which customer do you approach first?
Scenario: The club is full enough so that you have your pick of who you approach first.
Do you go up to the guy who looks the wealthiest, or the guy who has given you signals that he is interested in you, first?
In the past, I have always gone up to the one who has seemed the most interested. They usually were quite interested in me, but a lot of times didn't have more money than one dance or not even that/wanted to date me.
What's your elimination strategy?
Re: which customer do you approach first?
If I get to go onstage shortly after I check in I usually see who either tips me or seems interested while I'm up there and those are the first ones I approach. This is my preferred method but if there are a lot of girls and it's going to be an hour or longer before I go onstage I usually single out the type of guys who are usually interested in me and head to them first. I tend to have a high success rate with latino men and older white or black men sitting by themselves so I approach those guys first. Obviously that'll vary by girl and what their target audience is. I normally don't like approaching groups of 4 or more guys, guys under 25, or couples unless they show me a considerable amount of interest, call me over, or tip me onstage. They're always last except in those instances.
Re: which customer do you approach first?
I don't put much stock into guys who "look" wealthy..they are often cheap assholes who want the attention but have no money , like the guys who brag about how much they make..when you have money you can show, you don't need to brag. Guys in suits make me uneasy, haven't had good experiences.
I always go to the ones who have shown me interest before possibly wasting my time and letting pretty much guaranteed money leave or go w a different dancer. *shrug* I just make it a very quick hustle Since I figure I already have their attention/attraction
Re: which customer do you approach first?
If I had a lap dance for every broke asshole who wears a suit to try look wealthy...I'd own a club not work in one.
Re: which customer do you approach first?
Wealthiest "looking" doesn't mean jack. First off, just because he's nicely dressed, doesn't mean he has money or is willing to spend whatever he does.
Go to the guy that you pretty much know is a guarantee. Keep yourself busy. Looking in demand will only make you seem more appealing. When the club is busy like that, don't stop! I've also found that the guy looking completely uninterested will end up being your best spender.
Be smart with your time.
Re: which customer do you approach first?
Usually a guy gives off a vibe. That's what I pay attention to.
Re: which customer do you approach first?
The Solo dude drinking water or soda.
The dude eyeballing me as I prance through the club.
The dudes sitting in close proximity to VIP area.
Re: which customer do you approach first?
I tend to move fairly quickly from customer to customer if they aren't buying, so I just start at the closest one. I try not to walk past anyone without some sort of interaction, because they can be babies about "I wanted to buy dances off you but you ignored me" etc

I do the same. If a guy seems interested, I will go to him first because it should be easiest to close the sale. Also, if I let him wait too long, he could change his mind or find another dancer. If there is no one in particular who seems interested, I go right down the line of guys and sit with them/try to sell dances.
I recently had a broke looking old guy spend $900 on me in VIP, and on the opposite end of the spectrum, a clean-cut attractive dude who looked wealthy straight-up asked for sex/a blowjob, after grabbing at my boobs. You just never know.
And... Wealthy people don't necessarily need to show off.

the ones sitting close to VIP? that's interesting, I never though of that as a buying sign but I will try to target those.

Sooooooo true.
Re: which customer do you approach first?
I hate rich men. Thankfully most of the clubs I work at are working class joints with lots of trade workers who earn a decent living.
My first instinct is to approach the guy who seems interested in me from afar. If I don't get that feeling from anyone, a guy sitting by himself drinking a non alcoholic bevetage is my first choice.
Re: which customer do you approach first?
The one who tips me good and shows interest in me on stage. I don't usually approach custies out on the floor, I wait until my stage set when I have their full attention. But if I do go up to a custie on the floor, it would be the guy who looks at me and gives the vibe of being interested in a dance. The way he dresses or how "rich" he looks does not matter to me one bit.
Re: which customer do you approach first?
I go to whoever looks like they're not going to mind spending several hundred dollars on me, then I work my way down. If someone is super interested and grabby, I pitch them right away for a private room. I don't waste any time on them. Usually they're just looking for a dance, which I usually am not but I'll oblige.
Re: which customer do you approach first?
It's easier to get $100 out of a guy who is entranced enough by you to come tip, than it is out of the guy who couldn't be arsed.
Even if the tipper doesn't have a lot of $$, you still made an easy sale where you didn't waste mental/emotional energy having to sell them. That's worth something IMO. I'd rather take that easy sale than go attempt to cold sell some guy who may or may not actually have any money, that he may or may not be willing to part with.
Re: which customer do you approach first?
The one with $ in their hand waving it !
I've always said on here though that for good or bad, I'll always take the $20 being offered NOW v.s. the potential larger sale with waiting involved. It's just my style and is what works best for me.
Re: which customer do you approach first?
Approach every customer who tipped or looked interested in you so you don't have to waste any time on them. That'll be quick money usually. Then after you've collected the most you can from the obvious guys spend more time on the rest.
Re: which customer do you approach first?
the ones that are super into me are usually super broke ugggghhh... and I have a hard time getting a convo going with guys that are not into me. So I leave and then another girl gets them to laugh and have fun. This has been messing with me, and I know it's not cause they're physically hotter. I just don't know how to connect with customers anymore..
Re: which customer do you approach first?
I agree anyone that shoes interest or tips me on stage. In general I look for single guys, especially middle aged. Seems to work best for me.
Re: which customer do you approach first?
ding ding ding, we have a winner for guy sitting alone and close to VIP!! I approached an older white guy sitting close to VIP (who DID NOT seem to specifically be interested in me) and made small talk for a while and he STILL did not seem interested. But he was a winner, we went for dances twice and he paid my house and tipped, and it was a slow night besides that.
In the same breath, at the beginning of the night there was a group of my 'typical fans' who thought my stage show was soooo great and were so excited and tipped me $4 between all of them. And of course, they left before we did the dance they had promised to let me know when they would be ready for it.
I've been straying from my typical customers and going for white, more affluent looking and older. I used to be scared, because they usually go for girls smaller than me. But I've found it's hit or miss with them, and the hit can be BIG!
Re: which customer do you approach first?
The guys who have given me signals! Rich looking dudes in suits are usually extremely cheap and hard to milk. I find I usually bank more off dudes who look like rednecks. Country boys dress down, yet they can make bank and aren't afraid to spend it. Maybe me being curvier helps with that demographic too, though. But I've met guys, white dudes with beards wearing flannels and jeans and work boots, who spend hundreds without a problem. Steel mills, construction workers, contractors, they can all look like rednecks but they have the real cash.
Re: which customer do you approach first?
First I look for any regulars who I know are guaranteed money.
Then I go to whoever tips me on stage.
Next I look for who is checking me out or trying to catch my attention.
NEXT I look for who is sitting alone with their legs open. I find when guys have their legs open it means they are ready for AT least a dance. It's actually funny to watch a customer slowly get more comfortable then open their legs. USUALLY when guys have their legs closed they don't want a dance.
Another guaranteed dance are guys who flicker there eyes all over the floor looking for a dancer to notice them or trying to make eye contact with a dancer to get her attention. These guys don't care they will take a dance from anyone.
Next: Groups of two or more. I've only been dancing for three months and still can't get over my fear of going up to groups. It's usually because I fear rejection in front of others. I only go up to groups if I know the guy wants me, the bouncer says he's requesting me or if i find the balls to go over.
Lastly I sit by VIP. This might seem like a waist of time (maybe so) but I do this when I feel like no one in the club wants me. Magically I get taken straight to VIP when I do this- it's happened twice last week. A guy come up to me and takes me straight into VIP room. Maybe this is random luck but I think not. It always happens when I haven't made any money and BOOM straight to VIP.
There's another girl in my club who just sits there the entire time and guys also take her straight to VIP. I always wondered how she made money when she's never working the floor- it's because guys take her straight to VIP/
I think it's because men are naturally hunters and get curious as to why you didn't go up to them or just curious in general because they've only seen you on stage. I get the most money off of guys who approach me first.
Some girls do only floor dances to make their money and others sell VIP. I'd much rather make my money in VIP then slaving away drenched in sweat on the floor giving lap dance after lap dance.
The more time you have at the club the better. Eventually you will learn which customers spend money and which ones don't. I remember one time I thought this one customer hated me because he NEVER tipped me and he's a club regular goes in almost every day. I never had the balls to speak to him because other girls were always on his lap. Well two weeks ago I'm on stage and he throws $250 in ones at me on stage. I think it might be because of the repeat of seeing me every time he came in. No I never spoke to him until that night. I was so shocked- not at the money but at the fact that he made it rain on me when I thought he only liked mexican girls (i'm black).
Another crazy thing happened to me last week. I went up to a customer (who is African) because he was staring at me like he wanted me to come over so I went over to him. Usually I NEVER go up to Africans only because I hate their personality- a lot of successful African men think they are above black people i know this because I've dated a lot of them. They can also be mean- one time I went up to an African when I first started and I asked him how his night was going and he shood me away like a dog. I felt so embarrassed that it spooked me out and I stopped going over to Africans. Well when I went to this guy he told me that he had been watching me for the past three months and I only dance with white or Mexican men (which isn't true but whatever). He was really shocked that I went over to him and took me straight to VIP. So I guess I will start trying with African customers again even though they really turn me off.
