How to introduce yourself
How do you ladies usually introduce yourself to your customers? I usually sit in a chair close to them and just ask them how they are doing. Occasionally I will sit in their lap or whatever. I'm just wondering what you guys do and what you say when you walk up to them? I also run out of things to talk about quickly with some customers. What do you do about this?
Re: How to introduce yourself
My stage name is interesting enough that it doesn't really matter how I introduce, it always ends up with them asking "how the heck did you come up with that?" and thus a conversation begins :)
Usually I'll just ask for their name first and they'll follow it up by asking for mine tho.
Re: How to introduce yourself
If the conversation is too forced I'll try flirting more and pitching the sale quickly. I tend to think that the guy is either not into me, or not into conversation with me, so why bother wasting time either way?

It depends on their personality type. Reds and Blues get a louder greeting than Greens or Yellows.
I'm way to lazy to type it all out. I have a detailed explanation in audio format on my iTunes podcast. You can click on the link in my signature.

Re: How to introduce yourself
I never sit in a guys lap when I walk up to introduce myself. They need to know I expect money to break that barrier with me. Sometimes just to amuse myself, I will just sit in the chair next to a guy, and not look or speak to him, they will look over at you a few times then speak to you first. The right men are very intrigued by this. Plus it's funny.
Re: How to introduce yourself
I just sit down next to them, make sure my body is facing them and put my hand on their leg or their shoulder, say hi how are you and ask their name and shake their hand. I do that with every single customer and then try and personalize my hustle after their response.
