The top earner's gimmick at my club
There is a girl at my club that I am sure is THE top earner, every night she works. I know this because I'm always on her tail, and last night was me and her in the dance room all night because we were constantly bringing guys back. She brought back more than I did, and kept them for more repeat songs, so I decided to watch her hustle and see exactly what she did.
On stage she went up to EVERY customer and introduced herself VERY loudly so everyone heard her name, did a cute little dance for everyone, collected her tips, and then spent a lot of time focusing on her stage performance, rather than just doing things at the rack like draping her legs over customers shoulders and putting her boobs in their face (like most other dancers do)... which IMO is giving too much away for free... it's just a DOLLAR!! If you give it all away on stage they're not going to see the need to get a private dance.
After she got off stage she would go straight into hustling- she never went to the DR once- she carried a big purse with a water bottle and lip gloss in it so she never had to go take a break. She went straight up to the guys by approaching them straight on- kneeling in front of them rather than standing up tall in front of them or to the side, and re-introduced herself. She is on the cover of a local artist's CD, so she would show the customer the CD with her picture, talk about her music, and then lead them back to the dance area. Her dances were high contact....she got full nude and she did a lot of creative positions. If the customer was wearing a hat, she would ALWAYS take it off and dance with it on.....she probably wore every guy's hat in the club last night. She somehow always managed to get multiple dances, and she did this by being in a VERY revealing position at the end of the dance......standing on the couch with her crotch in the guys face or stradding him backwards bending over. I wouldn't be comfortable doing those things.... but it worked for her.
Here's the gimmick.....after she gets done with dancing for the customer, she brings him over to a table and whips out a pack of tarot cards and does a tarot card reading...... she charges them the same price per song as a dance- and almost every customer she danced for wanted her to do a reading for him- so she got at least an extra $25 per customer she danced for.
I think that's really unique and it's such a good idea I want to copy it....but I won't. It's something that you don't see in a strip club, it's a way to make the customer feel closer to you, and it's interesting and alluring- guys who don't "buy dances" and just want to "talk" will be more likely to pay to play cards.
Just wanted to share....I copied her hustle approach technique and how she interacted with the customers on stage (and a few of her dance moves) rather than just doing my normal prude light contact air dance....and made the best money I've made in my dancing career....very close to a 1K night before tip out
Tarot cards??! Who would have thought... does anyone here do anything unique like that? I want to think of something unique and easy to sell like that!

The Tarot cards things is unusual for sure. The hat thing is not but it does work. It makes the experience even more personal to the customer. You can do the same thing with ties but don't take their glasses off them as for one they can’t see well and two they may get smudged or scratched or even broken by accident.
The leaving them wanting more at the end of the song is also a basic sales technique and very effective.
But back to the tarot cards. Now that is very unique and makes her memorable for sure. I bet she gives them an ultra positive reading as well to seal the deal.

Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
that's actually really unique & now i want to copy her.
i would totally pay to get my cards read.
she sounds like she has a really strong presence about her.

Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
forgot to add... with some guys who didn't automatically want a dance, she would to the card reading FIRST, but for most of them she did it after.
-
Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
yeah she does have a really strong presence-- she also doesn't wear stripper clothes.....she wears normal cute sundresses... the kind of dress you would wear on a date with someone. She does wear stripper heels though, and she always wears some sort of body jewelry- like an arm band or belly chain. She's the only girl in the club who doesn't wear stripper dresses- she wears normal dresses- i think that helps her too because it makes her seem more attainable.
the bouncers say she always makes at least 1k/night. They know because they count dances.

Hardworking ,clever person!!!!

Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
wow! what a great idea. tarot cards hmmmmm.....
-
Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
hard working is right. and that may be what it boils down too, more than anything else. i liked that she carried her water with her - that is one reason i hit the DR sometimes. i think palm reading could really work well. i may give that a whirl.
-
Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
I'm going to think about this and make it my own somehow . . .

Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
Thanks for sharing. I love learning about others unique techniques. I tried to learn how to read cards when I was younger and it was really hard to memorize all the meanings.
-
Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
i do a lot of those things, and it does work. not the cards though. good idea though.
i used to sell cds with my photosets on them for an extra 30. may be something you would be willing to do.

Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
it is unusual, but if i were a man i might find it weirdy-creepy a dancer trying to read tarot to me, not much of a fantasy lol
-
Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
it's also a weird town though.....not AS weird as portland, but a dancer reading tarot really isn't that strange to most people

thread jack--- Glitzy---
I LOVE your signature pic!
Creative haha.....
_____________
I think I'd rather do palm reading than tarot cards.

Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
This girl sounds like such a fruit cake to me /:O I'd be embarrassed to be in her presence.

Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
The tarot card readings are something that it will make her memorable along with the generating extra cash. Makes me want to sit down and figure out what I could do that would work with my personality. Too bad I dont know how to juggle...
And Glitzy signature is great.

Smart move, watching the top earner and learning from her. That's thinking like a predator, which is what you need to be.
Working the guys right off the stage is a very good idea, so many women waste the effect they just had on all the guys watching them. The time to strike hard is when they are at their most vulnerable, smitten with your charm, not a half hour later when they've seen 10 more women up there.
I wish I had forewarning of which dancers were going to run immediately for the DR, I wouldn't waste my time telling the guys she's ready to go to CR and give them her undivided attention, etc.

Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
Tarot is cool, but I wouldn't want to bring home the negative vibes from the club onto my cards and into my home, ya know?
Anyway, I tell jokes, and do "magic tricks", lol.
-
Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
^eh... well if i did it I would get a deck inspired by a goddess like inanna or isis and leave it at the club, and keep a couple pieces of tibetan jet in my locker to absorb the negative energy.
what kind of magic tricks do you do?
-
Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
I have tarot cards, but I think it would make me stand out in my club, and not in a good way. Good for her though! And yes, I can see how she could get away with that, as it is that kind of city.
Sometimes I have customers come in and simply ask for my advice, since I do have some intuitive ability. But whipping out tarot cards is not my style. Not at the club at least.
I wish I could dance where you are. Are all lap dances full nude?
-
Re: The top earner's gimmick at my club
no they're not full nude, they're nude-optional. most girls just dance topless. you have to keep your bottoms on on stage. I don't take my bottoms off unless the customer asks for it and pays extra per song.
you should come dance at my club!

I only have one deck and it's the Golden Dawn Crowley inspired deck and I will NOT bring that in a negative drugged drunked out place.
Anyway, a few card tricks, a few coin tricks, a really cool ninja banana trick and I "saw" a paper woman in half, lol.
No really good good tricks, although I'm STILL trying to figure out to hide a duck in my thong, lol!
Plus all kinds of dirty perverted jokes.}:D

I was already impressed, and then I read this. You must be a sight to see, in action.
Hide a duck in your thong...:rotfl:

Could you please post an example of the dress she wears? I am in the process of changing my outfit and have always worn a bikini; I have no clue what would work...

Ditto. I don't think many customers at my club would be interested in anything having to do with tarot cards. I'm glad it works for her - but realistically, I just don't see that going over well at my Dallas club (just a different vibe and clientele). They would however, probably give her a smile and an extra tip, just to go away.
