Here is a line that I use when I get custies that just want to talk and ask a bunch of questions: When they ask a question, I say, "Oh, that's a personal question, and that will cost you five bucks for each one." --wait for it to set in, smile, wink, and then say, "but if you get a dance with me, I include question for free." This gets a laugh, it gets them curious, and always gets me dances, quickly! It is also a polite reminder that my time is money. A lot of times I can usually up grade to a VIP with this. Hope this helps.
I like that approach. Good way to avoid or at least distract the customer from getting in my business.

WOW. I've been thinking to myself recently that I wanted to read all of Chrissy and Emily's hustling tips, and lo and behold I landed on this thread. Everything in here is absolutely brilliant!

I have a terrible memory, so if a big spender tells me stuff about himself and I want to remember it, I'll write it down when I'm in the dressing room (I'm a dork). If he gives me his business card, I'll write info like where he's from, his hobbies, what kind of car he has or music he likes, etc. on the back of the card (not in front of him of course! hehe :D ) Then he's impressed that I remember stuff about him, like Chrissy said. Then the custy thinks we don't just see him as a dollar sign.
I don't see this as dorky at all - just really good business practices. :)

*if someone says maybe later, they might mean that. be sure to return and remember ^.
Thank goodness I read this thread before starting at my club. Had I not read it, I would have assumed that I was rejected "nicely" and not returned. However, I kept returning to the guys who said "maybe later." With one guy, he said yes on my third loop back to him, and he tipped me nicely too. Another guy also said yes on my second loop back to him.
Coming back to people who said no to me initially felt pushy and rude to me, but now it's okay (as long as I'm reading the vibes halfway decently).
Chrissy68

yeah, definitely. a lot of times maybe later means just that. however, it's all in our approach too! certain girls that i've seen working (or even read about their actions on here) have an attitude when they get rejected. like, almost a "wtf, look at me? you're missing out" kind of tude. but if you are smiley, friendly, and happy-go-lucky almost, you're sure to make more than with a tude. (at least in my experience.)
a good line i use is:
"let's go have some fun"
"mmm, maybe later.."
"ok, i'll be back to drag you away for naked time!" (wink smile coyly whatever cute facial expression you can do)
and when you return,
"i'm here to force you to have a naked girl on top of you, oh the horror!" grab his hand and smile, start walking.
or
you come back a 2nd time, he says come back later, and you then say, ok, when i come back, we're going to have fun. make SURE he says yeah we will.
on your return, "let's do it! since you told me to come back, i did, i follow directions well. (wink coy smile whatever) now let's get me naked!"

Love it. You're pointing out that they kind of already agreed to it, or at least left the option open for you to return, so by pointing it out they feel like dicks and may think "ehh what the hell, she's so nice anyway I might as well".
Thumbs up!

I got directed over here and I'm really glad that I took the time to read this entire thread, along with some of the other ones.
I was feeling very self-conscious ITC and would walk away from talking to someone without even asking for a dance because the transition felt awkward. Now I know it's the question that makes it awkward. It was making me feel vulnerable because it's easy to say no.
I got so many ideas from spending all day on Hustle Hut! I'm hoping this weekend I'll be able to start working on some of the methods I think will work for me.
THANKS CHRISSY68!

Chrissy - I have a question.... So lets say you get a guy back to the private rooms. Now of course you have him pay up front... but how do you ask for the money without it bing akward? And what if you get a punk (you know the type... usually the younger guys) that's like "oh i didn't know it cost money".... what do you do then?
And I really like how you don't ask because that makes it more open for a "no" response... but what if they ask you how much it is... whats the best way to handle all of the questions that are really just forms of hesitation?
..... and if you don't mind.... what books would you recommend to help improve sales?
Thank you soooo much! You really are on it! Your really good!!! Great tips!

Awww shucks guys,,, thanks. ;D
I'd totally recommend Joe Girard's How to Sell anything to Anyone.
As for payment: Several lines can work. Honestly, I never tried (operative word being "tried") to bring a guy to a VIP dance that wasn't money-looking. By this I mean in the way he's dressed. I know I covered that in this thread, but I am tired so I'm not gonna go look, but hopefully you'll get what I mean. Anyways, I didn't always get paid up front, because I often trusted the guys I was with and WAS HONEST AND UP FRONT WITH THEM. I capped that because it's seriously important, no one likes to be ambushed with a price. That's when you get punks who are all... "Whoa whoa whoa.. I didn't know it was THAT much!"
Anyways, cute lines that worked best for me, in getting paid up front:
"Let's get the money out of the way so we can really have fun!"
"I hate talking money, let's just get that out of the way so we can have fun!/so I can get naked already!"
No prob guys, I am glad to help with mah stripper wisdom. heh.

Yeah, it's totally your confidence level that's hurting you. Pep talk Tempest. I mean it, Pep up in the mirror on your way to work, "I am the hottest bitch in this club. I WILL take their money, and THEY WONT say no to me. How can they? I'm the hottest woman in this club." Mantra. Make it work for you. When you then hit the floor, you will KNOW in your walk and in your aura that you're the hottest there and tha tyou need to be popping the question often. And remember, the one thing you need to know above all else: If they say no, it's NOT a reflection on you. It's a reflection on your pitch and on their mood.
Mantra: It's their loss. And instead of walking away with nothing, ask for a tip... "Aww, are you SURE you don't want me naked on top of you? Oh well. But I'm sure you'd like to grace my boobies with some money! (hold out shirt expectedly)".

Thanks, that sounds good. I used some of these tips the last time I worked and it went well.
I walk with confidence. I have an air of the baddest bitch in the club. But when it comes to actually opening my mouth and asking for dances - I got nothing. LOL
I am working on it. :-[

god i hate those "maybe later" guys...get em all the time. Pet peeve of mine, i'm a hustler but i'm tellin ya out here in hawaii its hard cuz everyones just cruizin @ my club, alot of locals look @ it as more of a sports bar. When they say maybe later, just say thank you for your time & smile & walk away. Any more time spent is a waste & their just gonna say it over & over again. To these guys a maybe later means no thanks but like most guys they can't just say no, so of course they leave you hangin.

This is a GREAT thread!!! I have been dancing for a quite a few years and I have totally been all blah!! I feel i am one of those good hustlers, and present myself well, but lately I have felt totally out of it! Over it, and just plain....hhaaaaaaaaa!!! I have allowed the lousy custys that have been coming in there recently just totally get to me! I feel rejuvenated with these posts, TY Crissy!!! I am totally remotivated!!! (Not to mention, took a week off to get over my funk! haha) TY TY TY !!!!

*strong handshake!
depends on how strong you're talking about. I wouldn't agree "strong" handshake is best. I WOULD agree to tell you ladies don't be a limp wrist aka dead fish hand. shake normally, but not too strong, because that will scare off customers. remember, they want a lady to be a lady, even if she is taking off her clothes for money, and strong handshakes are not so feminine. use your father or bf or best friend or random guy on the street and ask him for feedback on your handshake if you think yours is too strong. but really, this is NOT a focal point of hustling. ABC is.
stripdwn, glad to be of service. ;) weeks off definitely help with burn out biggggtime.

I have been out of dancing for a a few years and I just started back recently. Yesterday I started a new club and tried some of the suggestions on this thread and OMG they totally work. One worth mentioning is going back to guys when they have said "maybe later". In the past I took this comment as a nice way of saying "get lost" but yesterday I heard it from 3 guys and I went back to all 3 later and every one of them ended up getting dances. THANK YOU!!!! You guys are awesome:P

The guys that spend hours with me in the champagne rooms aren't the ones that want me to dance the whole time, they're the ones that will only get time with me because I make them feel speacial. Some of my customers even tell me when other girls offer them "extras" and tell me which girl did it not because they want to be a rat, but because they want me to know that no matter what they won't leave me for another girl. They tell me how awsome I am and how that girl must of thought they were pathetic and had to buy sex. If you make they feel like your their freind and that you respect them and won't accept anything other than respect, they will remember you and become very loyal. They veiw you as thier freind (a very expensive friend) and want to help you out. Hope that helps give people ideas on how to get some really good regulars once you get a dance or two.

Great posts ladies!! TY. Now a question for you. What do you do when you walk up to a group of guys and one of them chats you up for a bit but then they start talking amongst themselves and ignoring you?
kattitude
08-01-2008, 09:41 PM
I find the key to groups is to attack them as a whole, and get them to nominate each other for dances - because we know men always buckle under peer pressure!
So maybe as he turned away, stand up and get the attention of the group and ask them if they think their friend needs the attention of a naked young lady?
Or ask the group who they think needs a lap dance/wants to be molested the most? And if it's a stag do, he'll be catapulted right into the VIP room!

If they ignore you, go away, because you're wasting your time. But in a group, it's best to attack the person staring at you as you approach, or if no one is, go to the person who looks like your typical customer.

*always always always mention VIP to each and every customer who buys a dance. if they are hemming and hawing, BARGAIN. "if you'd rather be back there, i won't charge you for this song." "no you can decide at the end of this song. it's quite the deal to get a free lap dance!" if you do this, work out a system with the bouncer in charge of the lap dance room. i used to tip the collection guy at my old club once for the entire night where i'd bargain. sometimes i still had to pay the $5 but what's a $5 hit when you get a hell of a lot more in VIP?
This helped me alot! thanks so much!

For those of you who work multiple clubs/don't keep a routine schedule:
What I did recently is made some good quality business cards.
On the front is a beautiful peach colord daisy with
"to view my schedule www.myspace.com/jewelshelly"
On the back (so noone gets the wrong idea) is an X-ray of a hand with 2 broken bones and in small print "no touching". Then I just update my schedule every 2 weeks on the myspace account. I give the cards to anyone who buys dances or tips more than usual on my stages. I'll let you guys know how well it works.
This can work as long as you show the card to management first and they OK it. Otherwise, THEY might get the wrong idea.

**boyfriends: just dont let them into the club when you work. they will distract you. you will not be focused on the hustle but instead on them. they may get jealous or possessive. they may flirt with other girls and that may piss you off. really, a BAD bad bad idea.
i think that's it. i'll repost with more if i think of them but i think i've covered everything lol. feel free to add any tips :)[/QUOTE]
I disagree on the boyfriend issue. I have a slightly different relationship with my b-friend than mos. He's completely understanding and dosen't get jealous. With that being said, it actually help especially on a slow night when he's there. If i don't have any bites, i sit with him for a while instead of looking bored. They can tell we age enjoying eachothers company (obvoiusly not knowing he connection) and suddenly I get asked as soon as i get up from sitting with him. It works well.

Sorry, bf's in the club are a bad idea even if it keeps your mood up, it's not fair to your coworkers. We don't need anymore lurkers in there not spending. Also, other girls might waste their time trying to hustle him. If they know it's him, who's to say that they won't tell other customers that he's your bf?
You wouldn't hang out at your bf's job would you? I doubt your mans employer would allow it. Imagine hanging around your mans office all day? Yeah, doesn't work. You should be able to work on your own without the need of someone to coddle you when it's slow.
Very unprofessional, even if he's not the jealous type, it's not about your relationship it's about the club dynamic. Bad idea and it's one of my biggest pet peeves with newbs.

Agreed. Even if they're going to buy a few dances that night, it's a waste of space.

Possible addition to Chrissy's list (from customer standpoint): How you carry yourself and relate to one customer will be observed by others.
When I am ready for dances I pay more attention to the girls making the rounds. Usually when a dancer approaches I have noticed her on the floor previously, and may even have decided that she is interesting -- or not interesting -- based on what I have seen. Some have a friendly, confident "aura" around them -- smiling, touching -- that is very appealing (at least to me). That, plus looks, can get a dancer most of the way to a sale before she arrives. Others show signs that are offputting. Acting out when told no, pushing a customer who is clearly not interested, looking bored with the customer -- all get me to thinking "no" even before asked.
I'm sure some of this is my own taste, but maybe the more general point is to remember that how you treat one customer may affect your chances with others.

On slower nights I will usually call my boyfriend in to work to help encourage tippers. Most guys are super competitive, so when they see him at my stage showering me in singles, 9 times out of 10 someone else will come over and do the same. Its really helpful to also have some sort of contact to give out to potential regulars so you can call them in on bad nights as well. I have a pre-pay phone that is specificly used for this. All my personal info is still secure...but my custys can still be in touch. OH and leave your schedule every week on the voice mail. That way on days off when you dont wanna deal with it, they know when you work next. Ive noticed thats usually the reason they call anyways. :)

VIP dances cost the same as on the floor, the custies just have to pay to get a band to get the more private area.
Champagne rooms are $100/15 min, two hundred for half hour and three hundred for an hour
but this includes our time and our conversation and all dances everything is prepaid plus the club takes seventy five out of the three hundred fifty out of the two hundred and twenty five out of the one hundred
so is it worth it? to give a discount dance yes but to give a free one i dont think so
Wow! At ours, it's $125 for a 5 song & $200 for a 12 song (both are a half hour) & both include the conversation & champagne. For a 3 song preview it's $50 but then the club takes $30 from that 50. I haven't sold a 5 song or a 12 song yet, so I can't remember how much they take fromt hose. We're also required to sell a preview every shift otherwise $25 is added to our house fee. VIP dances are $10 for bikini & $15 for topless & they take $5 from that. I must work at a cheap club? The custy's are assholes too.

One of the things that I can't stand about the "maybe later" is that when you go up to them 3 times (my boss says after 3 stop trying), & they keep saying they're not ready, but then you walk away & later see them going into vip with another dancer. It makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong or that i'm terribly ugly. :( I need to learn some game because the "maybe laters" never work out for me.

I feel this way too. I'd say the "maybe later" issue is one of my biggest. I get told that alot on my bad nights, and always, almost ALWAYS a girl will walk up right after me and off to VIP they go. I need to figure out how to nip this in the bud. Last night, for example, was a BIG "maybe later" night. If I would have sold a dance to every ML I heard, I would have walked with double the money I made.
I still really think that alot of guys use this as a line. Then again, alot of guys really do mean it. It's a toss up.

That is soooo true. I've noticed that VIP marathons I've had have always been with one of the non-askers. Usually if they ask, they spend wayyyy less time back there.

We get quite a few international people at my club, and when I meet someone from a different country I ask them to teach me how to say hello in their language. One night, a couple of Italian guys came in who barely spoke English. Every dancer went up to them and were unsuccessful in getting a dance. Even though they were really looking for sex, because I went up to them and said good evening in Italian, they both went for dances with me with hardly any selling on my part. People really appreciate you taking the time out to speak their language or when you know a bit about their culture. Also if someone comes from a country I know little about, I wikipedia it, and then am armed with a few facts about their country for the next time around. They are so impressed when I do that! I think it's interesting to learn about other cultures anyway. Hope this helps :)

01-31-2009, 01:19 PM
^^That's true. Everytime I have a custy who doesn't speak english, I'll bust out in whatever language I need. I can carry on a convo in spanish, and I can at least say hello in japanese, and french, and sing the alphabet in italian. I've gotta learn a few more.

That is super cheap. Where on earth do you work?
As for the foreign language/history tip, that's a really good one. Even if it's only one or two facts about their country, if you show off with those (rather than saying "doesn't your country have [stereotype]?" which will annoy most people) you'll be in their good graces.

I've only done two shifts so far, and one was back in October. The other was last week. First time I did great! But this time around, I put up with a lot more shit for a lot less.
I may have to try these tips though. Thanks Chrissy! Hopefully this week I will do a lot better (even with the obstacle of VDay. Does that usually help or hinder business?). Or at the very least, not let the assholes get to me as much, and I can just juice them for what little they're worth (I swear the few bucks is more than their character.)
How about if there's only one customer and you're not on stage? What's a good way to get dances from him without taking business from an other girl and making an enemy at work that may cost you more than you make? Do I just keep it mild, "Hi, I'm Lilith. Enjoying yourself?" while giving a glance to the current dancer (keeping his current attention on her), and just place a hand on his shoulder? Or is that all a bad idea?
And as for BFs in the club. If they're easygoing and personal drama won't happen between you two, how about if he's there with a group of friends? This way other dancers get business too, and he's more like a customer you know better? Provided none of the employees know. (And yes, I do hang out with him at his job all the time, I just make sure not to get in the way, and usually help him out. I'm the undercover underage-drinking catcher :D)
The guys that spend hours with me in the champagne rooms aren't the ones that want me to dance the whole time, they're the ones that will only get time with me because I make them feel speacial. Some of my customers even tell me when other girls offer them "extras" and tell me which girl did it not because they want to be a rat, but because they want me to know that no matter what they won't leave me for another girl. They tell me how awsome I am and how that girl must of thought they were pathetic and had to buy sex. If you make they feel like your their freind and that you respect them and won't accept anything other than respect, they will remember you and become very loyal. They veiw you as thier freind (a very expensive friend) and want to help you out. Hope that helps give people ideas on how to get some really good regulars once you get a dance or two.
I started dancing a little more than a month ago and I already agree with this strongly. Gain a guys respect, show him respect, and become his "friend" and I think he's more likely to get a dance or two from you. This was my approach from the beginning and it seems to be working. I already have a couple regulars! Great advice...right on girls!

*when you see a large group, find one who is lookign at you, and sell him a dance. make it the best you can possibly give, and make sure he knows to tell his friends. give it 5 minutes before going back to that group, and go up to the guy talking to the one you danced for and ask him for a dance. chances are the one you danced for will practically sell it for you.
I've been trying this one out and it works like a charm!! last night I sold 3 extra dances because two different guys were like "hey buddy you need a dance from her! she wants to give you a dance and they're HOT!"

Always always make sure you remember little details about the person it makes them feel special which is ultimately what you want to do. When you are spending time with him/her that person should feel like the most important person/people in the room.
Set a date with the customer. " So I'll see you Wednesday night at 9p?" It puts the idea into their head and makes seeing you a priority. It's not how many people are in the club it's how many people are there to see YOU!
Never rip someone off they will pass the information on to friends. It's not always the amount of money you get it's how a person is treated that they remember the most.
Have a theme, something that sets you apart from the other girls,it could be as simple as you always wear red lipstick, a hat, a certain outfit something that someone can always remember after a night of drinking and having way way too much fun.
Look in demand at all times, you want to look wanted and then others will want you.
Always sell the most expensive item first, if you aim high sooner or later someone will say YES to the hour in the champagne/ V.I.P. room.
Always have a positive outlook, if not stay home. You can't hope you are the best you have to KNOW you are!

Hi everyone!
I'm new to Stripperweb, but have been dancing for about a year. I am shy, so forums like this are a perfect tool for me to build my confidence.
I have always been an average earner, and have been in need of some new tips to increase my earnings. Because I'm shy, I fall prey to myself and take "No"s to easily without persistence.
To Chrissy68, great tips, thanks! I am going to try some of the VIP sales ideas out this weekend at work.
Your suggestion : ""hey jim! im totally ready to get naked and play with you!" Has been working really well for me; it puts the focus not on the custy getting a "dance", which = $20 in their head, to a focus on them and their pleasure (which is the point of them being there), which is much less intimidating than straight asking for money.
Another tip i read on this site was when talking about dances, ALWAYS speak of them in plural. Ex: "hey jim! im totally ready to get naked and play with you! Let's go play on the couch for a few songs." or something to that effect. It plants the idea that you'd rather spend some time with them, and makes it easier to get multiple dances.
Thanks!
