Slow Tipper - How to push him along?
So I am still a newbie to the game, but I have managed to keep 1 good regular who tips at least $100 a night usually in a span of 1.5 to maybe 2 hours tops; basically as long as he decides he wants to sit in the club. So I don't want to push him off from tipping me because I rely on him coming out most nights to at least assure I'm not walking out in the red, but I have made a few small attempts to have him tip me a lil quicker. I've stressed to him that I charge by song, even lowering it to $10/song, barely giving any action based on his tip, but he has a terrible habit of about 2-3 dollars a minute. Nothin's working >:(
I don't think I'm setting too high of an expectation, but I need him to understand that I don't need to, and he's not entitled, stay with him for such an extended amount of time when the cash you plan to spend is literally sitting on the table next to your beer. I'm probably too nice, but I don't need him taking up so much of my time any more because I still want to talk to others on the floor. I've had people leave who came to see me before because of this guy.
*** I've even told him at points to tip other dancers who I see aren't making much of anything, but he literally will not because he is dedicated to tipping just me.

Sounds like more of a hAssle than he is worth. I would just leave him and attend to
Other customers. He’ll get the picture.
Re: Slow Tipper - How to push him along?
You can try leaving and coming back to him periodically too. When I have someone who I know wants to tip me because they're a regular or something but it's otherwise busy I just tell them in some flirty dumb way like "Oh I gotta work but I'll be right back for you ;)" or what ever and that makes them feel like they're not just another wallet to you that you actually like spending time with them, plus then you don't have to waist time waiting for a tip that you know you're getting anyways and can make money working the rest of the custies.

Close early and close often. Chatting up a guy for more than a dance or two without asking for a VIP is wasting time and money.

He probably does that to keep you around for as long as he can stretch it out
Re: Slow Tipper - How to push him along?
Time is money. On a dead night where you have no better options, fine. On any other night? I'd rather focus that energy on lining up dances or getting a VIP so I can make $500 in an hour. It's a manipulation tactic to keep you sitting with him as long as possible. He's dangling the carrot and you know you'll get it eventually so you're putting up with his shit until he gives it to you.

Keep on chuggin'. No time for cheap bozos.
I really hate when they stretch every freaking dollar.
Re: Slow Tipper - How to push him along?
I would walk away. I'd prob. go sit on the other side of the bar with my back to him so he can't even look at my titties
Re: Slow Tipper - How to push him along?
I wouldn't hang with him anymore. He's a waste of time. I know you just started, but $100 per two hours isn't all that great. The only exception to this is if your club is extremely dead and you have no other way to make money. I'd say something like " I enjoy talking to you but call me over when you're ready for a dance. I need to make money ". I don't like the fact you've offered $10 a song and he still declined. Not worth it
