    Default Question: What is overpaying and how much is too much?

    I'm reading this post about escort screening/escort assistant and read where Dixie says
    there's no need to overpay an escort assistant. I agree. However, How much is too much?
    Some of you have said you'd like to have a personal conceirge to help with your advertising/marketing?
    How much would you be willing to pay for that service? I know a lady that charges $300 a day (she answers your phone/emails)
    and I know another service that charges $500 a week (Executive luxuries). What is just enough/too much?

    i dont think 500 per week is unreasonable at all.. It depends on how much business youre doing. if you dont get much work, a commission per booking (usually $50 or so) is fine. If youre working all the time, then a weekly salary isnt bad.
    It's not about what you do for a living, it's about who you want to be.

    I guess what I meant was, paying anyone anything to do that for me would be overpaying - because that is the first connection with the client, and it's crucial, and I can't trust anyone else to do it properly for ME showcasing ME, so paying anyone would be overpaying - I think I started rambling, lol tired eyes over here!

    So if you want to be with me
    With these things there’s no telling
    We just have to wait and see
    But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
    Than waiting to win the lottery
    Besides maybe this time is different
    I mean I really think you like me

    That's sick ^^^^^^ makes me wanna escort. Seems like it would be a cake walk if all that's being done for you.

    Damn! That's a lot of work for an assistant! I don't tour (haven't needed to yet) and am pretty much a workaholic though...I guess it really depends on how much of yourself you want to give to the job - I'm taking the executive ladder I guess - going all for nothing, go for broke, hard and fast and AMAZING as I can, just because it really is a fucking blast for me and I want to be the best. Who would have thought??! Certainly not me. But damn do I love this job

    I love it too but I'm semi-retired for now. However, I've been at this for 3years, I would like to start offering assistant services.
    I think the numbers posted are a bit too pricey though. I'll work something out.

Ughh and there's also the amount you have to fork over for taxes, insane cost of ads each year, and your bills. I'm really trying to avoid an assistant because I know that if I put in the time I could save money. The assistant I was considering does all of the below:
    I'm all for a girl going independent however, just imagine escorting and screening too. Do you know how many hours it takes to properly screen? Now let's factor in your personal life. By the time you realize it, you're spending all your time doing the deed and admin work and no time for you. I can totally see how an assistant would be expensive --- but it seems it would relieve a lot of stress/be worth it. If you don't mind having no life (like me) then I'd say go for it lol.
