@Fenix thanks for the info but either way it is booked for tomorrow and I will follow through, some will believe it others won't at least I am attempting to show some transparency in the allegations being made.

@Sean,
I started this thread because my biggest gripe was the 33,3% increase in rates. I just felt that the jump from R450 to r600 for a massage was too much. Maybe you could circumvent that by adding a loyalty program. (such as, after every ten visits the eleventh one is free) or come up with something innovative. In any case the other allegations by punters and ex employees seem to harm your business. I am sorry to see that happen - to you or anyone else.

Just remember all is not lost yet. Perhaps a little bit of mind set changes and some clever marketing and rewards program you could go on to become the Best of the Best, ultimate in sensual massages, not only nationally but internationally as well. Do something, staying quite or becoming defensive will not help in any way.

Good Luck. (divine is still a great place to experience a top class massage)

@MYK99 great ideas.

So from Monday we will institute a loyalty system, you can either have every 6th treatment at half price or every 11th free. We have sat tonight and tried to figure out how to do it and maintain discretion.

We obviously keep no records of clients so the idea is the clients name / assumed name and a four digit number of their choice eg: John 2654.

Would that work.

Secondly we will institute a competition, for every visit each client through their loyalty card to the end of August will earn one entry into the draw to win a one hour treatment a week for an three months. At the end of the first winners reign we will draw the next name and they will win the same, this will continue indefinitely.

ESA we would like to invite you to do the draw in the interests of transparency.

Furthermore in the interests of reconciliation I would like to offer ESA five thousand 50% off tickets to give away to their members for this years SEXPO taking place in September. I will also organise full complimentary tickets for them to use for promotional purposes closer to the event.

Regards
Sean

I'm pleased that all that has been said has now been realised and that you can go forward in a positive way. Good luck and all the best for the future.

Seems like its time to kiss and make up?

Great stuff Sean. You're well on your way to recovering from the unwelcome publicity. I will definitely take part. This is what the loyal clients want to see. A little give back goes a long way.
Best of luck and I am sure this will pan out nicely.

@ SeanDivine

A very gracious offer to give members 50% off SEXPO tickets I'm certain many users will be happy to take you up on them.

I have a few reservations about statements you have made.

Firstly multiple ladies said the following that you called a staff get together and expressly forbid that any one in your employ advertise with ESA I'm very well aware that ladies fib but this information the exact information has come from as many as 10 different sources. That withstanding you don't have to advertise with us if you feel it adds no value. You as a business owner has every right to promote your business in the way you see fit.

Ladies who have left your employ have also alluded to the fact that you constantly brag about your contacts in the media and SARS and the police. Further they also noted you operate with some heavy whom you threaten people with. I did some digging myself and some of what I have been told is very accurate. I'm deeply offended that you haven't sent your heavy my way as I so enjoy these types.

Sean with all respect to you, you not some Bedforview crimelord because you had some contact with what you though was the underworld means very little. The ladies who leave your employ have every right to operate in whatever area they want and you have no right to try to play some silly you own the town game, because you certainly do not. Every one has the right to earn a living and you have no right to disrupt any ladies ability to work and provide for herself.

You noted Sally would not comply with certain requests, I cant talk for her but we have a have certain standards that we insist upon, further we go to grave lengths to accommodate our client in any way we can when it comes to special photograph requests.

I do recall you called to apologize I don't believe however it was in the lease bit sincere, I felt that as always Sean has a very developed sense of self preservation so Sean does what he needs to do to survive as we all do. The things you did to me on a personal level in my mind are unforgivable but did I do anything to harm you, no I did not. If roles where reversed I wonder what my fate would have been.

All the above withstanding, you had some complaints about various aspects of your business, it looks to me you doing all you can to address so good for you. Good client relations can only have a positive spin off for your business.

Kind regards
ESA SUPPORT

will you guys be attending the sexpo in September
