Confidence
In
Control
Showing confidence and being in control will likely not be completely
possible your first few weeks. It will take time just to get comfortable
with your new career and how to interact. But as quickly as possible
you want to build up your level of confidence so that you can be
relaxed, comfortable, and ready to take control in any situation.
The importance of maintaining control is both to let your clients
see they have made a wise choice in hiring a professional man as
well as to ensure that if an uncomfortable situation arises where
a client is requesting something that you consider out of bounds
you can handle it smoothly.
Ego
While maintaining confidence, you never want to appear aloof or
difficult. You also don't want to become an egotist who gives clients
the impression they are lucky to be with you, spends time telling
the client how good looking and intelligent he is. In fact, a good
rule of thumb is to let the client do about 60-75% of the talking.
And be a good listener! The more you pay attention to a clients
thoughts and feelings the better they will like you.
It will be easy to let clients affect your ego. You will find that
some guys spend a lot of time dwelling on your attributes, and if
you took everything they said to heart you would quickly believe
you were an invincible god. There are times when clients tell escorts
they are the best looking, most intelligent, and nicest guy on the
planet. Learn to just graciously and genuinely thank them, but don't
let it affect your ego.
Conversely there are some twisted individuals out there who will
spend their time telling you how awful you are. Here is a direct
quote emailed to an escort from his web site "I can't believe
anybody would ever pay to spend time with you never mind (shudder)
have sex with you. You are the most aids infected looking rat faced
scrawny guy I've ever seen." Even though you know it's not
true, how would receiving that message make you feel? The important
thing is to not react--that is what they want! In this case the
escort didn't reply to the email at all. However the guy kept sending
similar messages so finally the response was sent. One short sentence
not even mentioning the content of the messages received, simply
saying something like, "Your email is not wanted; do not write
again." The guy at the other end immediately quit. He didn't
get the reaction he wanted, and just as importantly when he did
get a response there was nothing in it he could react to. When you
do get nasty email do NOT react to it. You don't know but that the
person at the other end is a psycho and you are just getting them
mad. Who knows what they might do if you annoy them.
Maintain an even balance and always be gracious, polite, and down-to-earth
with clients. It will build you repeat business and give you more
and bigger tips. More importantly, many clients do talk with their
friends about escorts (whether they admit they hire them or not
is another matter!). Word of mouth can make or break you faster
than anyone can possibly imagine. So always act as if you have a
harsh audience critiquing you. No doubt it will make you a very
kind, considerate person. And there's nothing wrong with that!
