Dance for the B-day boy....anybody else?
Here is the situation that I need help with....
You approach a group of guys, they are all there to celebrate this one guy's engagement/birthday...whatever. You chat, his friends buy him a dance. Show goes on...he is back. How do you sell dances to other guys in the group???? /:O
I tried to ask them right there as the first guy sits down...they say no ...they are not interested. I almost think they do not want to get the dance cause they want the B-day boy feel special. Fine...I give them some time and let the B-day boy tell them how good I was...I come back in 5 min.. and still nobody wants more.
How do you sell to a group???
Re: Dance for the B-day boy....anybody else?
in that case you may not be able to. dont worry about it, youll see that alot at birthdays and bachelor parties.
Most of these special occassions mayb actually be someones first time at a club and they may not really be into it but there for their friend.
Theyre usually far more relaxed at say a private residence or hotel where some bachelor parties happen.
Re: Dance for the B-day boy....anybody else?
I usually avoid these guys like the plague. They are there to get drunk and see naked women, usually they get VERY few dances.
It's the business meetings/parties that are usually lucrative. you'd think the bachelor/birthday boy would get treated nicely by his friends, but this usually isn't the case so to me it isn't worth the time spent trying to ge tem to get more than one for just one guy.

I agree with that 100%. Here are work there are less than a handful of guys who go to the SC say monthly, and only a few of those, including myself, will actually get dances. We had a bach party at a SC for a guy here at work recently, and a dozen guys went along. I'd say less than half got 1 dance, and maybe 2 or 3 got multiple dances.
I'd guilt each guy a the table into buying the guest of honor dance after dance after dance. Once they are tapped out on the guest of honor, move along.
Re: Dance for the B-day boy....anybody else?
based on the comments ...would you then say most of you prefer to approach guys sitting there alone rather then approaching guys in groups????
I definetily prefer single guys too but it seem lately my club is full of guys in groups and I do not have any other choice.
I am not sure how to act if I see a say a group of 3 and there is a dancer already sitting there. The time I sat down one dancer got mad at me for "stealing" her customers..... I kind of undersand it...it takes time to figure out who out of a group will buy a dance...but on the other hand...what the hell...there are 3 of them and one of her...
any advice????
Re: Dance for the B-day boy....anybody else?
When I approach a table with 2 or more customers but only one dancer I smile and ask if I can join them, this way if they are waiting for someone else, I'm not taking anyone's customer and the other dancer will typically make eye contact and make a gesture to the guy she is trying to hustle, plus with 2 girls there its easier to sell dances.
Re: Dance for the B-day boy....anybody else?
it usually takes the people with the birthday boy or bachelor longer to warm up, meaning they need to get drunk but after awhile they forget about the friend and want to party also

There are several posts about selling to a group. You need to be the "party fun girl." If you avoid them, you are potentially losing a huge amount of earnings, especially if you work weekends. Just give the birthday boy the best, most show-stopping dance, then work the table for more. If none of them seem to be spending or into it, THEN move on.....usually there are at least 2-3 buyers in a group of 6 or more......

Different tactics for different groups.
Groups there with a purpose (birthday and bucks parties, for instance), concentrate on getting the group to buy the birthday boy or buck a dance. Once you've done the incredibly amazing dance for the birthday boy or buck, see if anyone else in the group wants one. If no go, then move on.... maybe return later to check in on the party esp. if you left a really good impression with the birthday boy or buck as he may go for another one later or get a mate to go for one.
The group of mates out on the town: Find out who is the leader or alpha male of the group and play up to him.... get him to buy for his mates or himself.
As for how to approach a table with a dancer already there... watch for a second to see which member(s) of the group the dancer is hustling so you will just invite yourself over via the others that she isn't.... and only if she isn't be assertive (not agressive) enough with the sale be the leader and help close the sale (including the other dancer in the sale, if possible).
You could work on finding three other dancers who you know you can "call upon" to aid you in "working a group" ;)
