How do you sell drinks at the strip clubs
Hi, I am exotic dancer at Hawaii. I work at the enviourment where we sell drinks more than dances. I really dont know how other girl do it to be honest... I came from a club where it was all dances since it was 18 and up club and most people were really young so i really liked where i was working but sadly i had to switch to 21 and up clubs for many reasons. the club i work at is pretty huge, theres 4 stages but no pole so its all floor work but a lot of girls sell drinks while they are dancing on the stage ( its really hard to explain) or some girls wont even bother go on stage and walk around with pretty much normal clothes and sell drinks but I just dont know how they do it. can you guys give me tip of how to sell drink easy because i know theres girls who sells 10,20 drinks at one night which is crazy to me. Mama rather want us to sell drinks than being on stage or sell dances ( i know shes weird ) i want to sell a lot of drinks so i can be on good side of the club. the most drinks i sold was 7 drinks but i want to sell 10 at least every night. I usually sell dances from the stage but i only get to keep $20 its not really worth it to me.
so what is the tips of upselling drinks, what should i say ? please i need help ! ;D

My old club gave us a drink commission. The bartender helped a lot with pushing sales but for the most part I wouldn’t sit with a guy for longer than a few minutes unless he wanted to buy a drink. It also helps to be flirty or charismatic because if a guy is buying drinks for you to stay rather than dances he is most likely wanting to be in your company. ;) Have a few good conversation starters too, like ask them an open ended question they could go off of and they will start talking (people LOVE to talk about themselves and someone that will listen even more), at that point you can say I’d really love to stay and chat but I need a drink right now :( Or maybe you wouldn’t mind buying me one? ;) Good luck!!

I just ask ! I don't mean for that to seem like a smart ass comment but it's what I do. I worked a couple of places where it was almost a requirement for dancers to sell drinks. We got a commission from drinks we sold but also loosely had a nightly quota. I would be cute and flirty start out with some small talk and ask for him to buy me a drink. If they don't I just move on. I found it almost easier to sell a few drinks than it was to sell dances.
