Telling custies how popular you are?
I came across this on accident...I was actually doing well and doing a lot of dances (there were only 4 girls on shift and I was the only white girl, which made me stand out I think). I sat down with one guy who was hemming and hawing about getting a dance, and I said "Well honestly I've been getting grabbed for dances all night so I don't know if I'll be available later." He said "Oh I better go now then!" took me back and ended up doing more dances than anyone else, and tipped me on top of them. I'm wondering if you ladies have success by saying similar things to customers? I think I'm going to try it again tomorrow night, whether I'm getting tons of LDs or not! What do you think?
Re: Telling custies how popular you are?
Absolutely. I just started, but after reading Hustle Hut I decided to ignore a custie who was hem-hawing. He could only stand two minutes deprived of my attention and ended up buying a VIP dance. Don't waste time trying to convince anybody. Just move on and they'll come to you.
Re: Telling custies how popular you are?
Whenever someone says "maybe later" or "come back in x minutes," I'll always say that I'll certainly try but make no promises since I'm a busy girl and someone else might sweep me away. I find it's more effective when the club is actually busy, especially if they've seen me come in and out of the back, but I'll still say it when it's dead and just mention that a lunch/after work/whatever crowd will likely start trickling in soon just to put some pressure on.

I always tell customers to grab me quick because quite possibly the next guy I chat to could book me for a hell of a lot longer than what you were planning to, so before that happens lets go now or you'll have to wait a very long time, or even worse go with someone else and wish it was me!
If they don't want it, then I go hustle and try hard to get more dances. If I asked to come back in x amount of time and I'm free and they're free then i come back and feel it out, sometimes I ask straight away or chat a little bit more, sometimes i say 'well i guess you're going to be my lucky 1st vip etc etc for the night!', or 'so you've seen by now all the girls working here and obviously I'm the best here so lets go!'

Usually works but it can also backfire.
Re: Telling custies how popular you are?
The busy girl thing always works well for me! Usually I'm not lying to them anyway!
Re: Telling custies how popular you are?
Thanks for this reminder! I don't need to be wasting my time, and I know I'm good at what I do, and that I WILL be busy if I keep the positivity. :)

I've seen in a few marketing classes the idea of parking a bunch of the nicest cleanest cars you can in the parking lot of a restaurant to make it look like it is doing good with well off customers. It works. Stacking your wad can reallly help.
Re: Telling custies how popular you are?
^Lol that's funny because I always bring a little cash with me so as soon as I hit the floor there's $ in my garter. When I start selling dances, I always put my largest bill on top of the wad, especially if it's a Benjamin. Sometimes guys will comment on it and I shrug like "just another Thursday night." They almost always get dances. Men want what other men want, I suppose.
Re: Telling custies how popular you are?
Put a c note and a few 20's in your garter and make it known...
Re: Telling custies how popular you are?
^^^ Offset the bills a little so it's not in a neat even stack. Make sure the edges of big bills poke out so they can be read.;)
Re: Telling custies how popular you are?
Yup. If a guy displays interest but still says he needs some time and you genuinely think he would do something were he to finish his drink, catch up with his friends, send an email, ect. there's no harm in saying "Maybe I'll see you later on but can't guarantee it. It's about to get reaaaallly busy in here and I'll probably be upstairs by then!" Similar to what Shanna Dior was saying.
Part of what makes someone make an impulse buy (which VIP is) is by creating a sense of urgency. That they need to buy it NOW or it'll be gone. The more time a man has to sit on his own and weigh the pros and cons of going upstairs with you the less likely he is to do it.
Re: Telling custies how popular you are?
Creating demand helps you make bank. You want to be wanted and desired by every customer in the club then you will make top dollar!
Re: Telling custies how popular you are?
Yup, getting up and walking off if someone starts hem-hawing works. I did it the other day to a guy who was like "Oh, oh honey I don't know... I have to pee... and I don't know..." So I just said "Okay well I'm gonna go make money elsewhere then!" and bounced away all cutely. It helped that my next target did immediately buy a dance, because the first one kept trying to flag me down (but I was leaving so ignored him).
Agreed with the money in garter thing. That works on stage too; if you accumulate a bunch of tips on the main stage, you almost always continue to get tipped on the satellite stages.
Re: Telling custies how popular you are?
Always walk away when someone isn't spending money. And of course let them know you're popular/busy. Don't say "well I'm super popular so you missed out sucker" but more along the lines of "I'd love to come back later if I get a chance...but it is a busy night and I'm a very busy girl" *wink*
Even if you do come around again you shouldn't stay unless they're ready to spend. I'll come around a second time after that I simply ignore them. Sometimes they'll find me with cash in hand HOURS later. Make money in the mean time.
Re: Telling custies how popular you are?
I do the extra money in the garter thing as well!
