Some Impartial Advice on Choosing an Escort Agency
Whether you are thinking of becoming an escort, have decided that you definitely want to get into escorting, or you have been an escort for some time, deciding which escort agency to join in a big decision. You may well have been checking out various Yorkshire escort agencies, comparing them and deciding which escort agency appears best for you.
Do not be fooled into believing that escort agencies with the most escorts are the busiest agencies – this is not always the case, although agency owners know that agencies with lots of escorts look like the busiest agencies! The only way you will know how busy an escort agency is, is by joining them.
How successful and busy you will be as an escort depends on you. As an escort it's important how you look, how you present yourself, how much time and attention to pay to your image and how skilled and professional you are. By 'professional', we mean that escort girls who are unreliable or disorganised often find themselves losing bookings, moving from escort agency to escort agency and getting a bad reputation in the industry.
However, it's not just about looks, so don't let the fact that you're not a supermodel put you off becoming an escort. Looking beautiful does not automatically mean you will be a success as an escort. If you are well-groomed, articulate, reliable, honest and put great enthusiasm, common sense and sensitivity into what you do, you'll be a great success.
When you contact an agency, take their sales-patter with a pinch of salt. You will hear all kinds of stories about girls earning thousands of pounds a week, driving sports cars, owning their own homes within two years, etc, etc. We've spoken to hundreds of escorts over the years and in 99% of cases, this just doesn't happen.
Be wary of any escort agency that tells you how much you could earn. It is against the law for escort agencies to 'solicit' or try to entice you into this industry as a new escort girl. Many will try to make the work sound fantastically glamorous but the reality is that being an escort is a job, just like any other. Escorts who work hard, are honest and reliable and take absolute pride in what they do, will be the ones who are the most successful. Just like any other career, you have to put everything into it, to get the most out of it. It has its glamorous moments but just like any other job, from time to time, being an escort can be a bit mundane. Some days, you will find it a real effort to get your escorting head on and get out there and dazzle the world!
Be aware that, as an escort, you are self-employed and the ups and downs are the same as with anyone who works for themselves. There are busy times and there are quiet times. You have to remember to register with the Inland Revenue and pay your tax and National Insurance contributions. Although your agency may be able to offer advice on how to do this, it is not their responsibility to pay your contributions for you. Remember, your escort agency is NOT your employer – it is your booking agent. One way of looking at it is that the escort agency actually works for you. You pay them, not the other way round.
When deciding which escort agency to work for, ensure you do your research. If you have internet access, Google is a good tool to use to find out which agencies are in your chosen area. Have a good scout around. If you want to work for a Leeds escort agency, then use different search terms like: Leeds escorts, Leeds escort, Leeds escort agency, Leeds escort agencies and escorts in Leeds. Likewise, for, say, Sheffield, use Sheffield escorts, Sheffield escort, Sheffield escort agency, Sheffield escort agencies and escorts in Sheffield. If you live in a smaller town, like Wakefield, and you can't travel, then check out Wakefield escorts, Wakefield escort, Wakefield escort agency, Wakefield escort agencies and escorts in Wakefield. If you drive, or have a driver, and you are happy to travel to your escort bookings, then try looking at Yorkshire escorts, Yorkshire escort agency, escorts in Yorkshire, Yorkshire escort agencies or Yorkshire escort. It's best to think about where you're willing to work before you can an escort agency, so for example you might want to think about whether you want to stay in a particular town, such as Harrogate or Doncaster, whether you'll work in a bigger city such as Leeds or Sheffield, or whether you're happy to drive and can work throughout say Yorkshire and Derbyshire.
It is advisable not to just randomly apply to the first few escort agencies that come up on page one of your search. The main reason that any business comes up at the top of page one of Google is because they have been in business the longest. However, having a good look through the first few pages of your search will turn up some excellent and equally successful agencies – it's just they haven't been open for quite as long as the page one guys!
Remember that the image the agency projects, will reflect on you if you choose to join them. Does the website look smart, professional and informative? Is it well written and are the ladies well photographed? Listen to what is going on in the background! This sounds like a strange thing to say, but remember, what you can hear is also what the clients can hear. Are the TV or the stereo on? Is someone vacuuming, shouting or putting up shelves? Are the agency owner's kids running amok and interrupting? Of course, like you, some agency owners have children and a family, but the children should not be in close proximity to the running of an escort agency!
When you are ready to begin phoning around your chosen escort agencies, make a list of the things that are important to you. Questions you may want to ask the escort agency include:
- How much commission does the escort agency charge, and how you pay that to them?
- If the escort agency does incalls (visits to an apartment or to your home) as well as outcalls (visits to clients at their hotel or home), do you have to do both?
- If the escort agency does incalls, what do they charge for apartment use?
- Does the agency charge you a fee to join them?
- Do you have to commit to a certain number of hours per week?
- How late do they expect you to work?
- Are they discreet in the way they contact you about escort bookings?
- Do they know a professional photographer and how much will your photos cost?
- Does the agency provide a driver, and if so, do they insist on driving you to every booking, or do they allow you the flexibility to make your own way there and use the driver as and when you need one?
- How much does the driver charge?
- Does the agency security-check the bookings – and how do they do this?
- Does your agency owner or receptionist keep in touch with you on your way into and out of bookings to check you are safe, well and comfortable with your client?
Once you have spoken to an escort agency, ask yourself these more general questions:
- Do they have a relaxed attitude and offer you plenty of flexibility?
- Do you feel they will show you respect and trust or do you feel they are quite controlling?
- Is the commission rate high? Do you feel that joining them will be good value for money?
- Does the agency seem efficient, professional, honest and respectful?
Once you know what kind of escort agency you want to work for, don't compromise. The best escort girls choose an agency that matches their criteria as it makes sure they'll be happier in their job and will provide a better service to clients. This is the best route toward ensuring you remain safe and happy in your work as an escort.
Good luck!
