Take 5, getting back to its former glory

[Scotty from Marketing]

Thanks Scotty! ��
That was exceptionally detailed historical overview!

This Pam sounds like an incredible HR trainer for the industry! Her problem seems to be due to the previous sex laws where she was operating in the dark….

I wonder if this Pam will come back now since Queensland now decriminalized sex work, they can now operate in open without getting harassed or shutdown by the police. Pam seems to have a winning formula all she has to do is to train new crops of new recruits and it will be a money printing machine….

I think I have seen a lot of setups. Last one I was really happy with was “Happy Soothing Massage“ at Stones Corner. And that setup was at a very rundown house, and the room had mattress on the floor! But the MLs were all great, some of the best I had. Their massage were also top notch being properly trained Thai masseuses. Unfortunately that shop was closed a month before decriminalization took effect.

I don’t think it takes that much to start up a shop if you got the right training regime and the right people. “The formula” is pretty simple and they are being replicated hundreds if not thousands of times down south at Sydney and Melbourne. They got hundreds if not thousands good shop down there. Brisbane seriously needs to catchup to the southern states…. We can only count good shops or MLs with ONE HAND….thats just sad.

There are plenty of good mls around brisbane, just not all at the same place.
There are several shops that are very professionally run, all offering service on different levels.

But none are a patch on 932 Stanley st.
Btw Pam is still there as a sole operator. She still has a sparkle in her eye, but age is undefeated.
I doubt she wants the hassle of starting again. Once youve been on top of Mount Everest, its hard to start from the ground up. Police wont give her an inch, regardless of current laws. They dont like to be made fools of.

It is a big time investment to train ladies to do this work to the standard required in Brisbane.

They need loyalty from the ladies, a willingness to do anything with the next guy that walks through the door and potentially humiliate themselves on an hourly basis.
Girls were loyal to Pam cause they earned good money. It was a busy shop. But they also feared crossing Pam.
The Bikies were very loyal to Pam.

Happy Soothing was good, but the girls had most if their money taken by the pimp. They had to screenshot every piece of money that crossed their hands. He also failed to replenish the quality of staff. Poor quality kills a business like that.

So many shops have new girls starting who dont have a clue and learn bad habits. Guys with motives get their hands on them.
Many shops have girls of any quality out of desperation to fill a roster.

I could name good shops, but that would be unfair. Each has a flaw though.
Shop 1 - Has lovely ladies, who are happy, pleasant and nice. But service options are limited for most of the staff
Shop 2 - Is well run and has a high floor for good options, but not the top options. They are professional, reasonably priced and few leave disappointed. But if you see a girl, odds are you wont get fs
Shop 3 - Is getting a lot of young and attractive girls who do reasonably quality service, but there are senior staff who control the manager. The manager here is willing, but has too many other outside interests to concentrate on this business. He tries to please everybody. He needs to learn to be an arsehole
Shop 4 - This manager does a good job of poaching the best girls from other shops.
He runs a tight ship, but the turnover makes it difficult. Perhaps overpriced in comparison to others.
Shop 5 - One of the most experienced operators around. Has a solid client base who expect quality. Poor performers are turfed reasonably quickly. But the girls can be rather impersonal and most lack the ability to be nice.
Shop 6 - Quality control at this chain seems to have slipped of late, but the shop usually has young and attractive. Problem is you dont know what service you can expect from when you walk in the door.
Shop 7 - The owner is hands off to a degree and lets high quality mls run the show. But they try and impose their pricing on other mls who could earn more elsewhere. Not all here provide quality service, but the stars do. Problem is if they leave the shop goes to shit.

Several other shops worth looking at closer too.

To replicate Pams success, an owner needs to get new girls and train the shit out of them to ensure they dont see customers until they are ready. this requires an investment of time with a high failure rate.
The girls need to be attractive, smart and willing to look in the mirror and go “fuck you”.
The money comes once the base is built.
Facilities need to be top notch.
Shitty customers need to be pissed off.
Security needs to be present to deal with bad customers and ensure mls safety.
The owner has to be feared and the mos need to know exactly where they stand and not constantly be guessing whats going on.
No matter what base you build, if you do not have girls that can please 90-95% of their customers, its pointless.

The bikies at 932 ensured a strong customer base, but one that attracted unwarranted attention. Its also difficult to control this kind of customer group.

BTW, is Red still the manager of Take5? I thought she left and this is under a different management?

No, there were a bunch of incidents at the shop and Red just had enough. Retired as far as Im aware.
There have been two ownerships since, maybe 3, including the current one.
