A lot of agencies will have price guarantees so clients will point out ads to get better rates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"do-i-need-to-sign-a-contract\">Do I need to sign a contract?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If an agency tries to force you to sign a contract on the spot, be careful. You could be locked into something that you may regret<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is a contract read over it &amp; if you are unsure if you should sign it consult a lawyer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take your time to decide if the Escort Agency is the right one for you; if you have any doubts continue interviewing with other agencies; you will know the right agency when you come across them<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"my-no-1-piece-of-escort-agency-advice\">My no. 1 piece of Escort Agency Advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If it doesn&#8217;t feel right, don&#8217;t feel obliged to work with this business.
