    Default This Tip Worked!!!

    Just wanted to report back.

    I used a tip I saw here in HH (I scribbled it in my stripper-notebook that I carry to work everyday - yup, I'm a nerd).

    When a guy asks how much he owes you for the dances you say, "$40.00 minimum" (or however much it is).

    I did this TWICE yesterday. The first time, the guy owed me $60.00 for 3 dances. I said, "It's $60.00 minimum". He handed me a $100 bill and told me to keep it. The second time, the guy owed me $80 - I used the same tip, and scored another $100.

    This has never happened before - so using that tip made me an extra $60.00 yesterday! Wooo! I love HH!

    That's awesome! For some reason guys never ask me that. Never. Isn't that weird? They ask, "so that was 3 dances right?" or "How many dances?" they all seem to assume they are $20, sometimes they'll ask, "so dances are $20 each?"

    I guess I could still find a way to word a response.

    But they don't even ask in a real questioning way. Just kind of a statement.

    ^^^ Same at my club. If I'm feeling bold, when the dances are done and they are going through their wallet, I'll say "That was 3 dances and so it's $60 minimum please *smile*"

    ^Only time I dont is when/if I had a shady feeling about the guy. And if I get that feeling, I usually refuse to dance for him anyway.

    OP, that's great that tip worked for you. I've never done used that line myself..can't imagine using that line..at least not in my current club. But, keep up the good work!

    I don't think getting the money first is the norm at most clubs (in the US). Although I could be wrong.

    At my club, we COULD ask for it - I don't believe there is a rule aganist it.

    If I ever come across someone shady or someone who gives me a bad vibe, I'll ask up front. I just haven't yet.

    the first club i worked at asked for money first, but we had to pay the bouncer first before we went back into the rooms...i dont ask first now, but i wont keep a tab going over 100.00 without reminding them that they owe me that much

    Great tip! And how awesome that it worked so well for you!

    Yah, we don't get the money up front either here, and so far so good!

    I am going to try this when I go back next.

    Seriously! I know I'm not qualified to give out ANY advice on stripping because I'm SO new - but I read my Stripper Notebook full of HH tips every day, right before I leave the dressing room. I swear it helps to have all those tips FRESH in my mind. I bet some of the girls I work with think I'm nuts, reading a notebook everyday on the benches...hahaha!

    ^^^I do the notebook thing too. It works wonders. Everytime I learn something on the job or make up a great new closing line, I write it in my notebook. I reread my notebook before working.

    I had one, and I lost it. Had my regular's phone numbers in it, ack!

    Anyway, good idea! In the past I've said something like "$60 and tips are appreciated" but I think this may actually work better.

    I dont think its the norm in UK clubs, it does sound a lot more polite not to ask first though.

    Iv come across a few idiots who change thier minds and/or admit to having no cash when Iv asked for the money AFTER we have already gone to the back to have the dance. If Id have just carried on and danced for them Id have been pretty pissed off.

    I think we might have very busy bouncers in the UK if we asked after

    I got stiffed Friday night for my first time ever.... and now I am not sure how to go from here, to be honest.

    Asking a guy to go back into his wallet for a tip may backfire. It seems easier for them to give a tip while they are paying for the AWESOME dance(s) they just enjoyed.

    Asking for the money up front itself isn't difficult for me... it's the tipping that I am worried about.

    Hells yes, this tip is awsome. I think I give it the thumbs up whenever possible. I don't use it with every single guy, but I use it every time he's fumbling with a wallet, or asks me the amount.

    FWIW, I find it works better with Americans and 'big city' guys. These men come from places with more of a tipping culture. The farmer dudes I dance for from local areas, not so much (and there's nothing wrong with that- they still spend good cash).

    i only ask for money up front if the guy seems really suspicious/handsy. i'll also ask if i don't know him and it's been a few dances.

    it's not the norm here to get money up front (like most girls said) and in my experience it offends a lot of customers. not to mention, guys like to get a "trial dance" a lot of the times. so, they don't feel comfortable saying they want (or paying for) "x amount" of dances right up front.

    It's not the norm in European countries, just America.

    Minimum works nicely in the PP industry as well. "Well you were quoted $75 an hour for topless waitressing so it's $150 minimum."

    I usually get $160-180.

    This is a great tip! I've found that the word "minimum" doesn't seem to work as well for me, though. I usually say something like, "It's 25 plus a big juicy tip!" or "It's 25 and tips are always appreciated!" It always guarantees a few more dollars.

    I dont think I could use this tip coz we get our money up front and Australians dont really believe in tipping.

    But I was wondering lately how I could charge more for dances. Like if I said the dances are $50 but the more u spend the better u get or something. But I think that might sound dodgy.
