Actually I couldn't disagree with you more.. It all depends on how you articulate yourself in the context of how you use that person's name my friend. By using somebody's name as a recommendation, it sets a much higher tone and a different precedence with the provider as there is a possibility of creating a much more comfortable atmosphere if you have never seen that provided before. Obviously , this is in no way a guarantee of a reduced price or better service, however, redundantly speaking you are creating I'm more favorable setting for a provider you've never seen before, at the same time, you're actually doing credit to the person's name you're using as the provider nay feel that the person's name being used is giving her more business therefore may show that particular person a greater appreciation during their next appointment. This is a business just like any other business, any like any other business and most of the time it's who you know not what you know so mentioning a name that the provider is familiar with or may have a long-term association with can definitely go a long way. Maybe in your world you see it as a dick move because you can't see through the business aspect of it. I see it as doing smart business with somebody I've never met before, using it as an icebreaker. These women meet strange men on a daily basis and take risks everyday. If I can use somebody's name to make them feel more comfortable with me, therefore potentially providing me a better experience, and it's actually a smart move, especially when it comes to a scenario like mongering.
