    Default I really suck at selling :(

    So after 6 yrs of stripping on and off, you'd think I'd get the hang of this job. Sometimes I feel like I'm an awesome seller, as I've sold things to people who I really don't think liked me at first. Other times, such as tonight, I wonder what the hell's wrong with me.

    I was sitting w/this guy and we striked up a good convo and found out we had a lot in common. He got money from the ATM and got 3 lapdances from me and gave me $100. This was after I told him about the rooms and he said he couldn't afford them at the time. I had to go on stage soon, so I told him that I'd see him when I was on stage and to let me know if he needed any company later.

    I then see him sitting with someone else for what appeared to be a very long time. Before I left tonight, I saw him and the same girl come out of the CR, and I realized that she hadn't gone up on stage in awhile, which makes me think he at least got 2 CRs.

    Don't get me wrong. I'm happy for the girl. I've known her for years and she's good at what she does, and she's very sweet. I'm just pissed at myself for not upselling "correctly." I know he was into me and I'm almost positive that, if I tried harder, I could've been the ones getting those CRs. Ugh. I guess that's partially what I get for not sitting with people for as long :-/

    Why don't you ask her how she did it? She's been your friend for years. She probably won't mind.

    imo..
    maybe you got along really well but possibly you weren't his 'type' or he started to see you as a 'gal pal'.
    maybe she offered more or the same for less.
    maybe he got liquid courage.

    You had no reason to put more effort into it. You got a few dances. He said that he could not afford a CR. He lied, but you couldn't sit there and waste you night with him.

    Alot of my friends sit on a guy FOREVER. Sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't. I find that they have good nights and then they have horrible horrible owe the house nights. there's no inbetween for them. I find that my minimal chit chat for a sale and more if thier spending works for me. I make consistant money. I rather pull $300 to $500 average than $0 or $700- $1000. Different hustle styles.

    If youv'e been dancing six years, it's got to be working for you. I wouldn't change anything youre doing. I don't think you could have done anything different in that situation. I wouldnt sweat it if i were you. Good luck, babe!

    (im curious to see what others say)

    I feel your pain... I read through hustle hut and really try to get tips to step up my game but lately I've been feeling like I just rely on my looks to get dances... and looks are only half the battle. I feel like if I was better at sales I could be making twice as much money. but im pretty much at a loss... I dunno what I should be doing either.

    Honey, its different stokes for different folks. I have been doing this for over 8 years. I feel like you sometimes. One day I'm on fire and the next, I only make back my house fee.

    One thing I have noticed is that the same hustle DOES NOT work on everyone. One guy might just like having his neck and head massaged, one might like your body, one might really like your personality etc. I don't really think there is only one way of selling everyone.

    I have used every hustle there is and I used it well, but it won't work for everyone. Some guys just know you are hustling them and see right through your fakeness. Some guys just really like girls who are themselves and are more comfortable with someone who doesn't have to pretend to make her money.

    This job is sooo much more than just a closing line. It's about the way you approach them, what you say, how you say it, eye contact during conversation, are you touching them enough or are you touching them too much. I could go on and on. There really is no one way to go about it. But obviously if you have been doing this for 6 years and you are still doing it and making a good living you are doing something right.

    If there ever was one good line, it is " I was in the right place at the right time." THis is very true. The time you spent warming that guy up, got him prepared for the next girl to come in and close in on him. I've had that same shit happen to me too when it came time to go on stage. They act like they really like you, tell you to come back and then there's another girl sitting there. So, now I just go right back over to him, even if there is another girl sitting there. I'm certain that chick saw you sitting with him and waited for you to go on stage to make her move. If they tell you to come back, go back, regardless of who is there. IF they have a problem you tell them, hey he told me to come back and I was sitting here before I went on stage. I don't care how they feel. Too many bitches sit and wait to move in, knowing that you might not come back if they are sitting there.
