Re: Favorite sales tricks
I use my time on stage to establish connections with customers, instead of approaching them directly on the floor. That way I have their full attention and I can get a feel for if they’re interested or not. If I notice a guy making eye contact and smiling, I go right up to him and introduce myself. The first thing I ask him is ‘’what are you in the mood for today?!’’, I always start my conversations off with this question to determine if he’s there to spend money or if he’s just a time waster. Usually he’ll let me know right then and there that’s he’s interested in doing a dance. I sell him the VIP by telling him that I strongly prefer doing VIPs over couch dances, because you can’t do anything on the couch and you don’t have any privacy. That way I narrow down my clientele to guys who a) are there to spend money and b) spend money on VIP dances.
Re: Favorite sales tricks
omg i love those tips!! so simple, but i really see how that would work so well!
my tip is always be friendly to everybody. some guys are just awkward. for example, a guy said the other day 'when I'm ready/maybe later" something stupid like that, and my initial reaction was to say something slick, but i smiled and said okay.
he later made it rain on me and got a $25 dance and tipped me $25 on the dance.
Re: Favorite sales tricks
My little trick comes from actual psichology reseacrh papers: I ask customers simple questions when they inevitably will answer:"Yes". Something trivial or evident: like "Oh, what an amazing shoes on this girl!", or "Is your beer good?" YES response triggers certain happy hormons in them. So, next I will ask about dances. I've noticed that I get more positive responses when I focus on that trick.
Re: Favorite sales tricks
Whether I close sales or not with a customer, I make sure to say something nice/sexy that makes him feel good.
Even if he's not spending, the effect of the positive interaction either primes him to buy dances from another girl, or makes him want to come back and check you out.
Reminder- this tactic is not for every club- some places are hard to sell any dances in period and if you have a total "wanna dance?" style you won't invest energy in remembering guys who come back in.
BUT once you are seasoned enough to not get rattled by any/every conversation with a strip club patron, you'll get into the groove of making small talk and matching faces to details.

Key word STANDARD when asking for tips, especially if you feel like he may be a cheapskie.
"The standard amount is (insert # here)".

I support this but I know in some states (especially Midwestern) the management will tell you not to demand tips but you can mention tipping in connection to VIP area dances or floor dances. Just adding this so no one accidentally earns the wrath of a manager.
Re: Favorite sales tricks
If the customer says he's ready to stop the dance when it's the 4th song (or 8th if it's a really good custy), I really want to make that hundred dollar mark, so i'll say, "aw are you sure? You don't want to make it even and go for 5?" I'll jiggle my tits and smile and it works 9/10 times when I DO use that trick. I don't always.
Re: Favorite sales tricks
I start conversations with custies that are by the stage i’m going to go on when I know I’m going on stage soon, I say “I’m really enjoying this conversation, but I have to go on stage right here, watch me dance.” I always make eye contact and smile at them and 8 times out of ten it works!
Re: Favorite sales tricks
Hmm... With no regulars around, I look for easy targets. Easy targets as in overweight, geeky-looking, poorly dressed, appeared to be low self-esteem/have lack experience with women, unhandsome face, older male, and foreign-born Hispanic or white. Or look for someone who's looking at me for a minute or two.
Then talk to them, if they sound a bit timid with bit of eagerness, there's a high chance of a sale. I make sure they look at my cleaverage as well. Giving them a peek of the gap of my breasts/bra.
Dancing on stage and tip rail. Hate it but it's a form of advertising to reel them in to establish a connection.
Re: Favorite sales tricks
If there are enough customers in the club, I will do this when I arrive and periodically throughout the night to keep as many customers in my "roster" as possible:
Walk around the room making eye contact, smile/cute little wave/wink and then keep it moving like I have something/somewhere to be. I especially do this when customers have just arrived and are settling in throughout the night so I can avoid sitting with them waiting while the acclimate (longer, slower hustle usually) and also gauge who looked interested and keep a mental note. It always seems the busier I am, the more customers want me vs. when I am not busy and therefore don't appear "in demand." I will do this every time I pass them (small club, sometimes I'll walk by 3-5x before I finally make my move, esp if I'm actually busy lol) and by the time I actually go to sit down with them, the sale is usually quick and easy because they have been anticipating/waiting for me and perceive that I am very popular and busy ;)
Re: Favorite sales tricks
Also, just thought of another one! This probably won't work in every club but in mine, you are exempt from your stage duties if you are doing a lap dance, so if I've been sitting with someone and it's going well and they call me to stage I say something cute/fake dramatic like "oh no, babe they're trying to tear us apart! let's go hide in the private room!" it doesn't ALWAYS work but the success rate is high enough that I always try. If they decline, I giggle it off like I was just being silly anyways and invite them to my stage.

These are pretty good at closing the sale.
