Dinner dates and overnights

[LC18]

Julia, I go the extra mile for my business partners.

That reminds me of this dude from the Fyre festival

I 100% agree with you, but as in your example these are existing clients with whom you already have a business relationship with. It's just partner management 101. I am sure that a lot of SPs will offer this to their loyal clients but they would not be advertising this publicly to potential new ones.

Just my opinion but it could be profitable for the future. When I see indys on MERB giving specials I am guessing business is slow, instead of dropping their rates offer a dinner plan with the same rate, the two ladies I met would probably not got my business if that was not in their ad. The person in Calgary wanted the dinner plan all the time and the one in Calgary was 50/50 and both were first time customers.
The business relationship I had was with business clients not SPs.

I remember a few years ago, someone couldn’t afford to book me for an overnight so he booked me late at night for a few hours and early in the morning for a few hours. He kept his hotel room unlocked and asked me to join him in bed in the morning.

It was super sweet.

One of my happiest memories is waking up to a beautiful woman cuddled up to me and still sleeping. I just laid there for an hour admiring her and enjoying the warmth. She was not an SP though (was a one-night stand) and I can't justify spending that much for an overnight booking. I might have to try out your client's strategy some day.

This is me, but replace woman with dog.

Some people have an all inclusive dinner date package, and some people charge a part of the booking as social time. A lot of companions have social time rates that are very cheap, myself included. I've seen some companions offer 100$ for social time.

Another thing to remember is that not every SP wants to be taken to an extremely expensive restaurant for a dinner date. It's polite to book a good restaurant for sure, but if you don't want to spend as much, ask the person what they are comfortable with. I've had people book me for brunch dates, lunch, movies and coffee and drinks, they still paid my social rate, and it was cheaper for them. A lot of indy providers would not allow this tho so you have to be careful.
