Hagglers

[Curvaceous Kate]

Sorry to start the day with a moan, but I get the impression that you guys with euros don't appreciate how the Euro being weak against sterling impacts for the British girls.

I just had a guy call me and tell me he only had €60 and could he have 30 minutes of my time for that?

Here is the maths.

I charge £90 in the UK (including Northern Ireland). I cross the border and I charge €100. I have not changed this rate in line with current exchange rates, so currently that equates to £78, which means I've already taken a £12 cut on my minimum charge.

€60 is the equivalent of £46 rounded down. That's nearly half my normal rate in the UK.

Sterling is the currency I pay my bills with. Any money that I make in the Republic has to be transferred to sterling for me to pay my bills etc, so I don't get like for like benefit.

Basically what I'm saying is anyone wanting to haggle please don't embarrass yourself, as it will result in a short sharp rejection. I don't care how horny you are. I will not be lowering my rates.

There are plenty of girls out there already charging much less and plenty that don't have to change their euros and take a loss, so maybe better to find someone within your price range rather than put me in a bad mood.

Economies of scale though... charge €60, get through twice as many guys and...

Nah, I can't even believe to pretend I believe that .. You're damn right! Any guy who haggles down is taking the piss - going by the women I've met, guys should be leaving tips!!

I see a very simple solution to this :

Adjust rates according to fluctuations in exchange rates (not daily , obviously ; but when warranted)

And if someone tries to haggle , a simple firm no (kindly said) will take care of the rest.

Jeez. How come I never have problems with hagglers !??!





And voila , no reason to moan xx

Phone has to ring to get hagglers.

We've already discussed this Stephanie, it's because you work from the same City all of the time, so you are less of a target.

I am happy to keep to the rate that I use in Ireland, as it is sometimes much better than sterling and some times low as it is at the moment. In the end it balances out and I have a good regular base that I value, so don't want to muck them about with chopping and changing and believe me the rate fluctuates on a daily basis.

I do however hope that clients in the Republic are aware that the rates do fluctuate and at the moment it is particularly low in comparison to sterling, so just to be more considerate.

Thank you for your input though, as it is valued

The exchange rates should have nothing to do with it. To say you can't lower your rates anymore implies if they were favourable you would.
The big problem is obviously ladies do entertain them which is the big issue, not exchange rates.

Then why even mention that you're already taking a pay cut from 90£ to 78£ and moan about it ??


Just to be more considerate now that the exchange rate is not so nice ?

So it's ok to haggle with you when the euro is strong ? I'm confused ...


Don't bother. It's just another of your moaning threads. We get it x
