The only way this
could work was if a large number of the session clients organised themselves into a pool, a buyers club so to speak.
1. It would need to be large enough to actually make a difference. In other words a
significant proportion of the overall bookings in the market would need to be through this club.
2. It would need to be the pool which books and pays for the sessions. Which means that:
a) People would need to join it with their real-life details; and
b) Pay the session money to the club
c) There would need to be some photo ID which would be shown to the session provider otherwise anyone could book a session for their non-member friend
3. There could be a benefit to the session providers in giving some assurance that the booking was genuine and of a certain quality (assuming there were joining criteria and expulsion sanctions for miscreants)
4. The pool would probably need to be incorporated and have insurance as it would be liable for anything the members did.
5. There would need to be a fee to cover costs as no doubt this would require significant amounts of time to administer. Would these clients who seek to reduce the fee be willing to pay 10% or 15% surcharge to the pool?
I can't see how this could ever work in practice.
