    Default Talking with no hustle?

    I've found luck with this so far in the 4 days I've been dancing.

    I'll just plop down and sit with a customer and start talking. I'll introduce myself with a handshake and a smile "Hi, my name's Shiloh! Nice to meetcha!" and just start talking.

    The waitresses in my club are really good and will often sell drinks without me even asking - I tip them extra for this. But if they don't, I'll usually stick around for a few more minutes talking. When it gets quiet in the conversation, I'll look around and go "Wow, how long have we been talking?" then, depending on when I danced last versus how long I have before I dance, I'll say "I just got off stage and I'm kinda thirsty, would you mind buying me a drink?" or "Mind buying me a little liquid courage before my next set? I'm on after this girl?"

    Regardless of this, no hustle during the initial conversation often results in them following me to watch me dance and tossing $1s at me like they're pennies in a fountain.

    ^^ That IS a hustle, girl. Very similar to what mine was, quite honestly.

    are you in the kind of club that you get paid to drink? or do you have lapdances too. cause if its drinks only - thats a perfectly acceptable hustle, but if there's potential for dances rooms - you're selling yourself short
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    We do have lapdances, but it's a blue collar club - the lapdance area pretty much gathers dust until the weekends when the big business hits. I've sold a couple lapdances, but the majority of my money comes from drinks and tip-walks, really.

    That's a great hustle for drink commission clubs. I've worked in one of those before. Ya gotta be clever, and it sounds like you are. Just keep them engaged. Also, might want to forge an alliance with a good waitress, she can direct you in the right direction of guys who buy ladies drinks and tip well.

    If the lapdance area is available to you, and pays more than drinks, then you need to change your hustle. Unless there's a drink requirement I wouldn't even mention the drinks... aim for more money through the lap dances.

    Your approach is great, you introduce yourself, shake their hands and DON'T ask if you can join them - just sit down and start talking. However, you need to keep their mind focused on being into you and figure out what type of customer they are in order to sell them dances.

    I would definitely look into hustling dances... I've worked at a drink commission club and even my club now has drink commission, but you have to look at it this way:

    Guy buys you 20$ drink... you get 10$
    Guy buys 25$ VIP dance... You get 20$!

    So less % of money goes to the bar if you sell table/VIP dances and rooms. OR try a combination of the two tactics... hustle drinks AND dances, because those drinks can add up to help cover your house fees, tip out etc, for a minimal amount of work. Now if you get a percentage of champagne... I'd definitely try that out.

    You can always drink with the guy and use that time to get to know him, then find some way to lure him back to the VIP. (Truth or Dare? Dare? I dare you to get a sexy dance from me!)

    Maximise that earning potential!

    This works for dances too.

    Only if I'm in a good conversation do I sit there then start to excuse myself.

    "I'm having a great time talking to you but I have to GO (get up and leave you) and get some dances."

    They usually say lets go to the VIP.

    Rarely does it get to that point they'll ask way before that. This is not a normal thing I do but to save face and partly what Autum Lily said "How long have we been talking?" and not forgetting to ask for the sale.

    Some even say come back later. I'll hit them up during a lull but I'm not going to claw my way back to them.

    Of course everyone's favorite "I'm just here to watch, and not interested in a dance."

    Oh well.

    Here is a thread I commented on yesterday. Transition from "Wanna dance?" to sitting with a custy over a period of time.

    Always ask before sitting down to join them!!!! This is one of the customer's biggest pet peeves! Sometimes they don't want company, they just want to enjoy everyone, and if you sit with them they might think you are "claiming" them. If they say sure no problem, then go for it and make as much off of them as you can. But some customers just get more pissed off because they don't want to be owned, and they won't end up spending any $ on you.

    ^^^ Just because you sit with them doesn't mean you are claiming them. As long as another entertainer isn't/wasn't just sitting with them you should be fine.

    The minute they walk in the door they are sending out the signal to us that they are there to be entertained.

    Plus, if you say "would you like some company?" or "may I join you" that gives them their first chance to tell you "no" and once they say that it's almost already set in their mind. The whole idea is to skip past that and get them interested in you. No entertainer should sit with a customer for very long anyhow. If after a few minutes he's distant that's your clue to excuse yourself for a bit so he can see the competition, after which he may change his mind. If he remains attentive of the conversation there's a good chance you are already on your way to making a sale.

    Yeah, I remember the utter shock and horror the first time I ever asked to sit and was turned down. It's better to sit (or stand/lean in front of them, PREPARING to sit) while asking, " Are you waiting on anyone?" If they say yes, you can then smile, be sweet, something like, "Oooh, lucky girl" (only if you mean it!) and then add something like, "Maybe I can check in later? I'm _____." and move on.

    I've had much more success coming back later than asking for company instead of assuming with the polite pre-qualification to see if he's someone's regular.

    ive always asked "mind if i join you" or "is this seat taken" or something to that effect. usually i introduce myself, maybe start a bit of small talk depending on how the customer introduces himself and how busy it is, then ask to join. for me it has always worked better... i have found some customers dont like it when you plop down next to them and those who really are not ready or are looking for a different type can be left alone and not waste my time. plus i feel like if a customer acquiesces to letting me join him, then he feels more obligated to buy a dance later.
    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.
