    Default Reject's spotlight

    Throughout the night our club runs random specials like a 2-for-the-price-of-1 lapdance or whatever. If it's really busy they make it more interesting like 4-for-1 if EVERY girl on the floor is taken back for a dance. I totally understand where they're coming from and I know they're trying to help us sell dances-- I mean who could turn down an offer like that? But people do.

    Last night they ran the special and there were maybe 15 girls working. One other girl and I were the last standing after being rejected by every guy in the club. There were still *at least* 20 customers sitting out the special who could have chosen either of us but no takers. Just to be sure though, management makes us stand up front for a couple minutes while the DJ berates the crowd, "Just 2 more girls and it's a 4-for-1! Are you guys really going to ruin it for everyone else?" etc. I don't know which is worse: being chosen as a peer-pressured last resort or struting your shit back to the dressing room. Talk about humiliating. I'm always hearing how important it is to look like you're in high demand, whether you are or not, and being showcased as the last loser available sure doesn't help.

    Anyone else's club do this sort of thing? Any tips for avoiding being the last girl standing?

    hide under the counters in the DR when they do specials. or go to the bathroom. or give a guy a dance for free to prevent having to go up there- just get him to go along with it, and then maybe he'll buy more later.

    Good thinking, Gypsy...

    ...heck, I'D prefer giving a free dance to doing a 4-for-1. That's just shitty!

    I could hide from a 2-for-1 (though I wouldn't want to because I usually sell them) but when they run a 'crowd participation' special, everyone is forced to the floor.

    Free dance? Can't say I've tried that. If I didn't have to pay the club half my dance money (whether I collect it or not) that might be a good idea, but it's a pretty hard thought to bribe a guy to dance with me and then pay for it myself. Would that really help?

    Hmm. In that case go to the bathroom and make really awful noises when someone knocks.

    Of course this doesn't work if it's a frequent thing.

    I used to hate these! It makes you feel like a cow on parade for an auction. I can understand the "specials", however if you don't sell one you shouldn't be made to feel even worse!

    I like the hiding in the bathroom and making noises. I'm going to have to go with that one. I had a manager catch me sneaking to the bathroom so I told him I had an overactive bladder and he actually believed me and told me whenever i have to go, just go.

    My club used to make all the girls who didn't sell the special get up on stage and dance through both of the special songs. It was the total loser spotlight/walk of shame.

    That sucks. I would feel so humiliated. It reminds me of a few times being on stage and noone was tipping and the DJ said something like, hey guys don't let her get all alone up there, this is more like pay-per-view. I know he was only trying to help me, but what a great way to announce to the entire club that nobody wanted to come up and give me a measly dollar.

    OMG that's horrible. At least my club usually leaves the stage empty so the guys know if they don't buy the dance, they're going to watch paint dry instead.

    Cattle Call!!
    I always hated those. What about doing a discount dance for $10 so you're not screwed paying the club $10? I bet those 4 songs are actually like 2 songs. Still 4 for 1 is retarded.

    OMG!! This has to be my #1 DJ pet peeve!! Next time he (there's one in particular at my club that pulls this one out) does that, I'm going to inform him afterwards to just STFU [nicely, of course!!] and let me dance in peace. I don't care about stage money anyhow!!

    My club does "reviews": 2-for-1 plus a promo item for $20 over the regular dance price. There are some nights when it's like pulling teeth to sell (especially when it's a young crowd. The cheapest dance in my club is $25, but most of us refuse to do it, leaving the $35 champagne room as the next cheapest, which means the dance is $55. And the promo items are kind of craptacular.) We get one song to try to sell the item, during which the stage is empty, and then we have to go up there for an entire song if we haven't sold. Ugh. A lot of us just stand there with the offending promo item in hand and wait for the end of the song. It suuuucks. We run between 20 and 30 girls most nights, though, so it's not often that only a couple of us end up standing there alone.

    i recently lost an amateur contest, and i think it was the first thing i have ever lost (not because im just that great, but because i never enter things where i may lose)
    its good to know that other people lose stuff, and they live to tell about it, because at the time it feels like you may actually die
    but its ok, because we dont always lose, you still sell dances, and i still got the job lol

    Ugghhh^^^^your club is the worse when it comes to this!


    I used to hide between the rows of lockers and the wall to avoid 2-for-1's whenever possible! I still have nightmares about that God-awful Mission Impossible music(means 2-for-1 time).

    The worse part is if you were already dancing on stage when one is called, you have to get down, walk around and try to sell. If you don't sell one, you get to dance on stage during the 2-4-1, and then, you get to resume stage again after its over!!!

    TOTAL REJECT-ROUND-UP!!!!!

    Oh god, you guys play the Mission Impossible theme for 2-for-1s too???? I wonder if there's a strip club manual that tells people that that song makes strippers super attractive to customers...

    When we do 2-for-1s, we don't have to do anything special (other than at least pretend we're trying to sell it). They just announce, "Hey, buy a dance sometime during the next song and it's 2-for-1!" Really sucks when you're already headed upstairs anyway...

    there would be no way i could deal with this. i would like to ask the custy if he would be willing to work 4 shifts for 1, or maybe ask the mnmt. if they would accept 1/4 of my house feels, b/c it's the same rationelle they seem to think is fair.
    I'd grab my trumpet and I'd do a stripper sound, like the old Louis Armstrong, real raspy. And the people would go nuts! Then I knew that the sexual, sensual, guttural sound, that throbbing sound, is where it's at.

    YES!! I used to hate this so much. "Aww...lookit 'er, she's all alone up there, fellas." Yup. That's me. C'mon, guys, I'll make change for a dollar.

    Happily, I've gotten better at stage dancing, so this doesn't happen to often anymore. If it does, I play along with the DJ, make sad faces and bite my finger, like I'm sooooo sad and lonely up there. It's better than trying to look ridiculously fake-happy while somebody goes off on the mic about what a loser I am. Sometimes the puppydog face gets a dollar from somebody, and if not at least I'm still clowning around and having fun up there.

    If I were the OP, maybe don't ask the guys if they want the dance, so much as pick a guy who looks like he's on the fence and say "OK, you!" Like it's the awesomest thing in the world and the two of you are about to have soooo much fun. If he starts to say no I'd maybe tell him that if he doesn't like the dance it's free or something. I've done this occasionally, and it's a rare guy who's such an asshole he won't tip you for the "free" dance. If he reeeally doesn't want to keep going after one, say OK and sneak back to the dressing room. Everyone else will be doing their 4-4-1 and the place will be in chaos and no one will even notice.

    I think I can help. I think I have mastered the 2-4-1 promos.
    At my club they work like this: All the dancers come out on stage with a souvenir (t-shirt, shot glass, etc). Then they have an 'intro song' for you to walk around and sell it, followed by two 'dancing' songs. We are responsible to pay $10 on each of these we sell (yes, insult to injury). If we don't sell it we have to sit in 'time out' in the dressing room until the whole deal is over.

    Here's what I do: When the dj announces that it's two/one song away, I verbally sell it before we have to do our 'walk'. "hey customer guy, I'm so excited! In about two minutes we're doing a buy one get one. You've got to come dance with me!" Then I leave, be first in line to get souvenir, be first off stage to snatch up customer guy I already closed sale with, dance the intro song, the first song, sell him the second song as our third. He now owes me for two ($60) and I politely ask him to tip me the $10 they charge me for the souvenir.

    If I can't sell the second song I'm back out on the floor before everyone else to get back to work.

    As far as standing there if you can't sell it, I'd act like I could care less, like I've got better things to do if I were you.
    Maybe even fake the 'pee pee' dance. ahaha

    One of my old clubs was notorious for round-ups and specials and calender sales. It's VERY HUMILIATING and I refuse to work in a club that does that shit again. Fuck you, Spearmint Rhino! *shakes fist*
    It blew big time, because I'm not a high pressure salesperson. I am better at talking for a few songs and then closing, not banking on my looks or one-liners. I would always talk to a few prospects, then if no one bought, I'd sit down and start playing with my cell phone or something like I was texting. If guys wanted to come and get a dance last minute, I was available, but I didn't look too desperate. After the first song I might approach a new guy who just walked in or head to the DR for a minute. I always keep an air of "I'm too good to run around doing specials", and would make a point of telling customers how much I hated not being able to take my time getting to know them and that seemed to help me sell more VIPs in the long run.
