By writing them down in a little book and writing answers down later. But NOT carry a book with me. That would look stupid. Hope that clarifies some of that?

I totally agree with TigersMilk. When you go on break each night, take out your little notebook/notepad, write down all the most common objections you heard that night... then at the end of a fortnight (after working 4 nights each week) you will probably have noticed a similiar thread in re: the objections.:)
Once you notice the pattern, then you can devise of ways of responding to the objections or how to overcome them (how to sell a dance to that person).
Ultimately, work smarter not harder. Be more aware of what is happening around you... who is looking at you (without being obvious you are being observant)... the body language of the guys. Body language is a big one as we (human beings) communicate most of our message via "non verbal communication" (aka body language).
Become a people watcher - study people.
The way I minimise my objections is by usually only approaching the punters who have made it clear that they want to be approached either verbally (always nice when they ask you to join them) or non-verbally (looking at me, looking around the room, etc).;)
I would also advise you of going thru this section of the forum (Hustle Hut) as there are ALOT of information within all the various threads. 8)

I find you save a lot of time and energy wooing if you pay close attention with your initial meeting. Is he working to hold your eye contact and your participation in the conversation? Those are near perfect cues of interest. Also if he speaks slowly and stops to ponder his answers a bit like he loves conversation it may pay to talk through 2-3 songs. Some dudes fall in love with a girl who's in love with what he has to say. Don't walk away before you spot what he's in love with - beauty, intelligence, sassiness etc.

You might try saying something like, "Okay, that's cool. But if you don't mind, could you tell me why? I''m still kinda new and would really appreciate your help."
But not if the guy's a total jerk. And only if you're ready for unfiltered honesty. Otherwise, insight from your customers could really make a difference here early in the game. Good luck.
