"We're talking business", "I just watch the stage"
"We're talking business"
"I just watch the girls on stage"
Those are the two most annoying lines of B.S. that come out of a customers mouth. I don't have any great comebacks for them. Does anyone have any advice on how to call these guys on their B.S. and get them to buy a dance?

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
The first one is sometimes workable because maybe only one is trying to brush you off and maybe they really do want time to talk....then later play. I hate this too. Why is anyone coming to a strip club to do business? Anyway, I would just say "I understand, I will be back later to show you a good time"
The second one....those guys are a lost cause. Or, "I'm here for a beer then I'm leaving"...don't waste your time. But if you MUST, maybe say "you must not have gotten a very good dance last time you were here"

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
oh, poor livenudegirlsunite...i HATE that...rrrrr, worked at a place where buisness men came in often...feel them out, see if later they may be more warm. if you think that's not happening, (and you're feeling spicy)i'd inform them that "gee you must be real buisness men being so professional as to come to a club..." or something to insult their ego, 'cause sometimes i feel like the guys like that are really condesending...ya know? i mostly would ignore such 'clientele'; but it is really hard to if it's slow or you are just having 'one of those days'!!!

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
I usually say,yeah like you can hear each other,or your not going to talk business here ,work my way in and sit down,if they still wont spend money and get a dance,I leave,sometimes its just an excuse not to spend money or look cool.

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
Actually I forgot,one time I go oh good Iam talking business too,lets talk the stock marketand I started talking and they were really impressed and ended up spending money,try that one.

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
To the 'we're talking biz' guys, I usually smile and say something like, 'ok well be sure and let me know when you've made your deal and are ready to celebrate', or 'oh I've helped alot of businessmen make deals - maybe I can help you', wink wink. Sometimes those guys really are talking biz - though not as often as in previous years, I still do see plenty of businessmen entertaining clients or courting potential clients. They often spend money once they're done with the heavy business talk, and I find my approach works alot - they often remember me and call me over later, or even invite me to join them right then.
With the ones who say they just watch the stage, just smile, tell them to have fun, and move on. Don't waste any time but don't let it bother you either - there may be potential spenders watching. Alot of guys choose who they want dances with by watching how the girls act and react with other customers. And a few guys decide they want dances later, and if you left on a good note, they may seek you out. I've worked in Vegas and I know the chances of a guy seeking you out later are slim, but it has happened to me a few times there, and even the fact that other customers may be watching is enough to make me want to keep it positive.

Thanks ladies! Excellent lines. God I love this site. :)

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
The stage watchers are hopeless. I admit to slipping a sneer in their direction. This isn't good because part of the job is taking rejection gracefully......the businessmen are a hit-or-miss. You have to gauge by their response and tone if they truly are interested in you. If they wave you away before you even walk up, it isn't likely that they will be getting any dances from you.
Watch their faces and body language to gauge your next move. You don't wanna waste your time.

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
I can't understand the stage watchers myself. shit, if you aren't going to interact (At Least tip them on stage dammit, I did that when I was too shy to get private dances (damm that feels like a long time ago. :-/ )) if not. get yourself a sixpack, and rent a porno, it is a lot cheaper. as for bussness, of the clubs I frequent in Greenville, SC only Platinum plus would have that, the others are more intimate. I couldn't talk busness because I would be to distracted. :-/

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
Or how about...
"I'm about to leave."
or
"I'm waiting for somebody."
Then I see them just sitting there 20 minutes later. Is there a good line for re approaching them?
-
Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
im waiting for someone... then they sit there by themselves and then leave... just say no buddy. maybe they were waiting for someone and decided to leave but somehow i dont believe it.
-
Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
Or how bought the guy thats like oh Iam waiting for my buddy and then well get dances and three hours latter hes sitting there alone,or the ones who before you can even get up to them,no thank you,I usually go oh do you know what time it is,when a guy says hes waiting for someone I will say tell me her name and I will get her and if he says hes leaving and you already asked but hes still there,go over and say oh I thought you were leaving,alot of times they are and they will say can you do a quick dance,or if they see you walk by alot will call you over and ask,I have personally never liked this type,its like they are settling for you because they didnt see anyone that really floated their boat.

Bad customer lines
How about, "I definitely want a dance from you before I leave!" Oh, sure. And another great one - "Boy, I wish you'd gotten here earlier before I spent all my money!"
And then there's "I'd love a dance, but I'm not sure my heart could take it."
There's a lot of stupid, potentially time-wasting shit guys say because they can't grasp the fact that a "no, thank you," won't kill us.
What else, I'm sure I heard them all tonight. Oh, "I'm waiting for one of those specials, can you come back then?" "My buddy's got all the money tonight, I paid last time."
Why is it so much more aggravating (at least it is to me) to hear this sort of crap than it is to just hear "No"?

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
We're just talking business and they are wearing jerseys or jeans and decent shirts, yeah right. At home it means they are usually vice cops, definitely if they stay on the phone a lot. Some people do come in to talk business, but I always just say I'll stop by when the business is handled so the fun can begin.
If you just watch the stage fine, watch and tip also please. Most guy who are true stage watchers will tip every girl or every girl they like, drink beer and hang out. I like these guys, the wannabe stage watchers are cheap skates b/c they usually try to nurse each beer as long as they can so they don't get thrown out for not meeting the drink minimum.
All the other excuses and such, I truly appreciate the customer who will say I'm not trying to waste your time so I'm here just to hang and won't be buying dances or just drinking. Thanks so much for saving me the effort of keeping you on my watch list as I make the rounds, thjis really does save time and keeps you from looking like a damn fool going around to the same table multiple times for nothing or for small tips.
The only thing I really hate is a-that we have to do the cattle call two-4-one which means walking around asking every one for a merchandise dance and b- those people who say no b/4 you even get there. The b- part of that really pisses me off. Half of the time when guys do that they don't even know what you want or its not merchandise dance time. I had a guy scream at me I don't want a dance from you when I was like a foot from the table but heading in his general direction. He was so loud every1 turned around and stared. I screamed back as loud as i could while the Dj was talking, non the less, thats really great but I wanted to know if you would move your chair over so I can finish dancing for the guy on the other side of you. Also, had a guy scream that at me once who had dropped a $100 on the floor. I screamed back, fabulous but would you like to pick ur money up off the floor or was that my go away tip? He actually gave me a nice tip for that one, but damn did he yell loud enough first or what?

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
to the 'we here for business" i usually tell them our sky-box champagne rooms are ideal for such (that they are private, less noisy,have four hi definition tv screens which can be tuned to the market ect. and it all overlooks the club so you can still enjoy the scenery) if the head of the group really brought his client for business and celebrating they normally appreciate this run-down, but if they are pulling a cheap one on their client, associate, ect it becomes obvious to all parties very fastwhen they try to hush me before i finish explaining where they could be conducting their private business instead of here on the floor

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
Azryale - That sounds like a really nice club. Great way to weed out the cheapos.
Last week I had a few guys who let me hang out and talk to them for about 5 minutes and then had the nerve to say that they weren't interested in buying a dance and that they didn't want to waste my time. That is so annoying because they did waste 5 minutes of my time. I really do appreciate the guys who just say no right off the bat.

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
I'll admit ladies, when a guy uses one of lines as an insincere way of brushing you off, its understandably irritating, but if I may bring up a line that Velvet mentioned:
Quote:
im waiting for someone... then they sit there by themselves and then leave...
Yes, I'll plead guily to having used this one on a few occasions. Problem is that in every instance, I really WAS waiting for someone.
That "someone" was a another dancer who I had given a 'yes' to for dances who told me "she'd be back for me" after she went to either: change outfits, use the restroom, finish dances with another customer, check in her money at the bar, etc. etc...
...and for whatever reason she forgot about me. ???
I'm sure something along these lines happens at your club almost every night. Believe me, if we guys had the foresight to know your co-worker would stand us up and expect us to wait forever for her like that, you just might be making a sale right now. I've regrettably turned down some nice gals under those circumstances that I would have otherwise said yes to.
Now there are sometimes valid explanations for these oversights, but not often. And when they happen to me, I become well...let's say a little less than chipper. Rather than take my anger out on an innocent third party, I just point my dogs towards the door and walk out with my money.
[grr]
Yes, such lines are rude, but realize that sometimes rudeness begets rudeness. Your customers don't like being strung along with nonsense either.

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
I have something to say. If you're sitting at the stage and you're not tipping, do yourself a favor and move!! Let a paying gentlemen sit there and you do what you gotta do.
-
Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
If a costumer say that probably he is not ready for companie or dances. i al way's tell them "how you can for business if there are walking so beautiful half naked women around your table? the most of the time they begin to smile and ask me to come back later on.
If there are costumers who are just watching i al way's say why you don't have enough money to order a drink or a dance for a nice girl (it's a little hard but the costumer feels a shame and maybe he will take a dance later. i go back to him after 15 min and ask him if he watched enough? if not i don't waist my time on him any longer!

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
I have low tolerance for freeloaders who dont give anything back, which I guess really comes from my experiences in the bar/restaurant business. I truly wish the jerks who sit at a table or barstool in my restaurant and only order sodas (and nothing else, no food etc), thereby denying me or someone else a chance to make more money with a real customer, could be called on the carpet for their selfish insensitivity. Yet even if we did one, there will be others. Its a part of the business - a part I hate, but my hating it wont change it.
Thats sort of how the SC freeloaders are. One dancer might yell at them for being freeloading bastards, but even if they leave, there will be others. It wont change, because there will always be freeloading customers in both industries.
Perhaps the most effective thing you can do with them is pass the word around that they are indeed freeloading, and have as many dancers as possible ignore them. Often times they want something for free, so they get off on having you talk to them, even if they have no intentions of ever spending a dime on you or anyone. Treat 'em like wallpaper - part of the scenery, but insignificant.

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
The best reply for "I'm watching the stage." is "Remember, this is a pay-per-view event.".
But this works much better coming from the DJ, probably...
These lines are generally used by guys who just can't say "No, thanks", for whatever reason, and should just be blown off. Their tone of voice and the way they use their eyes will tell you if they are saying "No" or not--but usually they are. Go on to someone else.
I never sit at the stage, though I try like hell to get a stage crowd going. When I tip, which I always do, especially if she has been a good tipper for me, I will walk up, give it to her without a big fuss, and go back to the table or bar. I've seen enough, believe me, and I'm not going to try to get a personal show for one f**king dollar, especially if it's a friend of mine up there.
When the girls at a different club than I work in come up, and I can tell they are going to hustle me, I immediately tell them I'm a DJ and don't get dances so they won't waste their time on me.

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
"we're here doing bussiness" I would say.....I'm here doing bussiness too...(and tell them about the dances )....I offer 3 types of dances ...floor dance table dance and couch dance ...so when you are done with your bussiness let me know and i woild be glade to give you All the dances you can stand.

Re: "We're talking business", "I ju
So what should a guy like myself say when he really likes to watch the stage show? I love to watch dancers who still "strip" and use the pole. I'm I the only one?
-
Re:"We're talking business", "I just watch the stage"
One thing I do before I sit down is I ask the guy if he's waiting for someone. If he says no, I'm covered on a few angles. If a girl said she was sitting with him, I can truthfully say that he said he wasn't waiting for someone. Also, I've actually had guys, after I ask that, say, oh, well, I'm waiting for someone...(I already asked that, so WTF?) If it's the watching the stage, I usually say 'well, don't forget to tip the girls. That's what makes us take our clothes off.' Also, if a guy tips me real good on stage while others are twiddling their thumbs, I tell them about how allergic I get to nontippers. lol Another big one I get that oooohhh pissses me off is the 'oh, i'm just looking' How do you deal with that?
