Escort of the Month Competition

[Curvaceous Kate]

This is something that I will never win or attempt to win.

There seems to be a lot of kudos built up around this, with the achievement having been to have met a lot of clients in one month that review. This also means meeting a lot of new clients, as when you meet the same client again, they can still review you, but it does not add to your list. They also need to be someone who has reviewed quite a lot themselves, as they get a number score.

For me and the way I work, I rarely see more than 3 clients a day and working on the fact that maybe one in every ten clients will be a reviewer, then it's a chance I may get a review every 3 days if I was seeing all new clients.

Then take into consideration that most of the clients that I see are repeat bookings and most of those clients are not likely to review again this further diminishes chances of getting a review.

For me this is a double edged sword. I am perfectly happy with the way I work. I love seeing the same clients and having regulars and wouldn't have that any other way. I am also very happy with my average of 3 bookings in a working day. I recently met 6 in one day and pretty much had the day off the next day, as I was knackered! (I actually accepted one booking the next day), so didn't really do much different to 3 in a day when you look at it that way. Anyway, my point is...

Why is it all hemmed on seeing new people and high volume? Is there not an alternative way to show that someone is good at what they do? Maybe with this new star system it could be that after they have had a certain amount of reviews if they have 99% or higher they get a different coloured star to show their consistent, long term success?

Seeing as we're making changes and all, just thought it might be a nice idea to throw that out there

There are many of us working to a very high standard that never get any recognition, because we don't play the numbers game.

It an accolade that seems to catapult the Escort into Mega Stardom around here ... But not to worry kate you are already famous on here loll!

[MidlifeCrisis]

No disrespect to the wonderful girls who have won it, but I was a bit surprised when I read the rules. As you say, it is all about new clients. The fact that only your latest review stays visible means that most repeat visitors will only give feedback to each escort once, or perhaps twice.

There is no harm in having such a prize, but I agree that having happy repeat visitors is probably a more important test of excellence, especially if they all leave delighted.

If they added a way to score very visit, and made it anonymous as far as escorts were concerned, they could have a second award that would be much more meaningful. I suspect that changing this will not be high on the priority list just now, though!

Escort of the month started as a casual point of interest monthly accolade back in 2008 by a punter/poster called Ric Flair. For two years hence the winners were predominately Mature English/Irish winners. But in 2011 to present day the majority of winners are foreign with a local (as in including UK) lady rare to be seen. I dont think guys tastes have changed, more the variety and number of foreign escorts increased dramatically over the years.

Today EOTM has evolved into being a strategic marketing tool. Most that win have learned how to market themselves (flirt online and "look at me" type threads) in order to win. But having said that, no escort will win or garner reviews unless she is able to attract her punter. You will notice again and again that the winning reviews are mostly from the community here rather than random punters.

Does this make the EOTM a farce. I think not. Most winners I would have to say are deserved. But it is not perhaps a good indication that these winners are better than other escorts, more better at marketing....

EOTM winners are usually won when:

1. The girl gets new pictures done and someone starts a thread about it
2. They are active on the boards and understand how to flirt
3. They attract clients who they know meet the criteria to have a review which counts
4. They aren't afraid to ask outright are you going to give them a positive review

i agree the rules are fairly crap and i think repeat customers new review should be allowed

some ladies get what i would call the domino effect.
popular lady on the boards with a good profile who gets say 2 reviews fairly quickly then there can be a rush of lads getting in to review her on the back of that and it spirals.

i didnt think anyone took eotm seriously, but then again you do see a lot of ott fawning over the winner sometimes. but thats the game.

very telling actually that when Apple the chinese lady won it recently it was more or less treated like a non event as she didnt have a profile on the boards. Gas.

Same everywhere, not only in escorting work.

Still the EOTM page on the new website does not tally with the EOTM hall of fame thread in general chat. August is correct but July, June and May are not and one escort wins two months in a row (can't under EOTM rules).
