Independent Escorts Joining Agencies
There has been a sharp increase in many independent escorts joining agencies. The biggest reason has been the rippling effects of the recession. This has led to a sharp increase in the number of people who have lost their jobs. As a result of their job loss, they have decided that becoming an escort is the most viable short term financial plan. So the increase in competitiveness for independents have meant that the ones who were not that established have suffered. Less clientele means less money. They never had built a client list up, so they could not depend on repeat custom. So the most logical step, is to join an established escort agency, in the hope they can get bookings.
Escort agencies are always recruiting, due to the frequent turnover rate of a percentage of their escorts. Especially in London, their are many agencies where independents can submit an application form online hoping to join them. The top ones interview personally all applicants. Independent escorts who are more experienced do have an advantage when it comes to joining agencies. An established agency can give an independent escort regular work. However the escort has to pay the agency a percentage of their earnings as the booking agent.
The Problem
With such a high turnover in the market sometimes independents can be less reliable. Some often don't fully give up their own persona clientele which can lead to problems. also they may be more inclined to try and see clients obtained by the agency themselves, subsequently cutting them out of the earning process for the future. Also many who have had no experience working for an agency make take longer to adjust to it. One one hand it is easier for agencies to recruit independents as they visible on the web, many have reviews online, so that is a good point of reference of experience.
The recession has hit agencies as well. So they will only pick the escorts who meet their criteria with the added attribute of experience. If you are an independent escort who is struggling, all is not lost. You could promote yourself professionally online. Why not build yourself up with some expert escort SEO. That way over time you can climb the search engines and promote your service to potentially more clients.
