A profound business principle is commonly attributed to Mohandas Gandhi. We’ll just assume it was Gandhi for the sake of argument. (For the real story, read to the end and follow the link.)
Our beloved Mistress Ally sent the wonderful statements to all of us Mistresses at LDW, reminding us who really is The Boss.
Who IS the Boss?
And that is YOU! Our amazing clients.
I won’t speak for LDW or any other Mistresses, but will speak from my heart.
I have only been here since June 2015, but being with you guys and gals and others has been some of the most wonderful fun for me. I feel so blessed to have found my way to LDW and her clients.
So, while I know others join me in the same beliefs, I want to, personally, thank you for being here for and with us. You give us a reason to show up each day!
You all are an extreme delight, are endlessly fascinating and, I know for me at least, give me a run for my money intellectually-wise. You keep me on my pretty pedicured toes!
Here is the principle:
We couldn’t have written it any better if we’d have crafted it ourselves.
Thank you for coming to LDW! We are forever grateful.

Oh my – see that is exactly why I like LDW and why I have ranted against the likes of so many companies, because in today’s climate so many companies put their shareholders before their customers, as if it is their purpose in life to raise the stock a few cents even if it means screwing their customers over. It’s a business attitude that is getting more common and more brazen.
LDW has never been like that, and that is exactly why I love it so much. And why I have never called another phonesex company even though I have been tempted to on occasion. I always asked myself what is their customer service like if there is a problem? And the truth is, LDW is the only one where I have seen *and experienced* real evidence that they do put the customer first.
There’s the satisfaction guarantee, there’s obvious access to live support (well during business hours), there’s EE.
When Google says “Don’t be evil” it is just lip service. But with LDW, when they say they put the customer first, they aren’t fucking around – they really mean it.
As always, LOVE hearing your thoughts, Alice! Thank you! I am SO glad you are here, too! You are awesome.
Daphne, that is one of my favorite quotes and I have to say I adore this post. LDW is hands down the classiest most amazing adult company I’ve ever known and I hear about lots of them. We are all fortunate to have such amazing guys and ladies to hang out with. <3
And working with YOU is crazy wonderful, too, Ms. Cassidy! I am SO happy you are here!
Thank you for commenting! mwuah
Nicely stated, Daphne. We consider this all the time in dispatch and we do appreciate every Caller. And we appreciate each and every one of the Mistresses who are all so wonderful and great to work with. I value each of you.
Dallas, you, too, are so appreciated. You work SO hard for our clients (and US!). I couldn’t thank you enough for being the first line of contact with our clients… making their experience so fantastic.
Thank you!!!
I love this post – I love our company – I love our boss lady – I love all of the other Mistresses – and I LOVE our clients! This is truly a community. I’ve been here for SIX years (next month is my anniversary) and I have always felt that gratitude; like I have been so blessed to get to work in this LDW universe.
Love fest over.
Ok. Never over!
S
Never over is right!!!
It is SO good to hear from someone who’s been here much longer than I that I got into a most amazing company early on, not having to tear and claw my way through other companies.
And, it IS because of our clients, then Ally, the office/support staff, Dispatch and the Mistresses… all spokes on a wheel.
Thank you, Ms. Scarlet!
Wonderful post, Ms Daphne. And this is why I just cannot stay away. I’ve worked in all kinds of companies, in all kinds of industries, and LDW is by far the absolute best. You have expressed this beautifully.
Melanie
And, Ms. Melanie! We are so, SO happy to have you back!! Welcome home!
This is a GREAT post, Ms. Daphne!!
It is so true about this quote. All of it is! This is something I have seen at a regular burger place around town. They too have been inspired by the quote, and I will say I go there not just for the lettuce wrap, but mostly for the great customer service and quality!
And here it is the same! We all strive for quality. This is what makes LDW truly a wonderful place to be!
Delia
Yes, YES, Ms. Delia! I love that you already knew the quote, too. Awesome!
Clearly, you think of the client first… I know that first-hand doing 2-Mistress calls with you (something I love doing!).
Thank you for caring about our clients as much as so many others of us do!
So very true Daphne and thank you for posting this. LDW definitely is the best when it comes to the ladies here, whether mistresses, dispatchers, live help, everyone has been and continue to be wonderful. I do believe you are lost if you don’t care about your customers. Thank you again. 😀
You bet, Ms. Brighton!! And it is so much fun being here with you! I know, because I hear, how wonderful your clients think you are. I love knowing other Mistresses are awesome with our guys/gals/others!
Thank YOU!
I’ve been a loyal LDW customer for a while now. I so appreciate all the customer care I receive. I truly appreciate all of those who so diligently answer my initial call, and promptly and diligently work to put my call through in dispatch. And what else can I add to Your comments about the Mistresses, except, i’m glad You’re here.
My dear kneel!
Thank you for weighing in on LDW as well. Your experienced opinion means SO much!
And, as you know personally, I am glad YOU are here, too! You are much appreciated.
