Code of Ethics

[hugedman]

Hi there Perbites...

I wonder if Codes of Ethics exist in the SPs' profession as compared to many other professions such as doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants, to name a few...

My questions are:

Should the SP take on a higher pay client/appt over your appt (eventhough you have made the appt in advance days ago?

Is it ethical to do so?

Personally, would you see such a SP if you know she does this kind of tricks?

I so wish there was but as a former working ho. I can tell you the bitches are out for them selfs...

I was going to say yes until I read your blurb. It has nothing to do with higher paid it has to do with the appointment being made. This isn't just an SP thing this is common courtesy between human beings. This has to do with when you agree to have lunch with you mother three weeks in advance and your friends call you up an hour before and want to do something fun etc., you still honour the commitment. Everybody has schedules and if you make an appointment with anybody, they have arranged their time to accommodate you. That should be respected.

Booked appts should always get precedence over higher offers. However, repeat customers get precedence over newcomers, considering there is such a high rate of no-shows. Don't assume your pre-booked appt time is being taken seriously if this is your first visit! An appt made a couple of days ago would pretty much be considered a non-appt unless you re-confirm an hour or so ahead. Having done that, the sp is always going to prefer the bird in the hand (you) over the empty promises of what might be 2 birds (higher paying client) in the bush.

And I disagree that the sp is deceiving you in some way. Again, see other thread regarding the increased incidence lately of time wasters booking then not showing up. She would have very poor business sense if she didn't have a waiting list, not in case an appt doesn't show up, but when they don't show up.

I agree with you....thank you very much for your post.
Unfortunitely, there are still a lot of SPs who just simply ignore other appts (and pretend nothing had happened) and would take the one with multiple hour appt. I think they simply have no respect to others (I mean, not just clients, but could be friends, or even family members, etc...)

I agree the appt gets precedence over higher offers; and repeat customers get precedence over new ones - however, what if this is a repeat customer and also got the pre-booked appt time and yet this SP did not respect/honour his time? In addition, the appt was also confirmed pretty much once every day until the appt day, and then when you showed, there's no one answering the door. I think it's totally poor business sense and lack of respects to clients/customers.

You just said it yourself..

I think it's disrespectful and unacceptable no matter what the relationship between the 2 ppl (SP-client/friends/relatives/....) or type of business.

But this is different in that you will most likely make an appointment and go again whereas if ,say, your doctor did this or your accountant... you'd never give it a second thought and would stick to your guns. The small head tends to get convinced and forgives a lot easier that the big one does.

And THAT is the difference. And THAT is how, ethics or no ethics, some SP's (or just women in general) can, do and will continue to, simply because.......... you and others not only allow them to, but you also enable them to.

Hey HugeDman, I don't usually see you so fustrated . You must be extremely pissed off by this girl!

It would really all depend on what the SPs booking policies are.

If she set in place a policy where you can book an appointment in advance, then yeah, it's unethical-ish (this industry is not regulated and has its' own rules)

however if her policies are based on short term notice, then no it's not unethical ie. I get requests all the time for reservations for a date in the future, I list two options to book: 1) reserve the time/date with a deposit or 2) short term notice (30 minutes notice) but it's a gamble whether or not I'll be available, even with the intimate nature, it is still a business

Like AG mentioned, that SP will benefit...but only in the short term but having said that, this could be a stepping stone for her to move up into a different rate demographic. It's not a very good way of executing it because a regular at the lesser rate is still a regular whereas how many clients will she see at that higher rate.

Good for the SP for moving up into a higher rate demographic. I'm not against anyone being able to make more money. But does this also mean SPs may use a rate increase to weed out regular clients that she no longer wishes to book?

Let's say I'm a "preferred" client ie. good hygiene, keeps appointments, etc. As a "preferred" client, I would like to continue to pay my current rate and to maintain good relations, I'm sure the SP will offer to me the old rate. However, it doesn't make financial sense for the SP to book the lower rate when she can book at the higher rate. Why would she want to book with me and make less when she can make that much more? Would it be beneficial for me to migrate to the new rate to maintain a better chance of an appointment?

Ya sure you can just ask...go back awhile...search under a few of my threads, one tittled "Just a curtesy" & ask around...ya, you missed eight odd months & I never thought you were judging me no big deal.

There is much more than 8 months missing, but ima old and these things happen... Thanks for the heads up, I should have pm'd you and asked... hehe...

If you are a repeat that means you are reliable and will show up, therefore you always deserve first priority. Any sp who doesn't acknowledge this will see her business suffer.

It is still a good idea, as CLM also says, to re-re-re-confirm, if you have to. If you do not talk to her or get a callback, assume it is a no-go. If she can't call you back, then that shows her unreliability. I think all sps should follow this policy, as CLM has also mentioned in the past and they will also benefit from being able not be impacted by the no-shows. If they are no longer impacted by the no-shows, clients will benefit in the long run with better scheduling. The sp won't assume you aren't going to show up, which is pretty much what they do now.

Communication is key

A rate increase with the provider not grandfathering rates for established clients is up to them to grant and solicit. There is never any harm in asking if your rate is affected but the SP should communicate that with you even if it stands.

It's all dependent on what kind of clientele the SP wants to target. The SP may lose out on valuable regulars in favour of those with more of a disposable income and you may not have the privilege of seeing them again but that's their problem not yours. Anyways, there is something there for everybody so there is no real worry in their eyes if they do it right.

When you mechanic raises their shop rate, does he charge you the old or new rate?

It's your call... Can you find the same service for the old rate some place else, or do you stay with the service you have become accustomed too...

Likely pretty rare the mechanic will give you the old rate...

Then again, comparing apples and oranges...

Great post, Nina! It should be required reading for all aspiring SPs (and many existing ones too!). It confirms my opinion that you're a top notch SP, even though I've never seen you myself.

If anyone ever says again that there's no difference between a courtesan and a common whore, I'll refer them to your post to enlighten them.

My sentiments exactly Avery!! Oh btw, if you are really a good boy, I'll share some of my juicy Nina encounter details with you when I'm back from Van - that is of course if Nina gives me permission to "kiss, lick and tell"!!!

Special Note to Nina: should we do photos or video????
