What can I expect as a professional Escort? As an Escort, you will be expected to accompany Clients to a variety of functions, from dinner dates to an evening at the races; from parties to the theatre; from an Opera to a quiet night out. You will also have the opportunity to travel extensively (optional) as we offer worldwide service. This can mean anything from a weekend in Paris to a month in a 5 Star resort in the Caribbean - all paid. A question that we get asked a lot is "Am i expected to have sex with the clients?" The answer is simple - you ARE NOT expected to have sex with the clients.

Looks and age are not important because, in our experience, one Client´s needs will differ to the next, looking for different qualities in their ideal companion.

Like anything really, the secret is not what your background is or where your are from, but how much you want to succeed.

If you can say yes to the following then the chances are you will be perfect.

Are you sociable and friendly?
Do you like having fun?
Do you feel comfortable in new places?

What experience do I need?
The simple answer is that you do not need any previous Escorting experience. Escorts that are new to the business choose Platinum Select because of the service we provide. We recommend our Escort Package for Escorts that are new to the industry.

As already mentioned - the successful Escort does not need to be a model or have film star looks - not at all! In fact, most of our Clients are looking for regular people with whom they can feel more comfortable.

I am already an Independent Escort...

How often will I work?
Most of our Escorts operate on a part-time basis as the majority of appointments are in the evening or at weekends.

If you are sociable and fun loving then this is a great way to earn a lot of money whilst enjoying yourself at someone else´s expense - but at the end of the day, you decide how much you work.

We have the most aggressive advertising campaign (Over £20,000 per month) in the industry so you can be assured of maxim exposure to maximise your Escorting opportunities.

Where we advertise - we get about 25% new Escorts through 'word of mouth' each month - so the service must be working!!

Why do we charge Members? - IMPORTANT
All our members have to pay a nominal amount with either a credit or debit card to see your details which shows us that they are serious about wanting an Escort. This way you will only be contacted by Members that will honour their commitments as they have already paid a small membership fee. Don't be fooled by other companies that don't take payment from members as their Escorts receive a lot of prank calls and are frequently let down.

Their records are on file, as are their contact details which is our free security check that you, the self employed Escort, will have done by Platinum Select on your behalf.

How are appointments arranged?
There are two ways in which notification will take place.

1. The Client will call you directly using the contact number/email you have given us.
2. Via Platinum Select using the contact number/email you have given us.

In both instances, as much notice will be given as possible. Most Escorts operate from mobile phones, but they are not essential and you can always be assured of full discretion and confidentiality.

IMPORTANT
You can always say yes or no to any proposed meeting as the most important factor is that you feel comfortable and safe.
