How to Turn Down a Client Gently?

At some point, every escort reaches a point when she must turn down a client. If this happened to you, don't feel bad, because it is completely normal, and it happens in every business and industry. It is never too soon or too late to learn how to do it gently and professionally.

There can be many reasons why you must turn down a client, and it can be both subjective or objective. For example, poor hygiene and a bad attitude are major deal-breakers. Maybe you're overbooked and can't accept new clients, or you feel uncomfortable in the company of a particular client, so it's reasonable to turn him down.

Before any decision, you must know what is best for you and your career, as well as what you're comfortable with. 

Here, at Escort Rankings, we believe it is always good to improve and learn new things, so we prepared some tips and advice for you.

Genuinely Listen to The Client's Request

Let's say you are in the middle or at the very beginning of a booking process with a client, and you realize you have to turn him down because you simply can't deliver what he requires. In this situation, before you do anything, let him know that you hear and understand him but it's just not possible for the reasons (that you'll state).

If you show no understanding, and you simply shut him down, you'll burn the bridge, and the rejection probably won't be received warmly. If you feel the need to explain the reason, you can do it, but don't feel obliged to do so. It is your job and your decision. 

Be a Professional

Being professional doesn't mean just working in perfect conditions and dealing with perfect scenarios. It also means you can work under pressure, deal with unpleasant situations and circumstances, solve problems, and make the best out of any situation. It is not easy, but that is why only a true professional can handle it.

If the situation requests you to decline service, as a professional, you should know how to do it, and keep your status. Be clear, be calm, be convincing, but kind. Give a brief explanation for your rejection but do it in a way so that they see it's nothing personal. 

As an escort, you have well-developed social skills, and you know how to read a client. Listen to his voice, or read between the lines, and find the best way to give a negative answer if needed. There are many ways to say no, but never a good enough reason not to say it if necessary. 

Avoid being arrogant, even if the client starts asking for more explanations or begging you to meet him. You can always use a little white lie in such situations to calm them down.

Ghosting, Rude or Not?

Ghosting someone is rarely a solution to any situation. Though, there are a few situations where ghosting can be your only exit from an unpleasant conversation. Let's assume you have a client or a request you can't or don't want to meet. Ignoring a question, message or request is not only a bad way to deal with it, but it can also negatively affect your business. Just like escorts have a community and stay in touch protecting each other, so do clients.

Ghosting a client can lead to a negative review and potentially damage your reputation and turn off future clients. A better way is to answer the question, or a request and refuse it as kindly as possible. By doing so, a client can't be mad about it, and even if he writes an honest review, he can only say you politely declined to provide the service.

Reasons to ghost a client are if he shows dangerous behaviour, he is stalking you or doesn't respect your privacy and ignores your polite rejection. Blocking that type of client and keeping your distance is a smart move.

Use the Same Communication Channel

When clients want to book you, they need to reach you first. In case you want to turn down a client but you are wondering should you make a call, send an email, an SMS, or voice message, the best way is to respond by using the same method as the client used in the first place. If he sent you an SMS, it's ok to respond by SMS. But if he called you, the only respectful and gentle way is to call him back. Responding to a call with an SMS is rude and seems unprofessional.

Are You Turning Them Down Forever or Just Temporarily?

As an escort, you'll meet different clients and find yourself in different situations. Sometimes, you'll have to turn down a client and decline your company and services permanently, and other times, you'll do it because of a tight schedule at the moment.

In any case, it's important to be clear and to make sure your client understands if you declined him forever or not.

The most common reasons for turning down a client for good are a bad temper, inappropriate or aggressive behaviour, not following the rules and agreement, and disrespecting an escort's boundaries.

However, sometimes even the good and desirable clients get turned down because you're just too busy. It's just the nature of the business, and it happens. Clients have to face the fact that you are not available 24/7, and you can't always say yes. Be professional, apologize for the inconvenience, and briefly explain the reason you can't meet him on his chosen date (but don't over-explain it). You can also state another date when you'll be available for booking if you want.

In any case, will you be completely honest or not, it's up to you. If it's a personal matter, don't go into details. It is better to make up some other viable reason for declining/postponing a booking. 

However, if your dinner date booking overlapped with another client who asked for your companionship for, let's say, a trip, and you decided on that option, it's better to come up with some white lie and postpone a dinner date, than to tell the truth. You'll offend him (and most probably lose him as a client) and you'll gain a negative review. The best solution is to avoid overlapping bookings, even by mistake.

Find Out How Other Escorts Do it

It's always wise to stay in touch with the escort community. It is not a shame to ask other escorts for advice on this matter. However, you'll find many hints and answers in clients' reviews.

If you know how clients think, it will be easier for you to act and respond accordingly to the situation. Escort Rankings is the largest escort review and rating site, so you'll find escorts to connect with, and clients' reviews in one place.
