    Default When a customer flags you down...

    Two part question:
    1.)I've had this happen a lot...I'm either doing my stage set, or on my way to a particular customer who has asked for a dance, and another customer will flag me down and ask me to come over when I am finished with either stage, or my other customer. So when I finish up, I look over and another girl is on his lap. I don't want to be bitchy or rude to her, so how do I tactfully go over and in essence ask him if he still wants dances from me, while she is on his lap, without stepping on her toes? Do I wait for her to leave, or just go up to him and ask? I'm missing out on a lot of opportunity this way.

    2.)Also, often I will have guys lined up at stage and they ask me to please come see them when I am done...then, by the time I finish with the whole stupid stage rotation, they have others on them, or I have FORGOTTEN their face, name and where they are sitting! How do you keep track of these customers to get to all of them and maximize your earnings?
    I have to get a system in place...I have lots of room for improvement. If I could figure these two things out, I think I'd make significantly more.

    1. Its ok to ask him if he still wants to get a dance, kind of depending on the club and the girl. "Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt. I just wanted to know if you were still interested in getting a dance." I would not do this in certain clubs or to certain girls. You kind of have to judge for yourself whether the other dancer will get upset.

    2. Make a note of the color of his shirt or a particular article of clothing the customer is wearing. (Like a hat.)

    I can't imagine a girl who wouldn't be slightly miffed...are there girls who wouldn't care??
    But damn, I surely don't want to miss a sale from someone who got up, went out of his way to grab me on the floor, for a girl who plopped on his lap two seconds before I made it over there!

    For me, I don't approach. If anything, I'll be around in the vicinity to let him see me. I smile, wave him over. If he drops her and approaches me we're all good. Usually he'll either A) give me a nod to let me know he sees me and he'll be right over or B) he doesn't see me..

    If it's the latter, I go seeking other prospects. I still keep my eye on original guy though.

    2.)Also, often I will have guys lined up at stage and they ask me to please come see them when I am done...then, by the time I finish with the whole stupid stage rotation, they have others on them, or I have FORGOTTEN their face, name and where they are sitting!

    For me, I always say, "now we're about are you sitting?" after they point I say, "no PLEASE dont' be mad at me but I am blind as a bat. If you see me coming PLEASE flag me down, cause most of the times I can't see!"

    That usually works in my favor. They sit there and keep an eye out for me.

    Heck no! That's asking to get in a fight/drama in majority clubs I've ever worked in. I avoid drama like the plague...

    I would just wait until he is available again, once the other girl has finished dancing for him or whatever, walk up and say "hi sweetheart, I wanted to come over sooner, but it looked like you were busy for a couple minutes, so I'm ready to dance for you now!" after all, even if he did decide to get some dances from other girls it doesn't mean he won't still get some from you!

    I would walk up to the guy and lean down and touch his shoulders and say,
    "want me to come back when you aren't busy?"
    making eye contact with him mostly but shooting one sincerely nice smile to the dancer as well,

    But, I have been at my bar for a long long time and no one is going to fuck with me.

    I don't think that's rude, I'm just making my presence know. They initiated interest, and I often have customers that want to get away from the girl that just sat in his lap but does not want to be impolite.

    1) I would just walk by the guy, smile, and mouth "i'll come back"... This almost always works for me.

    2) If I'm on stage and guys come up and ask me to come over when done, I'll ask for their name. Pay attention, then look at their shirt. Then I say it in my head a few times Danny/red collared, Ben/white tee, etc. And I try to keep guys in somewhat of an order. If a second guy comes up, I'll tell him "I have to give a few dances first, then I'll be over. Where are you sitting?" This way, the guy doesn't get annoyed when I walk away with the other dude- and they usually wait. Plus, now you know where to find him, and he will be looking for you when you come!

    1. I would never suggest interrupting a customer when another dancer is with him, regardless of the situation. That is just asking for trouble, ANY girl would be mad about that-it's just rude. Make eye contact and smile at him when as you walk past, that way he knows you're ready and available. If he's really interested, he'll politely excuse himself eventually and get a dance with you.

    2. I just tell them to stay right where they are and I'll be right back. I also try to remember what kind of shirt they're wearing, if they have a hat on, glasses, etc. I hate when a customer wants a dance and then I can't find them later on, I've done this a few times and it's soooo frustrating.

    I guess I am the only one who doesnt have an issue with approaching a customer who ASKED me to see them. I dont care if another plopped on his lap--I have a business to run, lol.
    I simply approach, ask him if he is ready to go. If the customer wants to go with me, he will excuse himself from the girl on his lap. In select situations, I may even invite the other girl to come along. As long as you are polite and tactful about it, the other dancer shouldnt have a problem.

    If I was the girl who did the "lap-plopping" and another gal approached saying they had an appointment, I might suggest a threesome dance. Once again, I have a business to run. Getting a dance out of the situation for the time already spent is worth it. If the custy and other gal want to be alone, I respectfully move on. Why? I respect the hustle.

    Customers can be too shy to tell another gal he is waiting for someone else, or they want to keep thier options open by hanging with different dancers. That doesnt mean you dont attempt to close the sale.

    As for finding the custy, CK had a really good idea.

    OR Maybe you could give them one of those glow in the dark bracelets, lol.

    Hey, thats not a bad idea, Im gonna start doing that...
    I'm getting my Dial-A-Stripper service up and running again. If you are in NYC or NJ and are interested in private party dancing, email [email protected] with your SW handle, contact info, photo (if you have one) & best time to call and I'll get back to you asap.

    If you're having a party and need strippers, email me with the details and any questions you have. Thanks!

    There are exceptions to the rule, for instance, when a guy gives you a $100 tip on stage. He was chatting casually to a girl at the bar when I approached and thanked him. Of course, he made his intentions known and he gave me an extra $700 and $800 the following night...

    Akasha's approach is very proactive. If I had any rapport with the dancer in his lap, I'd no doubt say something like "Looks like a party! Can you handle a double?" If she and I didn't have a rapport,I'd say to him "You look busy...would you prefer that dance now or later?" This gives him an out if he's not interested in the other woman.If he is interested in her,he can flag me down later or I can check on him after his dance. Cheers, Harlow

    I need to remind myself of this next time I work..I like that Kasha!

    I will say that I have girls who approach me when I'm sitting with a customer that they may have been earlier sitting with. Usually I don't get up. But, if I get a 'vibe' I will excuse myself. I have had men say, "oh no don't leave" lol with the girl sitting right there.

    A couple weeks ago, this guy was giving me the eye. I approachedhim and explained that I was with someone else, but that I'd be over asap. When I came back around, this girl was all over him. I was just like, "ohh hey you guys. I wanted to see if you were ready for some fun. Let's do a double" or something along those lines..he only took me. That's really rare of me to do. But, I did it...

    I would definitely come by and say "Hey.. I'm ready now, are you?" Smile at the dancer and grab the guy. But just like Cinderella, noone will really mess with me becasue I've been at the club forever. Not sure if I would vocalize my intentions if I was the new girl but would definitely walk by, wave and smile.

    1. If customer making eye contact with me while he is sitting with someone else, I will come by to see him when he is free. However, if he actually ASKED me to come and see him, I don't think it is rude to come by and politely ask if he is still interested. I never have second thoughts about it and never had problems with other girls. I myself don't mind when it happens to me because some guys, indeed, have hard time to say that they already decided to get dance from other girl and often it can just lead to waste of my time to stick with them.
    2. I just try to remember some article of this customer

    1 - I'm usually the new girl wherever I'm working, so I go with the "get where he can see me and smile suggestively" trick. It works pretty well. It also works when he's the only guy at the stage and the girl on stage doesn't want to move away from him because she knows the vultures are waiting to swoop in on him.

    I'm pretty nice, but I would have to know a girl pretty freakin' well to not be pissed if she approached a guy I was actively talking to for anything less than that he tipped her the $100 on stage before and I only got the $5.

    ^^ Just because someone else got $100 doesn't mean the custie willing to give the same amount to every other girl in the club. We all appeal to different tastes and obviously some will be favored to others and get more money.

    If they flag me down and I have somewhere else I have to go, I say something along the lines of "I promised I'd go dance for this guy, but I'll come right back for you!" or something along those lines. That way the custy is less likely to have another girl on his lap (if he really wants you).

    I would advice against approaching when another girl is on his lap. That's just really poor etiquette. You wouldn't want someone doing that to you, would you?

    If a guy is commited to another girl in his mind, yes I would want the girl to come up and grab him if he doesnt have the guts to tell me himself.

    Yeah... I know, that was my point. If she got $100 from him on stage and I didn't, and she mentioned that $100 when she walked in on my convo, I wouldn't be very pissed. Obviously, he's more interested in spending on her than on me.

    Well even if it's a $20 and not a $100 it's not gonna change the fact that he might not like me.. that's why he flagged the other girl down oh well, there are plenty more who do! =]

    See, I don't agree with this. You never know that the guy is committed to another girl unless he tells you, so how would you know whether or not a girl is just cock-blocking?

    Frankly, the 1-2 songs you may waste talking to someone who's already committed is worth avoiding constant cock-blocking.
