A Good Bye Photo from Marie

It is with a horribly heavy heart that I am writing this; the time has come for me to take a step away from Angels4You as its manager. I will be handing the Angel4You phone back to Sue today and returning to my ‘normal’ life.

Something that Sue has always been 100% honest with me from the start is the amount of time, energy and work involved in running an escort agency. Of course, the obvious part of the work is giving lots of time to our girls and lovely clients. However the real killer is the internet marketing; this is a constant full-time job in itself. Internet marketing within the adult industry is extremely difficult and time-consuming and I have found that over the last few months I simply cannot give Angels4You what it needs to get it a noticeable enough ranking on Google.

I have had to re-think my commitments and this has left me with a multitude of feelings. This industry has been a part of my life now for nearly 4 years and I will without a doubt miss it.  What will I mainly miss?  Mostly that I have lost my guilty, pleasurable secret, and therefore lost my confident strut! I am going to have to be ‘normal’ now and I know that I am left with a feeling of the world shifting from underneath me – I have to reassess my own status in life.

Escorting can be life altering. When you are an ‘in control escort’ the experience can be one of fun and empowerment. Indeed, all of our wonderful Leeds and Manchester escorts agree on having this feeling and it is something else that I will miss being involved in. However I will give you a word of warning; please read the rest of Sue’s Diary and you will see that escorting can be life altering for all of the wrong reasons. If you enter into this industry for making a quick buck then I can guarantee that fun and empowerment will be some the last feelings that you will encounter.

I know that I am so going to miss our fantastic Leeds and Manchester escorts and our lengthy conversations on the phone when we put the world to rights.  I also know that I am going to miss chatting to all of you lovely clients at all hours!

Angels4You has taught me a lot. I know that I have grown professionally and emotionally.  Being able to deal with all manner of challenges is a core skill learnt through managing team members and our clients.  I also know a heck of lot about internet marketing and how not to be taken in by SEO ‘experts’ promising me the moon on a stick!

As you know, no job is entirely perfect and there is certainly one thing that I definitely will not miss. Can you guess what? I will definitely not miss having to answer the phone to idiots who ring me up expecting to get one of our Angels4You team-members out at the drop of a hat, you know the sort – the guys who haven’t bothered to read the website and who demand ‘services’. Also you silly texters will not be missed – with your rude, unpunctuated, illegible ‘text speak’.

I will now be focussing all of my energies in the big bad world of sales – who knows? Maybe someday I will get my strut back?

Note from Sue :

Marie has taken a decision that is right for her at her time of her emotional and professional development.  My heart is heavy on a lot of fronts and not least because so many people do believe that the setting up an escort agency will be a cure all answer to financial concerns.  Marie found quickly that Angels is run on principles and not financial gain and that the labour of love to keep rankings is exactly that – a labour of love and I will certainly be having to take up more of the reigns again in the short-term future.

I know that Marie and I will remain in touch and her ability to have looked after all the girls and our clients over the last 14 months has been welcomed by all the team and I really do regret her feeling that this decision has to be taken, however, Marie has more of a personal life than I do and having family commitments along with a working career means that hobbies for the love of them cannot be given as much time as I can do with no real family commitments (although none of us have infinite time for hobbies unfortunately).

Looking for a new manager for Angels will certainly be on the agenda but Marie was unusual and despite having been in the industry for 3 years in a more traditional role, she was wonderfully susceptive to change and was the right person to develop Angels in the way she has for the last year.  I am so sorry to see her go.

For anyone expecting that setting up an agency is an easy task I have no doubt Marie will tell you that if you have the money to pay someone else to market and you can trust these people to not just send out silly words and dross then you will be able to have more phone calls and ultimately more bookings.  For an agency like Angels4You that lives in the high end, principled marketplace, it will always be a labour of love and not a money-making exercise so if anyone sees that Angels is looking for a manager, applications are always welcomed but you will have to convince me you have staying power and good reason for wanting to live by principles that I hold dear.

Angels4You is continuing but there will be some changes in contact being brought in to ensure that I can continue with my full-time work and my hobby but, after nearly 10 years in the industry – am I leaving it?  Am I chuff!!! This is my baby and whilst babies grow up into children and subsequently adults, they never leave the fold fully – we are family Angels and me!
