Selling a VIP Without Knowing the Cost
Hey folks,
Intro: I've just started stripping and worked the last three days. I did so well I fear my experiment has become a job. I credit it entirely to the hustling tips here, and for that, thank you ... 2200 times over.
Anyway, here's the real question.
At my club, we're supposed to tell the customer that VIP is $200/half or $400/hour plus the "house fee". Even if we know the house fee (which I don't yet... maybe $100/$200?), only the host is supposed to tell him what it is. Naturally, this raises suspicion, and the broken rapport kills the sale. Even good prospects balk at this. They think I am lying and they are about to get screwed over.
I've sold two CR's out of sheer fucking luck, when the guys proposed it, but I don't imagine that will continue.
How would you sell that? Find out the price and give an estimate (it changes for the various sized rooms)? Keep on keepin' on with the "house fee" nonsense? I can't not talk money at all -- I'm not THAT smooth. Or that hot. I am only afraid they will try to nail me down on the price and then haggle with the CR hosts, thus getting me in trouble.
Any help appreciated!

Step one. Find out the house fee.
Step two. Don't be so afraid to let the host do the talking. I almost always try to avoid talking money with customers. I am the entertainment... I am the dream girl... the one who "cares about them"..... I could care less about the money ;) That is just a formality to be discussed with the host.
Let the host be the bad guy.... play good cop bad cop.
Or just play dumb... if you don't know the exact price (which you SHOULD) you can can always say "Gee... it's around $X... but the host can tell you the exact price... I have way too much fun in the VIP to keep track of all the numbers... teehee."
Step 3...... If the host helps you make the sale.... tip them well. That is the BEST advice I can give.
