... does anyone else find it challenging to get the 1st LD?
Being in Vegas w/ soooooo many dancers makes it a challenging industry ... let alone w/ the recession. I'm sure other cities/clubs have more dancers to customers ratio too.
I also have tats and add to that my nationality I know I don't appeal to the vast majority of custys. I know my clientele base (early 40's white businessmen), but some nights they're not in the club. In this case I will periodically go outside of my clientele base ... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Lately I've been FORCING myself to go outside of my clientele base ... but I hate wasting my energy on custys that have NO interest in me but won't tell me ... oh, but they're more than happy to have me sit on their lap and talk for free ... ugh!
Some nights I'm on it ... ya know the nights where it's YOUR night ... those are nice!And of course other nights I feel jinxed.
I know it's kinda silly to ask ... is it just me? ... because I know it's a tuff time for a lot of us. I'm just in a weird mood and feeling out of sorts. I don't think it's Vegas because I love this city ... or maybe it IS Vegas and it's not me. When I was here in summer 2005 it was raining $$. I moved here 5 months ago and OMG how it's changed.
----- Came back to edit and add the following below -----
I didn't state myself clearly ... sorry ... what I meant is getting the 1st LD from each custy I approach.
My challenge is getting each custy I approach to say YES ... or maybe I'm just not being realistic. I am selective who I approach ... target my clientele base. I can't do what some other dancers do ... hit every available lap. I tried it and I got totally drained w/in a few hours.
If I can't immediately get the custy to the 3/$100 section, I go for the $20. If I get the custy to say yes to a $20, I'll give him a hell of a LD and then hit em' for the upsell ... of course sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't ... sometimes he wants 2-4 $20 dances ... and sometimes the custy only wants one dance.
I just get frustrated w/ custys that are more than happy to talk to me for free but will NOT get a freakin' $20 dance! I don't say this out of arrogance. The custy SEEMS to be into me ... talking away about what the fuck ever ... but when it comes time to buy a dance it's NO. WTF?!



And of course other nights I feel jinxed.
