How do you sell champagne rooms?
I have only worked at clubs where almost every girl did extras. I don't do extras so I would just hustle dances and never even tried to sell rooms.
I just started working at a club that has cameras everywhere, so no one is doing extras. Before you ask, no one is paying off the managers to look the other way so they can do extras either.
Since I've never tried to sell rooms I don't know how. I thought I'd figure it out by now but I've been working at this new place a while and I can't figure it out!
Any advice would be appreciated <3

Without going over the line, you can promise the VIP with champers is a way for the customer to have YOU all to himself, privately.
No chance of some other guy coming along and taking you away.

^ Use terms like " it's so much nicer back there " , " more private with the just ", " we can really relax back there " , ect.

There's a shitload of threads about this in Hustle Hut, do a search. Sales books can also be really helpful.
Here's a basic rundown to get you started:
- Always, always give them the option. They can't buy it if they don't know about it. After he says yes, he wants a dance/to have some fun/whatever, say "Yay! Ok, where would you like to go?" Can't tell you how many guys I've come across who are like "Wait, I didn't know there were options!" because nobody had mentioned them before...
- Start with the most expensive first. If the top option is outrageous to him, the others will seem more reasonable by comparison. Our hour room gets sold like once every 3 months bc it's so ridiculously priced, so I use it as a gauge more than anything. I like to say "Well our nicest room is an hour for XYZ" & watch the reaction - if he doesn't seem terribly phased, I'll push the 45 min room. If he's horrified at the price, I push the half hour & 15 minute options.
- It might help you to make a list of the differences in rooms. If you have 4 different rooms + floor dances, you really should know why each one is more expensive. Is it private? Can you control music or lighting? Do you get to touch more? Etc. Be able to explain what the added value is at each level.
- I'm a fan of the phrase "Most people do XYZ room" very nonchalantly. I swear to you, I can see them absorb that statement & oftentimes they go with that option.
- Idk what your club's touching rules are or if you use it to upsell, but if we've been talking about rooms, I kinda make the floor dances seem boring as fuck & not worth it. Like, I almost don't even acknowledge that they're an option - "Oh yeah, we have floor dances *gestures at dance area without actually looking at it* , but there's no touching at all & the bouncers are always hanging around..."
You'll get the hang of it. I went from a per-dance club to a room club & it took a minute to get adjusted, but the money is much easier than lap-hopping all night IMO.

I don't.
Too much "taxation" from the club, too expensive for regular Joes, they have to pay the club that room rental fee which that money should be coming to you, plus too many men expect extras.
The only way I'll do it if its a "clean" customer who wants to buy out the majority or all of my work shift which is super rare but I've seen it before in recent times. But if it's some regular dude who wants to drop $500 on me - lap dance room, VIP section etc, $25/song.

"Let's go somewhere private for dances so the dj/staff won't interrupt. DJ can call me during dances & I want to give you all of my undivided attention."

The key is to have a good solid convo with him for a few minutes before you hit the sales pitch. You want to connect with him. Have a good conversation going. Make him do a shot with you on the floor.
In vip... make him drink, smoke, dance with him(yes, dance...make him get up and dance) etc... Don't take off your clothes as soon as vip starts. Drink and chat. The key is to extend the convos.
You can make money clean in vip rooms. Just choose your customer wisely and don't be over the top.. be a little mysterious.
