    I think she means to lie and say "well if we do this it's better anyways because I won't have to leave you for stage in a few songs" even though your not going up on stage. It just makes them feel more special or like they're getting more out of it.

    I tried this for the first time today with a guy I thought was appropriate. He was the talky/cuddly type and I smelled money. I asked the following:

    "The dances are $20 per song and they are about 3 minutes. If you would like to stay awhile, we can do $140 for 1/2 hour or $240 for an hour. Which best suits you?"

    He replied: "Per song is good"........

    .......and then proceeded to get 12 songs which came to $240 (Not that I'm complaining but it's weird).

    I guess it's because the guys are not used to it?

    I think this would work well on guys who are regulars or repeats but I don't know yet if it would work on first-time guys. It could be akward to commit to a block of time without having had a dance yet from the girl.

    Girls who work in clubs with CR rooms: [b]How often does a guy go straight to VIP/Champagne room and how often does he have a lapdance (or previous experience with you) before commiting?

    ^^^Have you tried it with guys who see you again at the club? Like they got 7+ songs last time and they see you again and you end up in the dance room?

Guys are constantly asking me, "So what is upstairs all about?" The next time a guy asks me this, I'm going to tell him if he wants to spend an hour in private with me up there it will be $300 an hour... especially if it's an out-of-towner (most of the locals here are pretty cheap and wouldn't go for it). The thing is, to get up there, they have to buy a bottle of (at least) $75 champagne. I'm wondering how I'm gonna set that up, or if I should include that with the $300? GGGrrrrrr... I wish we had a standard VIP hustle at my club, too!
    That is the exact same deal at my club. It's hard to "upsell" and get someone into our VIP area, because unless they purchase a $150-200 bottle, or have a yearly club membership, they can't go up there.

    In order for a non-member to get into VIP, they have to buy that $150-200 bottle. So, they are already dropping money on THAT. Then, it would be hard to tag on ANOTHER $150-300 for 30-60 minutes with me. That would be over $500 in most cases. Yikes! I need more ideas on working around that....I really want to get them buying a bottle (that also keeps me off stage rotation). Maybe I would just need to charge less per 1/2 hour?

    Txchick, you shouldn't think that way about the money!!! $500 for an hour is not outrageous for an hour VIP. It sucks that you'd only get $300 of it, but still, if you get the right guy, they shouldn't balk at it. I really believe you could sell that VIP section. You are smart, and I saw your pics in the with/without makeup thread - you're adorable. I think you should start pushing it and I bet you'll sell one in the coming month.
    I'm confused, but the Chewbacca Truffle Shuffle cleared it up. - Emily

    Holiday is right on the money. The hour VIP's at my club are $400/bottle and $400 for the dancer. That's a MINIMUM of $800/hour and they sell out a lot so there's a wait to even get in the room.

    You have to stop thinking that it's a lot of money for customers to drop. Start projecting that you're worth it and worth more
