This retainer thing, sound a lot like finding a girlfriend. Although it might also work out cheaper than having a permanent girlfriend in the long run.

lol its only cheaper if you don't have a girlfriend AND the SP has a significant other outside of the business or else you end becoming her outlet.

You'll soon find yourself paying for date nights out with your SP because staying indoors, making money and getting naughty isn't enough anymore for her.

You don't say no because you only paid for an hour but you're getting the lady for multiple hours or even the whole night.

Now you're paying the retainer fee + R1k on a night out.

And we're back to punting at the hourly rate being the cheapest and cleanest option.

There was only one punter on this thread that said retainers work and he added the caveat that you need a ton of throwaway money to make it work.

Retainers aren't for punters looking for the most cost-effective approach to smashing lol.

What has worked for me:
See a lady a few times, and if i really like and we click, i asked if we can do a deal.
I ask her, if i see you once a week, what rate will you give me?
So the moment more than a week goes buy, without me booking her, i am going back to regular rate. As soon as the next booking is within a week, i pay the reduced rate.

That way, i dont pay money upfront and then struggles to get a booking. And she is assured of regular bookings.

That sounds like a brilliant plan

You've got mail.

You may send me a message.

Where are all the Johannesburg ladies interested in retainers?

The Pretoria ladies seem to be the most enthusiastic here. Or am I wrong?

Avoid avoid avoid.

Punting is about not having to deal with this

I had one and after a few months it became more expensive as I ended up being called to buy vouchers for electricity, pay for the deposit on a new flat, going out sometimes when bored etc etc etc

Was like a girlfriend except I had to pay a service fee on top of everything.

No offense to SPs reading this and have maintained but you know gals in your trade will push the boundaries.

I have had a girl I visited only 3 times ask me for stuff out of the blue.

Boundaries is punting 101

That way you can get the booking.

She gets reliable income. He gets a little extra.

100% correct.. when a SP knows that she can rely on a steady retainer deal month on month... why would she stuff it up by giving substandard performance..

Yet so few come forward when someone posts they want a retainer or a regular - or maybe they just PM.

And so few come forward from the punters when you post retainer packages on the advertisers promotions.. so guess it works both ways..

The issue with advertiser promotions it is easy to miss anything to do with retainers as they are few and far between all the content promotions.
