Moral of the story is some Ladies are pressured into charging higher prices for various reasons whether personal (they have some high bills to pay and they feel pressured to doing it fast) or from someone in authority. I can speak from personal experience with someone in management frequently going through my numbers every time I'd go "off model" with a price for a party - regardless of the party, and try to guilt me about it. (Doesn't work on me, but I know it can on others.) I'm glad to be out of that environment and working someplace with more professionalism and discretion.
It's also luck of the draw. At one house perhaps the Ladies that are your specific types may be charging more than your budget allows while Ladies who may not be your type are well within your range - then it depends on you if you want to go outside your "type" or not. Perhaps it could be some encouragement to broaden your horizons if your "type" of Lady seems "overpriced" when you go places.
I quote absurdly high prices only if the guy is a real asshole and handling him is going to be a lot of work. If they go for it - joke's on them and I get compensated for the extra mental/emotional labor of putting up with them during the party. Genuinely nice, respectful guys get much more favorable rates. The same likely could be said for most Ladies. Don't want to pay the Asshole Tax - don't be an asshole.
I don't think a lady should ever be put on a guilt trip based on her prices. I know some houses like a variety of prices for a lady like 2 $500 parties, $1000 etc. I had one lady tell me she was not comfortable doing that which is why she left for a rural brothel. If a lady is not making money at all that is one thing and she could be then coached or mentored as to why.
It's why I pull what I dub "The IC Clause". If a place wants to control rates either be a fixed rate house where the rates for everyone are made crystal clear, or hire working girls as employees. If we're paying our costs and everything else we can charge whatever rates we see fit for a party. I personally do not like turning someone away unless they act like a jerk or what they want for their budget is too unreasonable and they can't be swayed to something more realistic. If a Lady isn't making money who has potential to - that's one thing. But rather than guilt trip, mentor her a little and perhaps do practice negotiations. If her LPIN expectations are just too high she may not be a good fit for a particular business, especially if she walks way more customers than she books and there's Ladies who reliably bring money and traffic in who could be filling her slot.
But I also personally don't push myself. When I'm exhausted I may joke and say "don't wake me for anyone unless their budget is X" but in reality if I'm not too tired and the person is nice, I'll party for good budgets even if I'm woken up to do it. If I am too tired I make it clear that I am and choose
not to party because I don't want to risk a subpar experience on a customer due to my being worn out. Money is only a good motivator until a body's natural survival instincts to eat/sleep kick in.
I don't guilt anyone over their budget unless they're a huge jerk about it. And there's certain lines that are red flags for jerks with budgets way too low for what they want. If you're nice with your budget you get more for your money, but some Ladies can take it as a huge insult to give them a low budget when you obviously could afford much more - especially if you try to guilt her by mentioning someone or someplace else that took your budget or less.
