I thought it was premature to close out the agency of the year thread. There was so much to consider. My first visit to Montreal was 2001. I discovered MERB in 2006 and I made my first post in 2007. It was a review of Allysson of Devilish October 2007. I noticed that the landscape over the years has changed. Devilish/GOF wasn`t even nominated.
This thread is dedicated to a discussion of the poll results. What is it about the business model of your favorite agency that appeals to you the most? Why did you vote for that agency and not the others? Why do you keep coming back? Why have some agencies flourished while others have faded away? How do agencies like GoodGirls and Wildtimes seem to come from nowhere and then quickly dominate the Montreal agency scene?
Why did GoodGirls garnerd 2x vote than their next closest competitor? What is it about their business model that made this happen?
What is the appeal of MSC and why have they had such a strong showing year after year?
What happened to Devilish/GOF and Eleganza. What made them great and why has interest in these agencies faded over the years?
Do you think that the poll data reflects agency revenue?
Why did you vote for agency XYZ?
I`ll go first. I was directed to GoodGirls by Iggy. I will say that Iggy and I often had exchanged PMs about SPs and he has suggested several SPs to me that from other agencies. However, this time it was Kate that Iggy directed me to. Since then, I have not received a dud from this agency. When I called a 2nd time, the owner remembered my real name and recognized my voice. He does try to make you feel like a friend. He allows me to prebook and I like the in-call option and 1/2 hour in-call option. The GG3 party was probably the highlight of my Montreal hobby experiences. I got to meet nearly the entire GG lineup and 3 Indies and several hobbyists I have been chatting with on MERB for years. I felt like I was in a carry out bar in Latin America or a Whiskaria in Rio De Janeiro that night. One more thing: Mike`s girls seem to like working for him. Can GGs keep this up?
Back in the day Eleganza always had new young talent and the service was very liberal. It was fun to check their who`s on list on Mondays and I would prebook. Also, John`s recommendations were spot on. However, the owner seemed to have an adversarial relationship with the help and he wasn`t very friendly to me either. In spite of this, I probably would have never had used anyone else if the talent pool hadn`t diminished over the years.
In 2013 I had one bad experience with a top agency. I had rejected the first girl that the booker had suggested because he said you may recieve a CBJ. I cant remember the exact words but The booker mentioned to me that this is the way his agency can recruit and maintain such outstanding talent. I guess all agencies allow their girls to refuse services. I insisted upon another girl. A well reviewed girl that turned out to be a cold fish that should seek out a career in accounting after she retires as an SP.
I like MTLGFE`s line-up and I like their specials. They have Alicia. But they also told me told me that their girls are going to be warm and friendly and when you receive a cold fish this is a reflection of the agency owner.
I have only dealt with Wildtimes once but the agency owner seemed very eager to please. I like their specials. I made clothing request and they delivered in spades. Jimmy even made a follow up call to see how I liked the girl. I will use them again.
I am rambling. What are your thoughts? Why did you vote the way you did?
