    Default help! floor hosts hate me

    hi everyone! i'm 21 and working my first club. i started 3 months ago, and it's a pretty upscale place, a gntleman's club, where champagne room is where the money's made.

    however, the best way to get into CR is through floor hosts--- they will send you over to the most eligible guests and do alot of the hustling for you. it makes it look more legit to the guests, and makes guests feel like they are being handed a "star" dancer when a floor host will bring over a girl (vs a girl trying to hustle CR on her own).

    my problem is that i've been at this club for almost 3 months now, and i still don't get to CR very much. if i'm lucky, i go at least once every weekend (since i work weekends), but i'd like to be going once every shift.

    i think it might be partly because i didn't hit it off very well with alot of the floor hosts when i first started out. i didn't really understand how important they are to a dancer, esp. a new one. the head host really hates me because i forgot his name on my first night after ruining my chance at going to CR. ever since then, i've blown alot of CR opportunities and this seems to have really pissed some hosts off, and now i never get any help from any of them!

    any advice on making good vibes with floor hosts?!

    I think that this is more likely the problem... rather than them not personally liking you.

    If you're blowing a lot of opportunities and the floor hosts benefit from selling them (I assume they do or they wouldn't be helping girls sell them, right)... they're going to stick with girls who can actually close the deal.

    I'd recommend working on your hustle and learning to sell CR's better so that when the hosts try to sell you CR's you aren't screwing it up. Once they see you can close the deal... they're much more likely to want to help you in the future, since you won't be a waste of time.

    First off, apologize and let them know that you not understand how important they are. Then try tipping them especially well... money talks. Don't just do it one night though, keep doing it. They'll eventually see that you also are not cheap and that if they get into the champagne room their tip will go up too.
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    god i hate floor hosts. they have egos bigger than any customer. but if they're that important to your success at the club, you may have to turn on the charm with them, or befriend a dancer who is in with them.

    I agree with DesvusDeath. At my club we have a drink quota and when I started I was not very good at selling drinks. The waitresses rarely came to ask the customers I was sitting with, and one of them had a major attitude with me and so I figured they didn't like me and it was hopeless. But I started working really hard on my drink hustle and was able to sell drinks without them coming by... and all of a sudden they were on every customer I sat with. And the waitress
    that I thought had an attitude... was just being the way she is all the time. And we've actually become very good friends now.

    If the hosts are going to introduce you, they're to have to invest time that they could on another dancer. If you can work on your hustle and show them you can sell rooms without them, they'll be much more likely to choose you as the dancer to invest their time on. And I wouldn't take any of their attitudes personally or as a sign they don't like you as a
    person-- this is business.

    ^^^ same.
    I used to work at a club where we made money off of drinks we sold. I used to be really awkward selling drinks and fucked up a lot of sales.
    Once I learned to sell drinks on my own... the waitresses were RIGHT THERE when I was with a new customer... [One night I srsly sold $200 in drinks @ 5-10 a drink!]

    That's what makes me think that learning to sell CR's on your own will make the hosts more interested in helping you again.

    Next time you do a CR, tip the guy 20%. Money goes a long way Floor guys tend to help the girls who are reliable at selling VIP's. Just keep on getting VIP's and tipping them.

    how important are the floor guys in closing the deal? at my old club they used to try to sit girls with guys, but i found i had better luck when i approached them on my own. especially since they tended to know the customers who wanted extras. ick.

    tipping them will help, but be wary of this. there was a waitress at aforementioned club who probably should have been a dancer because she was very cutthroat... she would kind of make custmers her own then sit girls by them and expect ridiculous tips... so basically it got to the point where she was pimping out the girls. i never helped her and just did my own hustling. so if they help you that is awesome and tip, but dont let it get to any sort of point where you are giving them a lot of underserved money or where they expect too much.


    but yea, learn to close the sale. in either situation itll help. if htey are being disagreeable because you arent closing the sale, then it will help with that. and if you dont really need em and are depending on them to compensate for your lack of sales skills, then it will fix that problem too. its best to have enough of your own skills so you can get by without the others. i mean having social capital is good, but if htey dont like you because you havent kissed their ass enough or because you arent forking out ridiculous percentages of your earnings, then its not worth it IMO.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    ^^^Im so glad she post that bc I used to work at this same club where the floor hosts would hook girls up with customers who had $$ but just bc they seat u with someone, doesnt mean they will buy a dance from u. I fell into this trap and at the end of the night I was tipping out waaay too much to these losers bc i thought I needed them to make my $$ there.

    I cringe at how much i gave them, only to find out in the end i didnt need them at all and was capable of making my own $. Work on ur own hustle and u will be fine
