Yesterday I had to cancel tours and bookings for a touring lady which always sux but this was futile and frustrating. Neither the escort nor myself wanted to cancel. The lady was forced to choose by an advertising site<\/a>, she must choose between us or them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was told she can work with Atlantic <\/a>outside of Australia but not inside Australia?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can an advertising site dictate how a lady earns? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The advertising site used strong-arm tactics and cost the lady a considerable amount of money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to Australian State Laws, we cannot work within certain states; this Advertising site handles every city & state, this lady is touring Australia wide so the lady had to choose them<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lady is an independent escort who has her own advertising, website, social media and the lady answers her own calls & emails. This lady was also on the Agency Atlantic website and accepting meetings with our clients<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were happy with this arrangement, the lady was happy but an advertising site wasn\u2019t happy so they made us both unhappy :(<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The lady is smart, hedging her bets and financially better off working with Atlantic + independently<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This advertising site has essentially cost the lady a considerable amount in lost revenue<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our clients won\u2019t book this lady as a private, a lot of clients like the reassurance we give them when they book with us. So it\u2019s a loss that the lady won\u2019t recoup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have 16 years experience internationally so the lady was able to tap into that experience and learn things she may never have learnt working solo + she had the safety of us knowing her whereabouts & so forth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restricting an escort’s earning potential and telling her how she must work; isn\u2019t that an unfair trade practice, restraint of trade or something?  Why shouldn’t an escort be able to earn as much as possible?  That\u2019s why ladies escort, to earn money!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced to choose by a directory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Advertising is paid promotion. If you are advertising honestly then where is the problem?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In Australia, we advertise with Punterplanet, Available Angels + a few others.  Our ads clearly show our name and logo and make it clear that a caller will speak to a receptionist, not the lady herself<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am sick and tired of hearing in Australia how all agencies are so bad and have so many rules when the only rules we have are – be open, honest & respectful to the staff at Atlantic and other escorts – OMG that\u2019s so awful, so many rules! LOL<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also ask that a lady does her best & we really like people to be on time. Oh and we have a no drugs policy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we don\u2019t restrict how a lady earns, how could we. We can’t own a person or stop her from making money & achieving her personal goals (which is why most girls escort, to begin with)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Australian Private vs Agency thing is a topic that drives me nuts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I will save it for my next blog entry with the working title: Private, Agency or Fagency (aka Faux Agency – the agency you have when you don\u2019t want to use the word Agency)  :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great weekend<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
