don't want to at least get enough from the party to where their R&B for the day is free and I am aware that number does vary from house to house (I'm almost positive it's much, much lower down South than up North) - especially if it's been a slower time of year traffic-wise so one isn't sure if there's going to be someone else coming by that day if they don't have other appointments set.
So if one girl just won't budge on her prices, even if you previously booked with her for different amounts before, it may just be an opportunity to check out another girl to get to know and see if there's other connections to be made where you can get what you want for what you're comfortable paying with no games played and no hassle. I'm all about offering deals for repeats and regulars, with the exact kind of deal varying depending on what they're looking to do. And of course I run specials just to get new people in, too. Most of my good deals are for people wanting to be regulars, rather than first timers/one shots.
But I am also honest in that depending on the current situation going on in the house itself as well as the fact I am someone who travels in from out of state from pretty far away so my investment to come out and do this is higher than those who are local or even those from another state but can just drive a few hours to come in rather than have to book airfare and such. And that is just based on simple economical mathematics - at the end of my stays I want to be able to go home with something in my pocket more than just breaking even between the investment to first come out, weekly expenses (doctor visit), and having to pay the daily R&B if there were days where I didn't book or book enough to get it covered. Not "ballin'" or anything, just something to kind of show like "yeah it was worth the trip as I now have some money dollars to take care of stuff I need it for". If all I do is break even, or worse, wind up having to owe anything when I have to leave, it would make me discouraged from making these trips again even if there are interested people still wanting to book with me. As I come out here to do this as a job and the money I get I do actually need for things that are serious. Not so I have my own spending money to spoil myself with or whatever. Just like clients coming out also need money to pay their bills at home and don't want to be drained dry and have that worry.
You just essentially need to set your budget in your head before even walking in the door. The max amount you're willing to spend. Log it in your phone if you need to in case you feel tempted to go over but there'd be consequences if you do. But also have realistic expectations in terms of amount of time and types of activities you want to book for when it comes to your party. The houses take half, and I don't know too many willing to do all kinds of crazy stuff for even just an hour for under 1k and definitely not more than an hour. Simple and easy then yeah you could get away with an hour and under for less, especially if you're respectful, and put out good energy that makes it easier to make a connection with the lady you're negotiating with. Just stick to your guns and be up front with your max. "I cannot spend more than X at this time. Here's what I'd like. Now what are you able and willing to do for that amount of money and time I said? Could we work it out?" Bam. I prefer customers who are up front with their budgets rather than just strut in and say what they want to do and wait for me to say the money part (and sometimes get in a huff when I throw out a number and decide to either talk to someone else or just leave rather than convince me why I should go to what they want to spend as they didn't give me any budget to go off of in the first place).
Best of luck for your future excursions!
