How often do you see your regular?

[Romeo99]

Hey merb members!

I'm curious to know how often do you see your regular ? Once a month, once a week?

And girls? How often does your regular client book you?

For me I usually see my atf once every 3 weeks. Around same date every month. Pretty sure she's expecting my text any time soon lol!

I deleted the comment I posted because someone laugh reacted it, and I don't want that reaction to stay on my comment, it's honestly rude and annoying when people do this without responding..

I was mentioning that I consider someone a regular client if he books me once at least once month over a period of at least 4-6 months. But that's not always the case. I have clients I've seen a less often but for over a year. I have one client that I've seen since the very beginning, I appreciate him a lot and he books me for short periods of time, sometimes we go a month or two without seeing each other, but we always end up reconnecting.

To me there's a difference between a regular and a repeat client, some clients will see you a few times over a few months and move on to another SP or something else, which is also fine. I also have clients I've seen a few times over the course of 1 to 3 years, when they're in town. Maybe they would be regulars if they lived here. I always appreciate seeing them.

Weekly and if budget allowed it, I know it would be more than once a week

One of my most constant regulars, has seen me anywhere from 3 times a week, to going without seeing eachother for 3 months. Depends what is going on in his life. Relationship, job, vacations... ect. Have been seeing him since the very first month I became available almost 2.5 yrs ago.

Other regulars I enjoy seeing are often 1x/month - 1x/3 months. Depends what they can afford, like and want. I fully expect them to be seeing other SPs in that time too. It is up to them who they want to spend time with. I'm just happy when I see their text looking to meet again.

I've had repeat clients who booked me weekly when they were in Montreal for a month or two but honestly one of my goals is to have regulars I see weekly or bi-weekly.. it's pretty rare. this is really my wish for my 4th year as a SP..

Since I have two regulars whom I genuinely enjoy spending time with, and since last summer, I've become less busy, I try to visit them almost every other week. This way, I get to see one of them every week, provided my availability allows

Are regular clients generally the type of clients SPs like seeing again? I remember one SP mentioning she had a regular she wasn't all that keen on for whatever reason.

I used to do

Girl Friend #1: 10h/week+
Girl Friend #2 4h/week
Girl Friend #3 2h/week

For 2 years +

I keep 1h / week for discovery or to say hi to SPs that I see maybe occasionally . understand once in a month… and they still think I am a regular. which is true in a way.

I got even restricted in how many hours I could book at one point because other regulars couldn’t have the chance to meet them sorry

It was a risk to deal only with me and I understand

So I learned how to share even if it’s not fun and reduced the hours and diversified.

But I believe they enjoy the company otherwise they wouldn’t accept so much booking because they have the choice honestly

This Girl friends are lucky compare to others who do not have this type of bookings

The full shifts kind of booking with food & drinks, booked a week in advance with zero no show rate from me. Pretty steady income for them.

They said: you book more hours per week VS my SP work. I said yep.

And it turns out it’s not that fun in the long run.
It was until it’s not. So I don’t book like crazy now. I am more chill.

Regular, would be anyone who we see on a regular/semi-regular pattern, basically constant repeat. More than at least 3 times. Before that it is concidered repeats (in how I see it for myself, I can't speak for how anyone else sees it.)

I can say regulars are more the goal generally, as they are still calling and supporting us year round, not just on a whim out of nowhere. When being contacted by several people at once I will prioritize people I know, and know I enjoy my time with them, over people who I have never met yet.

As for SPs seeing regulars they aren't keen on, not everyone we see is going to be someone we are compatible with, but it is a job, and sometimes we need to compromise for work and accept/or not, who we are willing to see.

It is apparently rather a privledged role I have been told, that I refuse repeats with people I have not enjoyed my time with, preventing them from ever becoming regulars. Most don't have that luxury, and admittedly one I can't really afford either, but for my mental health, and to prevent SW burnout, it is necessary.
