So, after years of making excuses i finally applied to a club and started working on Saturday night. One of the first people i happened to meet was the lovely xParisx who put me at ease straight away. I must say, i wasnt really nervous about working but i WAS nervous about the other girls and what they would be like towards me. I feel so lucky to be at the club i'm at because the girls have been total ANGELS to me. They're so so so lovely!
My first shift started at around 12am straight after my training (which i did terrible at, btw) and went quite well. I did a bit better than expected and was able to 'loosen up' on the stage. I sold a personal dance almost straight away and then a private dance to the same people (a boy girl couple)
There were a few hiccups the first night. Mainly: being smacked on the bum by a patron (who i promptly got kicked out because whoa, skeevy! i couldnt bear to see his face again) and giving a few clunky private dances that resulted in losing my balance and nearly taking a poor guy's eye out (he was super lovely about it, lol, but didnt want another after that.)
I decided, since i was so new, i would work every day this week except one. Last night was a Monday and i wasnt entirely sure what to expect. I'm still getting used to the club which, to me is so big and maze-like - even when sections are closed off.
I was so incredibly tired last night as i'd had to get up at 6am and started work at 8pm. I was majorly off my game (not that i really have one yet, but i wasnt as savvy as i should have been.)
I'm making mistakes like talking to the customer for WAY too long. Out of sheer luck the guys i spent the most time with all tipped me and one from each 'group' bought a dance or two.
I could tell there was PLENTY of money to be made last night but i lacked the skills to be able to make it happen. For example, i wish i knew some of the girls better so i could have tried to organise for the two of us to go back somewhere and get paid for the hour. It was ridiculous not getting paid for all that talking (i think it equated to $20 an hour which possibly COULD have been $200 + an hour each)
Also, at times i felt like i was hogging the guys by chatting so much. I like to sit down and 'hang out' with them while i'm on my 'break' (before and after a table dance usually.) To try and combat this i snuck off to check my roster, go upstairs to apply lipgloss, go to the toilet, order another drink, etc.
I feel like i'm not confident or skilled enough to sell successive dances to guys based on 'the pitch' alone. And the guys who did buy dances off me CERTAINLY had the $$$ to buy loads more if i had've been more savvy/confident.
I think a major downfall for me right now is that i get VERY nervous and the way it manifests itself is by me becoming a total chatterbox. Being a chatterbox makes me appear like i'm confident and not shy BUT it wastes a LOT of time and thus, i lose out on money.
I'm having a day off tomorrow before resuming the next night and so hopefully i can apply what i've learnt and not make the same mistakes. I think once i hit the $120 mark for a week night i should start taking more risks and see what approaches work when.
So yeah, shout out to any current CL girls in Melbourne for being totally fab!
