    Default First 2 Nights (Melbourne)

    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!

    It is good to hear about your experiences as I have yet to go pro and hearing your words are a help. Are things getting better as the week goes on? How are things going with your clothes and dancing?

    I think all of us are nervous at first. Just keep doing your thing and be open to ways to improve.

    Hey Kyaa! I actually work at the same club as you and Paris, but I kinda need to keep my identity private atm...hope you guys understand.

    In regards to talking with patrons too long:

    just remember that on a weekend you can usually spend as long with a customer as you want to...because there are plenty of them to go round!

    However on the quieter nights, I've personally found it's generally better to make initial contact, have a little chat and then move on. This is just coz there are less customers, and sitting with one of 6 guys on a quiet night for too long can be interpreted by the other girls as 'hogging' the customer. Besides, usually if you make a good impression in that 5 minute convo, after a couple drinks he'll come and ask you for a dance anyway!


    I'm glad you're having such a great experience! We pretty much scored the best club ever

    You should totally enroll in strip and grow rich and say goreantx sent you. $120 a night is like... a very very verrry small amount of money.
    Yes, I'm real.

    Things will improve Kyaa with time, experience and practice. I haven't worked at Centrefold but have worked in Melbourne clubs and the style is very fast-paced and not really necessary to do a hard sell. In my experience the dumb, horny stripper works really well in Melbourne. I actually talk in a baby voice and pretend to be drunk. But I also be cheeky and witty if I can, try to make them laugh a little. A lot of girls take stripping way to seriously. You don't need to spend too much time talking but don't just say "you wanna dance" like most of the girls do. LOL. Guys in melbourne seem to get why you are talking to them for the most part so just get the question out there as soon as possible after building a little rapport. Remember these two things:

    1) The worst that will happen is he will say no (ok maybe say something rude, but who gives a crap you don't wanna date him)
    2) You don't ask, you don't get - selling dances is like selling anything else...it's all about numbers. The more people you ask the higher your chances of getting more $$$.

    Don't worry about your dance not being perfect. In my experience the guys prefer someone who is genuine anyways (sounds like you are). So many strippers just rip them off and treat them like dirt. If you can treat them like you would a boyfriend then they will love you. The hottest girl with a crap personally becomes ugly really fast.

    Whatever you do don't treat them like a "mate". You want to remain sexual. Flirt, flirt, flirt and keep on flirting. As soon as you talk to them like a normal person you will decrease your chances of a yes. Every other girl is pretending to be in love with them.

    Hope you make some big $$$ this weekend!
