Intimidated by high volume club
Hi everyone,
I have a question for you girls who work in clubs that get PACKED. I recently started working in a new club and on Fridays and Saturdays it gets so packed you can barely walk across the place. I have never worked in such a busy club before and the amount of people everywhere can be quite intimidating. I just don't know who to approach and how to approach them...I have never really needed to hustle to make a lot of money but I think I am gonna start. I was just looking for some tips on how to be less intimidated by the very high number of customers and how to make the most $$!
Re:Intimidated by high volume club
Seems some ladies get intimidated by a packed club alot. Look at it this way, more customers=More money! It can be abit much at first, but treat this club as if it has 10 customers. Remember, people are enjoying themselves, and not all eyes are on you. They are not talking or laughing at you, they are there doing their own thing. And it would probably be a great pleasure for you to give them one hell of a dance.
Want the money? Stand out! Work the crowd, it becomes second nature before long, sounds like this place has potential for you, grab it now!
PS it's the same as 10 customers, only alot more, meaning more money potential. Thats all. Jump in.
On the plus side until you get comfortable, you will not be seen as well through all the people as you would with less in the club. Use it to your advantage!

Re:Intimidated by high volume club
My club is like this on Friday and Saturday nights too. What I do is introduce myself quickly while walking around if I make eye contact with someone. A few seconds of chit-chat, then axk if they would like a dance. I find that most times it's more efficient to just flat out ask the guys in this type of situation. There is no time to talk to everyone. What I find happens most is the the guys are more likely to grab me when I am walking by or getting off stage to ask for a lap dance. Though the busy crowd can be aggravating, I make a lot of money with a minimal amount of hustling on my part.
The great thing about busy clubs is the energy you get from the crwd while onstage. I love that!
Re:Intimidated by high volume club
I work at a club like that...i briefly talk to each and every guy in the club that doesnt have a girl with him, then ask for a dance, if no, move on...then go back to the ones that no longer have a girl...repeat all night long...
Re:Intimidated by high volume club
I know what you mean Theresa, it can be pretty intimidating. It seems it's really hard to even walk around the club and some people get so rude, people forget manners and knock my short a** over. :grumpy:
Re:Intimidated by high volume club
Don't take rejection personally.
Keep it moving. If the guy to girl ratio is that high, I don't think I'd spend even 1 whole song "talking" to 1 guy. Maybe a whole song talking to a group.
This is your hit and miss environment. Take advantage of it.
Re:Intimidated by high volume club
High volume can be a smokescreen. Especially on a weekend night where in many clubs 70% of the customers are college aged guys and girls that amount to very little income.
All you can do is work the floor and find guys who will buy dances.
Re:Intimidated by high volume club
I work in a club that's like that on weekends. The best thing about it is that when you get off stage you have sooo many ones jammed into your g string :)
Re:Intimidated by high volume club
lucky girl!i started in high volume clubs and now due to relocation, am stuck sitting for far too long trying to charm customers because the girls at my club outnumber the guys at times.high volume clubs may be intimidating,but its got good points..you can always do a dance, then say you are off to the ladies,or to change,and get another dance from the other side of the room, rather than talking.what you should do, is get a confident strut and smile,major eyecontact as you walk around.the guys that like your type/look will notice you as you walk by, say hi.always be polite,prowl/flirt/pose/strut often and you can return to men you danced for earlier and ask if they missed you,etc.work the room!also,wearing something extra sparkly will get you noticed.enjoy it,im at quiet clubs now and its boring.you can always change your mood and go to a new bunch of people.stay focused, read up on hustling tips,and move about..high volume means more $$$ potential!!
Re:Intimidated by high volume club
Heh, a packed club is usually EASIER to work - it's like shooting fish in a barrel. You can just about approach anybody and get a dance. It also becomes more of a seller's market, in which case guys will tend to flag down and ask girls for dances more than when it's slow. I love a packed club! More people, more money, more dances, more laughing, more partying, more money....did I say more money? When you walk through, just start approaching guys the same as you would if it's less packed - you'll just have more guys to choose from and it will likely be an easier sell. Work it girl!
Re:Intimidated by high volume club
my club is so packed on the weekends that people are standing, but then theres also like 50 girls working. i much prefer the week daytime shifts, when the older businessmen come in for lunch. a few days last week i was the only girl in my club from 1130-1230. i left after 5 hours with $650.
Re:Intimidated by high volume club
I too am intimidated by a very large crowd (and/or packed club).... the reason why it would intimidate me is the same when I go into a store and am confronted with TOO many choices. I feel overwhelmed and then under-confident because of the "too many choices".
I was given a tip on how I can over-come this.. just focus on one individual at a time. I'm not saying spend a whole 3 songs (usual time frame) with each individual however just focus on one individual at a time and try and forget that there is so many of them. Stick to a spot/area and work that spot/area then find another spot and work that spot/area.
Re:Intimidated by high volume club
I find it helps sometimes to approach groups of guys with another dancer. Also, if there are alot of girls working, theme costumes have always helped me stand out.
I noticed you posted this topic before christmas - is the club still busy now? I'm curious about how those fort erie / niagara clubs are doing now.
I work on the other side of the border in Hamburg by Buffalo & it has been terrible lately - I realize it's January, but this place has been DEAD since the no-smoking law went into effect this summer. So it's time I started checking out other clubs - do you know anything about the club New York, New York?
