    I don't know what it is but nothing works for me. Last night, there were girls leaving with $600-1000. But what did I leave with? $83. I busted my ass all night. Those bastards wouldn't even let me dollar dance for them. Half of the people I approached looked up at me before I even said a word and said "No." WTF? Two of the nicer custies told me that because it's a race weekend, there are a bunch of rednecks in the club, so being black, I probably won't do well....but I disagree...there is another black girl that works at my club and she left with upward of $300. It's got to be me. I fucking suck at being a stripper. I've tried the nice approach, the sex kitten approach, the bossy approach and the ditzy approach, nothing works for me. And it's not my confidence at this point, I'm very confident in my body and my appearance. I'm always freshly showered and always have a fresh spritzing of body spray and I've always got a fresh stick of gum in my mouth and my dance clothes are always freshly washed. So I know it's not a hygiene thing. As far as stage goes, I do the same things all the other girls do with plenty of smiling and eye contact. And I desperately need to make at least $600 tonight, then another $600 next week. After next week, I need to make like $2k so that I can move. My life sucks. *cry*

    Sorry to hear that. I know exactly how you feel. I can only work another 2 months before taking time off for a year if not forever, so all my energy has been going into hustling, and I'm making less and less each week. I started working the best day and night shifts, read up on psychology of persuasion, read superflirt, memorized a ton from hustle hut...and I'm coming home with $100 on semi busy nights?

    It's like there's a brick wall between me and the customers. No one wants me to sit down with them. I don't get much of a chance to hustle. I'm afraid I'm going to have to turn super bitch or something!

    I hope it picks up for us. Don't give up.

    But last Saturday you made around $300, right? You took the tips from SW, and you did better than ever before? That's fantastic money to me, although of course I wish I were one of the dancers leaving with $600-900.

    Still, I think that's pretty good, so obviously your change in hustle worked for you that night, as did luck to some degree. Did you notice that a certain kind of customer clicked with you on that night?

    Maybe your bad night just happened with no part of you to blame. Sometimes the crowd won't be yours no matter how hard you work it.

    Maybe try to replicate your good night and see what happens? It really helped me in the beginning when dancers pulled me in on their hustle so I could get a feel of the exchange and then put my own imprint on it. Maybe that could give you a jump start?

    Where are you from?
    “ Really? I’ve always wanted to visit it there, it’s a beautiful city, isn’t it? (make a connection. Build rapport.)
    (the following are questions to get him into a "yes" pattern)
    Have you been to this club before?
    It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
    Your having fun tonight, aren’t you?
    So tell me, what brings you in here tonight? ( This question is feeling out his potential.)
    Have you had any dances so far tonight?
    You have?
    Awesome! You all warmed up for me then!
    Since you’ve already had some dances, you know how things work, don’t you?
    Would you like your dance here, or in VIP? (assuming the sale. Not asking yes or no question, ratherm giving him an option of 2 desirable outcomes)

    Or--
    You haven’t? That’s great! I can break you in the right way then!
    Since you haven’t had any dances yet, let me explain how things work. You can get a $20 dance out on the main floor, or we can go into the private room for a more intimate dance, which would you prefer?



    This hustle takes 1 song. I spend the second song handling objections if there are any. I am dancing by the third song, or I'm out.
    great post!!

    aww..sorry, don't cry, sometimes I leave the club negative so at least you made some money and you should give yourself credit for going to work in the first place. I hate it when they say no, even before i said anything to them too! Stay positive, it's takes awhile to develop your own style. When I first started dancing I tried the sex kitten, ditzy girl, and whatever else you name it, but it didn't work for me. It seems that the customer could tell I was acting, so they don't respond to it. Find a style that you can be natural at and add a lot of smiles and be flirty--think about how you are when you are trying to flirt with a boy you like. don't overdo it, just try to be natural. and of course don't be afraid to ask for a dance... but try wording it differently, like... "can I take off my dress for you the next song" , "want to see me naked" of course you'll still have your bottoms on, but i get a lot of yes wording it like this. If I feel safe with a guy I would continue dancing the next song without asking him, but just to be safe say something like " can i continue" , "you don't want me to stop now, do you?" and be extremely sexy towards the end of the song, it helps in getting another dance.

    You're doing your homework by being on this site and posting here so I know you will do really well eventually. it takes some time to incorporate what you learn on here into your hustle and be natural at it, I find it helpful to keep reading the hustle threads before work... i motivates me, maybe you can try doing the same to see if it helps.

The momentum will make you money!!
    great advice! exactly like that :dance, move, dance, move. getting rejected earlier saves you time, those same people most likely won't say yes even if you ask them for a dance after being there for awhile anyways.

    Just keep practising your hustle. You used some of the tips from here and went from not being able to break $100 to making $300. So just keep at it. Maybe it was just a shit night. Every stripper has a shit night once in a while.

    You may think you are confident but u may be portraying a lack of confidence. Being confident in knowing you are good looking and hot isn't the same as being confident in your ability to sell dances - that's why it's not always the best looking dancers making the most money but rather the ones who know how to sell.

    Exactly...during the weeknights it's usually a slower kinda crowd. I take my time, sit for a couple songs, and make my sell. If they aren't ready, I tell them I'll be back during the special (every 30-45min), and I move on to the next person.

    Guys will definately try to soak up as much time as they can w/o paying for it. Think about it..They are lonely. They have no one at home they can or want to talk to...so they come to us. Don't give them the satisfaction of taking up your valuable time for free.

    Don't be sad. We've all had nights when we've barely made the house fee and it seems like the other girls are banking. Sometimes, a custie can sense the frustration and be turned off. On these nights, it's best to relax and have a drink. Tomorrow is a brand new night with new possibilities.

    The girls here give great advice. Never spend too much time with a custie especially on busy weekends.

    I'm gonna ask you flat out, describe what this other black girl looks like. What is it about her that makes the guys (the small amout who r into black girls) spend on her and not you. I have my suspicions, but I'll wait.
