"Use The Force..." To Hustle
This is a half-serious post. OK you've probably heard of a movie series called "Star Wars." In said movies there is a mystical power called "The Force" in which people strong in "The Force" can manipulate weak-minded people.
I've never been brave enough to try it, but I wonder what would happen if I started repeating phrases to customers like, "You want a dance, I can tell," and "You don't need another drink, you need Me." ;D Basically, it's using the power of suggestion, but also some people ARE more magnetic than others...and some are more weak-minded than others.
Naturally I am not advising ABUSE of mind-control tactics. But if it could make you money, what is the harm in trying? Has anyone done anything remotely like this? It might be interesting to hear about....

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
hehe. yeah interesting. i kind of wanted to try it too but was a bit embarassed and didint wanna seem you know, "pushy". but i guess if u say it sort of in a flirty-light way...it could work ;)
some guys might actualy like being told what to do ;)

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
I use Jedi mind tricks all the time at work. (i.e. me: I've come to get you for your dance! Unsuspecting Customer: Er...Ok!)
-
Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
Yep yep. I do it a lot once I have them in my clutches.... Major eye contact... "You want to do that again." "You don't want me stop." etc.... It works great, and if said with the right amount of sexiness or flirtiness it's a good thing.
(in my best Yoda impression) "Mmmm, Dance was good, yes. want more you do, yesss."

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
It works in some clubs, like last week..... you look ready for that dance now.....oh ok lets do it then. but there are other clubs that it just doesn't work at.

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
Yea... last Friday my earnings doubled when I tested out a new technique... never "ask" for anything... find a sexy (and not rude... just playful) way to ask for dances, get another dance in the VIP, etc, without actually punctuating it with a question mark. Ex "You should come with me now..." or "It's time for a dance"... or already in the back, in a sexy and excited voice "More, more!"
Works best with the ones that sit in the corners... just to add that statistic... they WANT to be toyed with!

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
Works. I maintain that all men like being told what to do, at least to some extent.

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
Maxine, its the suggestive sell, and it works like a charm. Here are some basics:
Use statements that lead them to say "Yes" a lot. Like, "It's OK if I sit here, isn't it?" as yo are plopping down, or "long day at work, huh?" and so on. Either you know they will say yes (THey come in wet, so you ask if it is still raining) or you lead them to yes with the statement-question format. Do this 5 or 6 times in a conversation.
Use their name, and the word "you" as much as you can.
Get them accustomed to following orders. I use a back rub pitch, where I give them a massage for one song. All the while I am saying, "You like that, don't you, Dave?" "Lean forward, would you, Dave?" and on and on. and then the killer line " That feels good, don't you think, Dave? Now, those are just my hands, IMAGINE what I can do to you with my whole entire body!" At the end, one more zinger for a close: "That felt good, didn't it Dave? Now let's go have some REAL fun. " And off they go.
During the dance, I give lots of eye contact, and keep reaffirming "That's good, isnt it Dave?" "I know you like that, dave" and when it's time for the next dance, "That felt really good, didnt it dave? Let's do it again!"
Ending every sentence with isn't it, doesn't it, don't you think etc will make you feel like a broken record at the beginning, but once you get used to it, you won't even realize you are doing it.

;D This paragraph made me think of 2001, A Space Odyssey where HAL 9000 is talking to Dave persuasively....LOL
Cool. I am going to do this as soon as I can & hone my Jedi sales skills.

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
it does indeed work. not only do i use the jedi mind tricks to sell, i "meditate on the force" before working to floor. i sit on one of the couches and breathe deeply while imagining my money box spilling all over the place with cash. i cannot stress the power of visualization.

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
I used the force on this guy on Saturday night. It took me about 3 songs to get him into the VIP room! I did the intro, small talk with him the first song, the second song I did a dance, and half way through the third song I danced and then the second half of the third song I got dressed, and said "we're going to the private room right now" and basically pulled him in there. It did help to know that a floorman told me this is the type of guy that likes to be told what to do, so I'm going to try that more!
I do that with dances too, "you don't want me to stop now do you?" *while I'm shaking my head no*, they always say "no, I don't want you to stop" so then I'll say "that's what I thought cause I"m just getting started" hahahaha!!!! Love it, love it, love it!!!!

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
I am a very pushy lady when it comes to hustling the floor. You can't be a hustler if you are not pushy.

but what if you aren't the stripper droid they're looking for?! do they tell you that you may go about your business and move on?
LOL. i'm a star wars geek so i'm just eating this thread up.

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
Ive tried the visualization thing. Purse overflowing with money, and it seemed to work.
Tonight I will try the YES questions.
And speaking of treating guys like shit, I have an amazing story. There was some kid up in the front row with his cell phone. I thought he was taking pictures so I took it, and chucked it back stage and finnished my stage set. After looking through the photo album I walked onto the floor. He asked for it back. I treated him like shit! I threatend to keep it if he didnt start spkeaing to me nicer. I decided to mabey see if i could get him to open his wallet and give me a bit of cash for it. I couldnt do that. So i just gave it to him. Then he says "... so can we go upstairs?" WHAT THE HELL!

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
LOL! i so pretend i'm a jedi all the time! ido the jedi hand wave and everything! ok, so yeah i'm a bit of a geek... but when i go up to a guy and say, "we're going to VIP" and wave my hand like i'm a Jedi and it works, hey, why not? most of the time they'll laugh and it'll start a short convo, abut how not only am i BEAUTIFUL but i'm FUNNY and GEEKY too? damn, i'm the ultimate package! so off to VIP we go...

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
:rotfl: *whew!* I needed that. :)
On a serious note if you backed those lines up with major confidence, perhaps they could actually work.

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
Absolutely these things work. They are just simple influence techniques. My all-time favorite is what is referred to as the "Buy Now Close". While this technique only works when spoken in English because of the play on words, it's insane how effective it is. It sounds kind of like this:
"By now, you've probably tossed the idea around of getting a dance and by now you've realized it that if you don't get one, you never will so how about I start a dance for you?"
What you are saying is "by now" but what the brain registers is "BUY NOW". Car salespeople have been using this trick for years! "Buy now, you've probably shopped around and compared prices and buy now you've pretty much realized that this car is the one you really want so let's get the papers signed." etc.

This couldn't be farther from the truth. Men VERY often don't like being pushed to make a sale. I've had many tell me they hate pushy dancers and will often get angry and annoyed after the 2nd or 3rd time the pushy dancer comes to harass them again. It can ruin the whole SC experience, and many customers have left the club because of dancers being too pushy with them. It shows desperation!
If you are a newbie, DON'T follow this advice! And besides, this thread is about a specific sales technique, not about being pushy and irritating.

i'm going to use this tonight.
i said to one guy, "i'm the dancer you're looking for. you want a dance from me right now." i was blown away by how well it worked. awesome!

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
Yep. And if I'm not saying it, I'm thinking it in their thought field. I swear it works.

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
Ahh the famed direct link...hehe.
Today I started pushing the multiple dance hard. Usually when they say no after I ask for a second or third, I relent right away. Tonight I was like, "Ohhh baby just one more, your friend can wait another minute...etc." Like 2 to 3 times max in a row of trying to convince them with this type of line.
When this worked like a charm, I said to myself, "Duh, the most obvious close, when they are pinned down...how did you not see this sooner?"
So much easier than trying to get the guy to go in there in the first place with the "hard sell". I am really kicking myself right now for not seeing it sooner.

Re: "Use The Force..." To Hustle
I don't fuck around with long 'sales lines'.
"I can dance for you now?" as I'm nodding my head yes. Then when the song is over, I'll dance just a few seconds into the next one, get into a sexy position, lean in and "We can do another?" again nodding my head yes. Or, when going for VIP: "we're going to VIP now?" - also while nodding my head yes. That's my "force". The Bridgette Force :P Works so much it's almost ridiculous ;D
