    Default Sales tips NOT for strippers

    I've been reading a lot of sales books lately and while 80% of it is applicable to our industry, the other 20% is funny. What tips have you come across in your reading that would NOT work in our industry? Here are a few of mine:

    -Letters of recommendation.

    Me: "Would you like a dance?"
    Dude: "Ummm.... I dunno."
    Me: *whips out letters of recommendation*

    -A book I just read said that people in sales are often most successful at 40-45+ and that when we sell we should try imagining selling to them again and again and 20 years down the road. I'm trying to imagine me lapdancing for this guy when I'm 43 and he's 80 but I just can't picture it LOL

    I'd buy a lap dance from a girl that had letters of recommendation.

    One big sales tactic is to mail b-day and Christmas cards to previous customers. I'm sure that wouldn't go over very well in our business.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    Hell yes. I'm going to email some customers right now and ask them to write me letters of recommendation. That's the funniest thing I've read all day. Thanks, NM!

    The slow sale, like in software or pharmaceutical sales, where you come back for weeks or months to convince the buyer.

    I was only driven by a little old lady back and forth to church!

    Act now! It's a limited time deal!

    I like you - so I'm going to give you a price that no one else is getting...

    If you buy in the next 10 minutes, I'll throw in the blender for free.

    *Point out every area on your body and narrate their greatness like the women on Home Shopping Network*

    We are running out of stock!

    ^ if you upgrade to champagne room now, this lapdance is free.

    letters of recommendation aren't for us, but check out all the girl reviews on scl and such...and you know they aren't really all from custies. but they can certainly do the trick.

    You can't send physical bday and Christmas cards. But I have a "stripper" MySpace that my custies are on, and I'll always remember to leave them a comment on their birthday with one of those corny flash graphics on it. It just shows that you care. And if you want, you can even add some text to it--something discreet--like, "In honor of your birthday, you get 10% off your next purchase anytime this month!"

    Kind of, if you can get away with it in your club. We set our own prices in my club, so I can knock off $5 from a dance without shooting myself in the foot.

    Actually, all of these could work.

    Making it seem like a limited time offer is a great one. I'm about to go on stage, I have a customer coming in soon, I have a million people waiting for me... all of these put the pressure on the dude to buy a dance RIGHT NOW.

    I like you... so I'm going to give you an EXTRA good dance. Or you could make up some deal like the next tip, upgrade to VIP and and this lapdance is free!
