Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
Okay, i am AWFUL at making money on Fridays and Saturdays.
It's not that I hate big/younger/rowdier crowds. I don't have a specific preference for slow and relaxing times. I just haven't figured out the weekend hustle!!!
1. I am a little annoyed that things go shit-slow until about 11:30pm. Our club (and everything else in our state) closes at 2am, so that leaves us with about 2.5 decent hours to work with.
2. I usually get ready pretty early, so i am one of the first girls to go onstage when the shift begins at 8pm. You'd think that responsible girls get repaid karmically, but no- because that means I'm:
up once on main stage around 8pm when no one is in the club,
up once on a side stage (where no one is watching) around 11pm, and
up on main stage again around 1:30-2am, when everyone is watching and telling me they're soooo excited to see me and they wanna all get dances sooooooooo bad, but what happens when i get offstage? Nothing! Either it's so freakin hectic i can't find the willing victim, or I have time to squeeze in like 1.5 dances before the club closes!
What the heck??!!! I've been being pretty good about using these hustling tips and treating guys like they're special... do i really have to stoop down to "Wanna dance" on the weekends? Is that how Friday/Saturday hustle works?
Is there such a thing a girl who's just not carved out for weekends? I don't want to believe that i can't overcome it.
I know other girls can make like $600+on Saturdays, but I made $59 tonight (after $95 tip-out), I'm super-bummed... like I should have just worked minimum wage at my other job, and not have had to put up with weird assholes spanking me and leaving handprints on my skin... :(

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
Friday and Saturday's suck at my club too. I make more than double that on Tuesdays. It is a totally different kind of hustle for a different kind of crowd. I would like to know the secrets too, please someone share. Also I think maybe the outfits ought to be slightly different, maybe more flashy-crazy?

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
I can relate. I've only worked nights so far, but it does annoy me how there's is like NO ONE there until around 11:30. I use two different hustles for this kinda night. When it's slllooowww I will zone into one guy and try and work him for quite awhile if it's really dead. Usually I can get them to buy at least one dance if I work with them for a bit. Then as the night progresses my hustle gets faster the more people come in and the drunker they get. Then I just pretend I'm horny lol and that usually works. They love simple, dirty talk I think.

why dont you wanna do "wanna dance"?
isnt it a lot easier than spending all your energy and brainpower trying to find interesting things to talk about with all your customers?

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
I've found on Fridays and Saturdays, I can use a slightly modified weekday hustle to great effect (I'm a weeknight girl, too). Sure, there's a bunch of bachelor parties and young groups, but I bet you there's one or two lonely, desperate, generous souls who are just soooooo sad they don't have anyone to go out with on a Saturday night. Hit up the lone dude hiding in the corner staring at his beer and be *really* warm and friendly. Like, therapist-type welcoming. He'll be grateful for the company, and you'll walk out with his next three mortgage payments. Everybody's happy. ;D

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
I've worked at a club that had he same scenario. Closed at 2 and had 2 hours that were decent to try to make $. It was very hit or miss. Wanna dance is probably the best idea.

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
Wanna-dance if it's very crowded, but avoid the kids and bachelor parties. MissAlethea is absolutely right, hunt down the lonely businessman instead.
Me, I HATE Friday and Saturday nights at showclubs and I don't do them anymore. I don't have the energy for broke, stupid children throwing blow-up dolls at each other.

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
Saturday nights in all the states I've worked never got going till after 10pm
I like weekends since the "wanna dance" hustle is a nice break from the rest of the week.

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
you arent "stooping down" to anything by doing wanna dance. as chrissy pointed out in her 'helpful things' thread, it is a waste of time to do more than that on a crowded night. i give a guy 30 seconds to a minute and if he doesnt want a dance i'm outta there. i generally introduce myself, ask their name, are they having fun, and tell them i'm ready to dance for them. depending on the crowd and guy, i throw in a tiny bit more basic chit chat but its still basically 'wanna dance?'

:yes:
Like I said in another thread, I don't see why "wannadance" hustling gets so panned or looked down on around here. :shrug: OK, maybe you should use more creative lines, be energetic, fun and sensual with your attitude, and throw in a minute of light, sexy banter before going in for the kill :P Maybe wannadance-ing got a bad rap because of all the girls who literally just walk up to custies and say "wannadance?" in the most bored tone possible? But there is nothing wrong with a fast hustle. A more interesting version of wannadance works for me as well on a Tuesday night as on Friday night.
Like someone else posted awhile ago, lapdances are impulse purchases. The more time you spend talking, the more time he has to over-think it and back out of getting a dance. Keep it moving; momentum == money.

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
In addition to what everyone else said...if you are getting screwed by being the first girl on the floor...and there arent repercussions from being late...slow down and get there later. Or get there on time, but take your time putting on makeup,doing hair,etc....so you change the times you go on stage.

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
Well, just my two cents, but I'm the oppostie, for whatever reason I rock out on the weekends and like Wednesday thursday, but fuck ! I have never made money (that I can recall and if I did it must have been once or twice) on a sunday or monday...
So I just don't work those days! If for whatever reasons the weekends don't work for you, I don't think its a big deal...can you work during the week? Sounds like you do well then...
Everybody's personality is different. I've also NEVER been able to make money early in a shift, I don't ever go to work before 9 or 10...

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
Ok, this is all really good advice. Next Saturday, I'm going to can my whole schtick and spend about 1 whole minute doing introductions and offer. I'll try that at least, and see how it goes.

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
when i work weekend nights (vary rarely). i always make 90% of my money before 11pm. that's why i hate it. it seems like the good spenders come in between 9-11 and after that it's all young cheap-asses.

I totally read this title the other not so kosher way.

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
I used to suck at weekend hustle but I'm getting better. I just try to be super enthusiastic and full of energy instead of my normal conversation girl/sweetheart persona.

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
I dunno..I just want it to be known that weekend shifts aren't for every girl. Some girls do great during the week, and not so great on the weekends. Maybe the weekend isnt' apart of your niche. Don't spend so much time focusing on making something happen that probably wont.

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
When it gets busy, don't waste too much time talking to customers. Save that for the beginning, when it's really slow. Sometimes you'll get that early night dance, sometimes not. You may as well try.

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
i dont do much better on weekends then i do on weekdays and i feel i work twice as hard for the money.

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
I can totally commiserate. My personality just does not mesh well with the weekend crowd. I would maybe suggest going in later and see what happens.

Re: Girls who flat out SUCK on weekends
i've been making way more on the weeknights. at my club weekends seem to bring in a lot of groups of younger guys just there to party and not buy dances. weekends wear me out too. plus all the stupid features and dollar dances are a pain in the ass.
i've been making weekend money during the week so there i'll stay! they start out really slow so half the girls give up and go home and most of the girls that stay don't really hustle hard. so i sell a lot of dances. i love weeknights. screw weekends!
