    Default Burnt Out Agent

    I have just about reached the limit of my endurance. I never wanted to own or manage a strip agency. The only reason I started the business was because many of my stripper friends were sick to death of being paid crap and treated like shit. So at their insistence I started XXXTC.

    I have the best pay rates and conditions in Melbourne, and yet the overwhelming number of unreliable and unprofessional girls out there leaves me feeling as if there is no point in even trying to do the right thing.

    I am fed up with girls (showgirls & waitresses) approaching me for work, then never returning calls when I have work to offer. And even better is when you can't be bothered letting me know if you're even available any particular weekend. How am I supposed to respond to request bookings?

    It is standard industry practice to confirm your work on the day of booking. How hard is it to send a txt to the agent and do this? OK so you can't be bothered, that's ok I'll txt you... Could you at least respond? Why should I have to take all the crap from clients over making last minute replacements to a request booking cos you're too busy to even let me know if you are still able to work or not?!

    So you won't start a show without having the money in your hand. No prob, I can understand that. But do you think its unreasonable for me to expect my commission to be paid ASAP? Afterall, you've been paid for your work, should I really have to wait more than a week to be paid for something you got paid for up front?! Maybe next time a job is prepaid I'll just hold off a week or so on the doing the bank transfer for your payment. See how you like not being able to pay your rent.

    Good pay, good conditions, working with an agent who gives a shit and makes an effort to look after you, treat you with respect and professionalism. Obviously you don't really want to work, or be treated with respect, because if you did you wouldn't jerk me around and cause so much unnecessary hassle and stress.

    FFS its supposed to be the ADULT industry, I think working with pre-schoolers would be less stress.

    I can completely relate. This is part of the reason I closed my agency (my competition was the other). Way too many unreliable dancers (strangely I never had problems with my male dancers), dancers showing up drunk or stoned, etc. I started my agency because I hate how others were run and so were other dancers.

    @ Kellydancer - I think it comes down to the fact people don't know a good thing when they see it.

    I only got into this because I was asked to, and to make a difference. Well I'm told by my best girls, I am making a difference. Majority of Melbourne agencies have increased their show fees and are even starting to pay better for travel on out of town jobs.

    Maybe I just have to suck it up. Anything worth achieving is going to take hard work and sacrifice.

    I know establishing and running a business isn't easy, but if the girls would be just a little more professional, it wouldn't have to be so damn hard.

    ha. strippers. either they bitch about being taken advantage of, of ripping of those who support them. i dont know, i havent worked with an agency before but i saw this dynamic at clubs i worked at. management solved this by banning unreliable girls, or charging them a fee/witholding money until they show improvement. and they did. after that no one bit the hand that feeds

    When anyone new starts with XXXTC they are given a complete info pack outlining the standards and expectations they need to meet. No one ever reads it But there is no excuse, I make it very clear I have zero tolerance for unprofessionalism.

    This is why I have one the smallest performer lists in Melbourne. If someone messes up, then its onto my blacklist. Unfortunately this is something you have to go through on a regular basis as new girls approach you.

    Vicious cycle if you ask me. Bashing my head against a brick wall would probably be more productive.
