    Default What are the characteristics of a great hustler?

    My earnings have been shit recently. It's the slow season and we have been flooded with girls so I'm probably not the only one at my club who is having this problem, but I know I can do better than what I have been. I think I've been in kind of a rut after working so many bad shifts, plus I've had really low energy due to some minor health issues.

    I want to re-energize and re-motivate myself.
    I've gone through hustle hut and compiled lists of lines and helpful tips, but I really want to internalize it and become a sexy money making machine.

    So, in your mind, what are the characteristics, attitudes, or behaviors of a great hustler?

    It works. Guys notice when strippers are prowling around them like hungry alley cats. When they smell desperation, that gives THEM control. The other day I was playing my dsi and customer comes over to try and chat me up. I told him "either give me money or fuck off so I can play my game" I expected him to walk off. Instead he bought an hr CR and insisted I show him all my games.

    All the top earners I know have good fuckin' attitudes and are NICE to people.
    Being pleasant to be around helps put customers at ease and makes it easier for them to relax and open their wallets.
    It's a lot easier to find repeat customers when your customers like you and feel GOOD about giving you money.

    Like Tempest said... don't be desperate.

    Being friendly to EVERYONE-I can't emphasize this enough. People help people they like, and the more people helping you out, the more money you will make.

    Don't act desperate for money. Be kinda chill with your hustle. Most (not all, but most) guys want to hang out a bit before they start buying dances. If you pop the question too soon, you'll probably turn the guy off.

    You also need to gauge the guy and know WHEN he is ready for a dance. This skill comes with time and experience, and all top earners have this skill.

    Always be selling. With your actions, your words, your looks, your stage shows, you conversation. This does not mean always asking for a dance, but always selling. You should be selling as soon as you get into the parking lot, even if this means just smiling at customers waiting to get into the club, are outside smoking, etc.

    Not all top earners are gorgeous or smart, but they know how to sell. Whether it's like Tempest with her "anit-hustle" or like me who plays off fun and flirty, a top earner can sell and is always selling.

    Good luck!

    Omg! I can't believe I forgot this!
    Seriously... BE NICE TO STAFF. Waitresses, bouncers, djs, door guys and bar tenders can ALL help you get dances. DJs get asked ALL THE TIME who they should get a dance from... waitresses get asked to bring over someone 'hot'... ect
    Not to mention... most of these employees are the ones who know which customers have money and which don't.

    Knowing when to go in and when not to go in. Sometimes taking a few days off to spend time at the gym, read a good book in the sunshine, and be away from secondhand smoke is a very good investment, especially in summertime burnout season.

    Sometimes I have to remind myself that it's possible to make good money without selling champagne. It's easy to scan a crowd, not see anyone who looks like a potential CR target, and decide it's time to make sure my makeup is perfect. Lap dances do add up. Customers who will never buy champagne will buy a lap dance or two. I know this should be obvious, but it's one of my weak spots.

    and the ones who are mean have killer bodies, fake boobs, platinum blonde hair, fake nails, slutty outfits, and look like they just walked off the set of a porno flick minus the cum dripping down their chins and act like snot-nosed bitches to all the other dancers so that no one will talk to them and they can spend as much time with customers.

    never ever be satisfied with the amount of money that you make. Have a goal, reach it? Well now it's time to make your "extended goal". Reach that? Reach your "unrealistic goal". Reach that? Keep reaching.

    soooo true! I see all the top earners that have these ridiculously awesome lifestyles driving expensive cars, living in glamorous houses, and being able to easily afford whatever they want, and they STILL come to work 5 nights a week. I noticed that A LOT of the top earners work a TON like 4-6 nights a week! a couple girls that work EVERY DAY when the girls who make way less work like 2 or 3. I think it has to do with the fact they're making over $1000 a night and are addicted to that rush.

    Don't take shit from any one.

    Don't settle for less.

    Don't undercut and make deals with customers that aren't worthy.

    Be nice, assertive and don't get hustled by other dancers or customers.

    I can feel this but...... This mentality can also lead to burnout. A good hustler knows when to give it a rest. Otherwise it's like a hamster on the wheel....

    Confused

    Default Re: What are the characteristics of a great hustler?

    ^^I disagree.

    If you push yourself to make the maximum that you can (hence by setting goals, breaking them, and continuing) then you can afford to take time off down the line/cut down how many days weekly you work. That will prevent burnout. Also, I don't know many girls who have walked out with $700+ and still felt "burnout". Making a large amount of money in one night recharges you.

    My schedule is Friday and Saturday night. I know that I have 16 hours every week to make or break my monetary goals, so wasting time is ridiculous. I always set a goal for $500. Reasonably, I know I can make $650-$700 if I am seriously applying myself. Once I hit the $500 mark then I go for $550, then $600, then $650. etc. Once it hits 15 minutes to close I stop counting how much I've made and try to get 3 dances. If I make that goal then one more dance, then one more dance. etc.
    If you are willing to do for one year what other's won't, you can spend a lifetime doing what other's cant.

    I follow "The Gambler" approach (Kenny Rogers"
    You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
    Know when to walk away and know when to run

    You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
    There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done
