When should I leave the table?
My club does not sell hours. All my money comes from private dances. I am on stage for 3 songs. Then I have 9 songs to hustle the floor. This set up SUCKS A$$, and somehow I manage. Every second is precious. I learned how to sell in 1 minute because I never really had a choice. A problem arises when a customer has spent, say, $20 on me.* They want me to sit and talk for a while. Frankly, I can't do that even if they spent $200. I don't want to seem rude when I leave them, and I will leave them because I have to. How do I do that? If I am to make any money, I have to bounce from table to table to table. What's a polite way of saying, "Thanks for the business. Gotta go. Bye!"
*It might be a regional thing. If a customer tips me $5, he thinks, "Well, she just has made minimum wage. I made her night. Now she can sit with me!"
Re: When should I leave the table?
How many girls are at your club? Like, four? This set up certainly does give you the shaft. At all three clubs I worked at, I had at least an hour before I had to go on stage again.
The best way is to say, "Hey, I'm really enjoying chatting with you, but I have a whole bunch more people who want to see me." Most guys will understand that you're busy, especially if you make it sound like you've been requested. And if they say, "You can't even talk for a minute?" then reply with, "That's what the gentleman before you said when I came to your table."
But on the whole, there should be more girls in the club so that you have more time on the floor.

I agree with what abbeynormal said. There are alot of times that I have to get up and go after a dance. Most of the time once the dance is over, I will ask them if they enjoyed their dance, giving them a chance to offer me a drink if they want me to continue sitting and if they do, once i finish my drink i tell them thankyou, i had fun, I will try to come back before you leave and check on you. If they dont buy me a drink, I will recommend someone else for a lapdance and tell them to have fun...but not too much**WINK** and i will talk to them again. If they persist in my company, I will ask them to come in on a slow night early so I have more time to sit and chat. This has built up my early clientel a lot!

If a guy tried to pull that on me, I would tell him if I wanted to make min. wage, i would be at mcdonalds. I would also let him know my time is valuble and i have a job to do.
Good luck!

I don't usually have this problem.
Are your dances in a separate room or right out on the floor? If it's right out on the floor then it might be difficult.
If it's in a dance room, I'll say to them, "thank you, I'll be right out" and they leave. Then I go up to them and say "thank you again for the dances. I hope to do more for you later on." and give them a squeeze on the hand or leg. if they are with a friend, I will try to sell the friend.
Then I move on....and when I've exhausted all my options, I'll go back. (i work in a small club.)
I also don't want to be seen sitting with a customer too long. I think it looks bad.

Here's what I would do.
A. If you can tell he's outta money, say "Baby I would love to talk, but I really need to make some money tonite, so I'll go do some more dances and catch up with you later?"
This is his opportunity to offer you money.
B. If you think he has more money, sit ONE song and chat, then get up in his face, hands on his shoulders, and sweetly say, "can I dance for you again sweetheart?" while rubbing his shoulders.
Re: When should I leave the table?
Hmmm this is hard one for me. I always sit for one or two songs before offering a dance. That way they know they are worth my time. If a guy has spent $80 or more on me I ask if he has an e-mail address and I offer to send him some pictures as a thank you. This way I have opened up a line of communication to hopefully develop a regular and they feel special because they are getting some OTC communication. Maybe try that out if you're comfortable with it? You could even make a hotmail or yahoo address with just your stage name and/or your club? That way you can spend less time with them in the club and more time hustling other guys, but still make the spender feel special. "Hey I really have to keep moving but thank you so much for the dances, do you have an e-mail address? I'd love to send you some pics as a thank you and stay in touch?"
