    asking for tips???

    after i finish dancing for someone i rarely ask for tips, but some girls are really good about getting them. i asked one guy flat out for a tip and he ended up giving me $20, but i felt bad about asking and that guy was really nice in general. another guy came (GROSS!!!) when i was dancing for him and i demanded a tip from him. so how do you go about asking for a tip?

    I smush my boobs together, look at my cleavage, and say in a sexy voice, "You can tip me right here, sweetheart," as if I'm doing him a favor.

    I have read on some other threads, some girls will say that a $20 dance is 24.36(for example) taxes/gas included. But, I am not really that type.
    Recently when I am asked for the cost at the end of a few dances, I will respond honestly, and mention"..I don't mind tips.." and smile. But I think that I lose them on the chance, because I cannot make eye contact and hyptnotize them when they are counting the damage in their wallet . lol

    I do silly shit. I hold out my thong side and say, "Honey I'm like a bank. Deposit your cash here and watch my interest grow!"

    But I'm real fuckin' cheeky, and I think only that personality can pull it off.

    I used to ask and sometimes get them, but I don't ask now and i still get them just as much. I feel a 20 dollar dance is expensive in itself, asking for a tip is kinda greedy imo. Although, it completely depends on the guy, and situation. but, i am less greedy and more happy these days.

    i say "its $20(or whatever) and a big juicy tip" and i say it to every single guy, and i always always get a tip, usually a 10 or 20, so you're losing out by not asking. you just have to say it with conviction, and don't feel bad, 20 bucks isn't a lot, and you're worth it
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    At the end of the dance I say "So that'll be $x, and anything extra is appreciated"

    USUALLY gets me at least an extra 5 and I don't feel like I sound greedy.

    Once though I tried straight up asking "we work mainly on tips here, so it'd be appreciated!" and I got $40 out of a guy who only bought 5 dances. That was cool but I'm not quite ballsy enough to do that more often.

    I recently started asking everyone for tips. Don't feel bad! At first I did, but I quickly got over it because the custies are there to spend money and we are there to make it. And plus the extra money I get NOW is much better than the money I wasn't getting when I wasn't asking. It's amazing how well the basics work! I love it!

    ^ yeah, you gotta get over that greedy feeling, by that point you should already have tried to upsell him twice (at least) so now is your last chance to squeeze out more money

    I say, "That'll be $X and whatever you want to tip." That way I'm not outright asking for the tip but I've made it clear that a tip would be appropriate. I've gotten from $5- $100 extra by saying this.

    I always ask for tips. Im good at getting guys to tip not only me but the host and other girls.

    A story from 2 weekends ago: A typical story of how agressive I am...

    A girl was sitting on a guy. About 15 minutes later I went to sit with his friend. I talked him into VIP within 5 minutes - and said "Hey! Lets all go!" so his friend and the girl come too. My guy got 1/2 an hour for us and for his friend and the girl.

    How it works at our club. They sign their slip when theyre done. The tip line is for the host (not us) so, I say (and I always do this) The tip line is for the host - put $XXX in there. You have to tip us by cash so well go to the ATM machine.

    ^^ This works because I say it in a way of thinking that he was already planning on tipping us... I dont ask for a tip. I talk about the tip as tho its a given.

    So, we walk to the ATM machine. I have him take out $200 and say "Thank you soooo much!" and hand the girl $100 and keep $100. He stuttered a little like "All of it?!" "Yes sweetie - you are suuuuch a doll!" walk away...

    The girl came up to me later thanking profusely saying she NEVER gets tips. Im like what?! She was amazed. I said "watch me honey" This is why the bouncers love me...

    I am super super agressive. The guys have no chance to say no. They will say to me that I am agressive to which I giggle, smile, say nuh uh - I just like you! Or I hear "youre a great saleswoman" to which I reply "If im so great why am i not rubbing on you right now?!" which leads to a dance... ah, whatever. It works...

    Other things - I never offer change - if the dance was $20 and they hand me a $100 I will say "A tip for me?!" smile. Theyll usually give me a funny look then say, keep $10 for a tip or whatever amount...Obviously I know its not going to be an $80 tip but it puts TIP in their head. I always ASSUME and its rare that I dont get it because the guy doesnt want to see my smile disappear.

    Another one is after a $20 dance to have them hand me a $20 while I have a big smile and then make a play pouty face and say all sad "no tip?!" and theyll usually hand me a few $1s or a $5 or whatever... <--- how can they say NO to that. Another one where the guy will feel like an ass over a few bucks. They dont want to make cute dancer girl sad.

    Don't....just DON'T.
    It's tacky, it's rude, and you will turn off potential repeat customers. Essentially you are saying no to $1000s in the future for $100 right now.

    I was sooooo embarassed when a girl I got my custie to sign out asked for a tip. His response was, "I just paid you $600 to sit here with your clothes on and sip champagne. You just burned your bridge with me" The next night he signed a bunch of girls out for multiple hours.

    He comes in a few times a year and always drops a few thousand dollars AND overtips when he's not told to do it.

    Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

    Audrey, I highly disagree with some of your tactics of not giving change back. It doesn't build rapport or a steady long term client base. Clients remember these kind of things, so when they do come back...they may choose someone else because they remembered the last time when you made them feel uncomfortable.

    I club-hop quite a bit, and even when I'm not club-hopping, I don't have a ton of repeat customers. I could probably get away with Audrey's super-aggressive way of getting tips, but I just can't bring myself to do it. $20 for a three-minute dance is plenty. I appreciate tips, but never ask for them.

    Its all about reading the situation. If the guy's a jerk I'll say, "its $30. Plus tip." Looking right in his eyes when the dance is over. Fuck him. I dont want to dance for him again anyway. Most nice guys A) pay in larger bills and B) don't mind tipping at all. So if I get handed a $100 bill for three songs ($90) I say, "Would you like change back? Or is can I keep this as a tip?" *big smile* Or if its say two dances ($60) and I get handed a $100 bill, I ASK " It's $60, how much change would you like back?" I think the eye contact, big smile, and the word 'change'. Nobody wants 'change'. "Keep the change."

    You dont see what Im saying. Its a joke and has always been taken as a joke. Ive never burnt a bridge and Ive never lost a customer. I have customers come look for me because Im always happy, smiling and joking with customers. Ive never made someone uncomfortable - I also know how to judge customers and which ones this will work with and which ones it wont. I am not pushy - its always nice, jokingly and with a smile. It works VERY well for me.

    I will admit - I have a friend who is the pushy tips type person - and I hate being associated with her on these terms. I am not pushy and I do not TELL people to tip me. I just use persuasion and it works well.

    Theres a difference in being a pushy bitch and being agressive...

    i'm with audrey on this one, i think as long as you're being playfull, and funny etc, being agressive is fine. half the time when i go to the CR i just turn to the guy in the beginning and say "ok, give me all your money" and they laugh and DO IT. its all in the presentation.
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    I have to say I agree with Britney Ireland, I just feel that it's tacky, I cringe when I see girls doing this over and over. I get tipped often enough without asking.
    On the other hand.... like Gabrielle MB, if the guy is a jerk and I'm unlikely to ever dance for him again, sure I'll hold my g string out and make the pouty face.

    But that's just me, if it works for you go for it.

    This just goes to show that something that works well for one person wont work for others. Its a personality thing too. While I can totally get away with my tactics and be taken as lighthearted and fun - the same tactic done the wrong way may be taken as being a money hungry bitch.

    Thats why I like HH so much. Some things I see on here and Im like YEA that will work for me and other things that girls say work great for them make me cringe....

    Thats also the problem with email and written forums....you can't interpret tone of voice.

    I saw Audrey use the word "aggressive" and then talk about not giving change back. After she clarified, I wouldn't use the word "aggressive" to describe that strategy. I call it "jessica simpsoning" playing dumb and cute with a hidden profit motive

    I used to never ask for tips but where I currently work it's the norm. It's a tourist driven club so I'm not building up repeat clientèle.

    I NEVER ask for tips at the beginning, that's tacky. I also read my customer, if it would kill rapport I don't do it. I do it flirty like at the end, after I can feel they might not tip on their own accord. A lot of guys will tip without you even hinting so hinting can kill it. I try to read the guy the best I can so I don't ruin the experience for him. If you're providing a genuinely good experience most guys will tip on their own, but some need a polite nudge

    Some girls are way too aggressive about it, but this makes me stand out cuz I'm not. I'm happy with whatever they give that's extra. I've seen some girls actually arguing for specific dollar amounts, RIDICULOUS. Have some class

    I would never drag my guy to the ATM to tip me either, that kills the fantasy, but at my club we get tipped on CC so that makes a big difference. I also ask for tips for the hosts and they in turn ask for tips for me, which works out better ($$$) for all of us
