Asking for tips after a lap dance?
I rarely get customers who voluntarily give a tip at the end of a lap dance. I never ask them to tip me afterwards because I'm afraid I'm going to come off as pushy and a mooch by asking for more money after just being given some. (I worked in restaurants for years so I compare to a waiter asking a table for a bigger tip which is considered very rude). How do you recommend framing the request for a tip at the end of a lap dance without sounding like you're just demanding money and still making the customer think you're interested in them and in seeing them again? Thanks!

"That's 3 dances total, just for clarification, sweetie! The price is $x, although, gratuity is always appreciated since I know how much you enjoyed my hot dancing, sugar plum!"
Then wink, kiss on the cheek, or hug (all three if they actually tip!).
Sometimes you get it sometimes you don't, but I can usually pull AT LEAST another fiver or so out of them.

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
Toward the end of the dance I stick my tip jar shoes in their lap and ask if they want to contribute/want to make me jangle! :D
Some girls just say outright 'Can I 'av a tip, please?' I don't think that's me-I have to be cheeky and discreet about it. Then again, it seems to work for them!

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
It's $20 for the dance but tips are always appreciated ;)

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
Asking for a tip at my last club was a fireable offense. Fuck...

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
I was trying to persuade a guy to get a £50 dance last weekend. He wouldn't so I settled for a £20 one, then got a £30 tip!Bonus as club don't take a cut of tips lol.. I hid it though don't think they'd have been too happy!

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
"Thanks very much babe, it's $$ and whatever you'd like to tip!" *smile* And when I'm feeling bolder, I will add "...most people tip $, but it's up to you!"

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
The main trick is be confident! Sell it like it's just the right thing to do. ;-)
I heard this guy that used to make marketing books and be an advertising consultant say that when you'd wokr with chiropractors, he'd make them get in front of a mirror and practice telling the clients how much things would cost, until they could charge their own mothers $2000 for a back cracking, and keep a straight face.

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
I try to keep it cutesy, big smile, really girly body language and ask "would you like to leave me a little tip? I'd really appreciate it!" or I make a joke about how if he leaves me a tip I can go to the bar and "buy myself a drinky, alcohol makes me sooo happy etc. they usually smile and give me at least the price of a drink (and I obviously don't actually spend it at the bar).
If I'm in VIP I usually do the same routine but as I'm looking for a bigger tip I'll explain to them that the club takes half our money but we can keep all tips and they're usually pretty shocked that we don't get the full amount they've paid and give a tip on top.

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
another trick: I almost always mention the tip casually right before I begin dancing for them. "Ok babe, so it's $20 a song and whatever you'd like to tip and you'll just be paying me at the end, there's just one rule(s) blah blah blah...ok? perfect!" *start dancing* (often i will say this little speech while I'm having them take their keys/phone/ect out of their pockets before the dance begins so they're not completely focused on what I'm saying and will just nod in agreement, but really I am planting the thought in their head that I will be hitting them up for a tip later on in addition the set dance prices.)

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
I do 3/$100 & if its on a tab I ask if they want to add the tip to that total or pay cash.... Like its totally normal.... Same with VIP

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
I work in the UK and I'e never come across girls in the club asking for tips. I want to try it but I'm not sure if its something not done in the UK and considered impolite. Any UK girls here who ask for tips?

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
I use the same line pretty much. and the 3 for 100 works.

I like this!
If they think they'll gain more from tipping you, they're more likely to do so.
They'll associate a tip with a drink to a step in the right direction towards being drunk.
I'm going to try & apply this is the parlour...
"A nice tips makes me enjoy my just *that* much more, bb... It makes me happy to be in this room with you."
I do the other thing a lot...
Never underestimate the power of guilt, lol.

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
Depending on the type of club you work in, is it worth picking up nickels in front of a bulldozer?
Think about it this way, if a guy just spent $1000 on the VIP experience and you know he will come in again to see you...do you want to risk turning him OFF? I've seen this happen soooo many times by inexperienced dancers.
The suggestions above are great for a fast turn over club where your sale is $20-60 and you just want an extra $5. But think twice before appearing overly greedy to higher dollar clientele.

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
I only do this on busy nights. If it's a Friday or Saturday night crowd where most of the guys getting dances are young and not likely to spend big, I'll say "tips are appreciated!" with a smile on my face while they're getting their money out to pay for however many dances they got - that way it doesn't sound demanding.
It's effective with a younger/busy crowd but I won't say that spenders. If a guy gets enough dances from me that he owes me somewhere in the several-hundreds (300 and above, really) I'd rather turn him into a regular than ask for a tip... $300+ is a decent amount of money where I'd be satisfied without a tip, but generally a guy who likes you enough to get that many dances and can afford that many dances is going to tip you anyway, or at least become a repeat customer.

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
Right after a dance i say, "do you mind giving me a little tip?" I think theres some phsychology in the sentence structure....if they say no they are saying yes & visa versa. This usually works. If they seem hesitant i just make it more casual, "most people tip 20, but its a tip, whatever you can do is appreciated."

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
I generally wont ask but I will make it known with body language that a tip is required.

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
if they've gotten a long string of dances and have spent a lot i don't ask, especially if they are very loyal regulars..but as i put 100% into my dances and expend a ton of energy giving them the best performance i can i do say " thats *however amount* and whatever you want for the tip!" if they've gotten one or two..idk though, maybe i should be asking for a tip after every dance, that's how they say top earners make as much as they do, by asking and receiving! im going to try it this week

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
Not really asking for a tip, but telling a dude how much money the club may take off the dance is a good way to get more money. For example, if a club takes five bucks of a 25 lapdance, telling the dude that the club takes five off can make the dude give you the whole 25 and the five for the club. Same with larger amounts.

Re: Asking for tips after a lap dance?
I ask them if they enjoyed their dance and they'll say yes (whether they mean it or not) and then I'll hold their hand or something cue and ask "was it good enough for a tip?" and it almost always works.

This is pretty much what fellows on the blue side suggested. The customers who intend to spend their money on you do not appreciate being prodded for an extra $5, no matter how polite or subtle you think you're being. Definitely a wise thing to keep in mind.
