    Default Better way to phrase "bottle minimum "

    At my club there are drink/ bottle requirements for all of the VIP rooms. I usually tell customers the total price and say " and that includes 4 drinks" instead of saying 200 for me plus you have to buy 4 drinks. When it comes selling bottles though for hour rooms it harder for me to find the right wording to sell a 300$ bottle. For the guys that have the money it's no problem but selling a guy who doesn't really have it like that and is on the fence on paying more than half of what he's paying me for an hour on a bottle of champagne is a little tougher. Im just trying to find more creative ways to sell the bottle minimum aspect of the room to a customer for which it would be a stretch to do so. 9 out of 10 times this is where I run into resistance. They warm up to the 500$ for me but get tripped up on being required to purchase expensive alcohol.

    No one else works in a club with drink minimums for VIP?

    I don't but does it HAVE to be champange or can it be ANY bottle? Some guys don't like champagne and don't want to spend that much on it but would spent on a bottle of their favorite liquor.

    I have the same problem, I always tell them the bottles start at 250$ but it sounds so off-putting...

    Maybe try it with a line like "It's $800 for an hour with my and my favorite bottle of Champagne, god I get so horny after a few glasses of bubbley" is there a range of bottles they can buy? Maybe start off with saying it $1000 with a bottle of (insert name of $500 champagne) and if they knock it back say "well we could just get a (name of $300 bottle), it's not as good but it still gets me drunk and antsy ". Probably not best to tell them how much thy're paying for you and how much for the bottle.

    Also do you get commission from selling the bottles?

    I don't get comission so I'd definitely not recommend an expensive one... That's a good tip though, but I found that if they see that I don't actually get all the money they tend to take the room more cause they see I don't get that much?

    I've tried myself to come up with different ways to sell the drinks (there is a min. for every room your in). I've found whether I say something cute or keep it real, they hear the same thing... $500 for me, $300 min for the bottle. I would try to tell the prices while you are sitting on his lap, just acting like you can't wait to go to your favorite place in the club, the champagne room. I talk about the prices like it's any normal day conversation but with no hesitation in my words. Be sure of yourself and confident in saying the prices ... Since you are spending time at least a half an hour, you can sell him on the fact that you'll both want that whole bottle being that your in the champagne room and already "doing it big". And if he is like, "well I can't really drink that much", then you can say, " well I can, come on" and lead him to the room.

    I talk about this in an article in my newsletter.
    The sales strategy is called Perceived vs Actual value.

    Quote the guy the entire price of your time and his..."And for $x we get to enjoy a FREE bottle of champagne"

    It's a waste of time breaking down the price structure for Blue and Reds, they don't care. Only Greens need to know the details.

    Hmmm .... perhaps I should look into this color personality thing. My hustle is good but could always use new polish.

    If you don't get a commission why even bother selling a $300 bottle? If you can get a guy to spend $500, wouldn't you rather keep it all to yourself?
