    Mikegaite got a reaction from marylander1940 in Do you require an "anchor client" to visit a new city?   
    If you don't secure bookings in advance, a client might say, "Another escort reached out and confirmed with me already and I have already used up my escorting budget. Thus, I can't see you this trip." That scenario has happened to me more than once on both sides of the equation.
     
    For Seattle, I always reach out in advance to try to decide how best to split my time between Seattle, Bellevue, Federal Way, Tacoma, and Seatac. When my hotel location is not going to vary based on client availability (e.g. Manhattan) I don't need to be as strategic about setting things up in advance. Advanced booking also helps an escort decide how to best balance his ratio of weekdays to weekends in a city.
     
    The problem with securing advance appointments is a very high percentage of people tend to cancel at the last minute, or whenever you contact them to confirm they say, "I meant to contact you to cancel." Or something to that effect. If you can make fill your dance card booking same-day appointments only, there's little incentive to reach out in advance. You have to remember that DR is not representative of the escort world as a whole, that most clients are looking for same-day appointments, and that a hot body--rather than a proactive booking approach-- is all you need to seal the deal.

    If I were visiting a domestic city primarily for escorting, yes. If I were visiting a domestic city in which escorting was an auxiliary goal but not the primary purpose of the trip, then also yes if I had my druthers. I would get crickets going to a new city compared to all the dozens of hotties and known quantities. I've built enouhh bases in certain cities where I have had reasons to visit other than escorting, that i tend to avoid non-anchor cities. I'm in one non-anchor now bc I wanted to explore it, but I gave myself a limited window of time there bc I don't have anchors here except new anchors. Sorry my ambien is kicking in but you get the idea.

    I won't reveal details of our sacred bond and the steamy afternoon we spent in a cheap motel together, but suffice to say Joe Parker is not gay for pay. He doesn't kiss as well as BignTall or Truhart1, but then again who could?
