question about agency escorting
Hey ladies- I am working with an agency and I have had several clients hand me their personal numbers to cut out the agency. Is this a good or bad idea? Why? I have not contacted any of my guys personally but I want to know the pros and cons. PM me if you don't feel comfortable posting.

Don't do it!!!
If the agency finds out (and they may be testing you, my former agent used to do that all the time to girls) then they will fire you.
Also, think about why the clients are wanting to circumvent the agency. Will they get lower rates? More flexible time? Always keep in mind that no matter how nice a client seems, his main interest is HIMSELF. Rarely do these men go around the agency so the girl can have more money, it's all about them.
Plus, it's just tacky. I know the business we work in is a bit more unstructured in general, but it's still a business and a certain level of ethics should be upheld. If the people you work for feel like they can trust you, they'll be more likely to help you out when you need it and work harder to book you.
Just my opinion.

Thank you so much. You confirmed my suspicions but had to ask out of curiosity.

Yes. Definitely don't do it. Not only is it bad for your reputation with your agency, it is a bad idea in general. Most agencies offer you some type of protection, or someone to collect your cash (bouncer, driver, etc.) which you don't have on your own. Also, if guys know that no one is waiting for you outside the door, they can do whatever they want/keep you for longer/not have any cash on them. Etc.
Be safe! :)
