    Default Risk vs Reward

    Over the years I've become a wanna-dance hustler and it's been working out well in my club (there are no VIPs, just couch dances). On a typical night I'll chat with a customer for around half a song, do 1-3 dances with him, move on to the next one and repeat. I almost never sit and chat because I hate the idea of missing out on a quick sale somewhere else, and even when it's dead I get pissed off if they don't ask for a dance or offer me money within the first song. I'm sure I visibly seize up whenever a customer offers me a drink because there's no way to know for sure whether it'll pay off, and to be honest I'm a diva -- I know it's not necessarily rational but sometimes I'll even be offended by a customer who offers me a drink because I feel like he's unsure about whether to spend and needs me to jump through conversational hoops. I also worry that even if he does want to spend, he'll underestimate how much it would take to make it worth it because the dances are cheap or he doesn't know that I sell as many as I actually do in an hour. I've been wondering how often I miss out on whales just because I'm completely risk averse, though.

    If you work in a club like mine that doesn't have a VIP to upsell, what's your strategy? Have you found that sitting and chatting or waiting for the customer to ask you for a dance makes you more money?

    I had this same problem when I was at DV...I would just try to set a goal for a certain amount of dances, and I would do my best to make him want more and more. It sometimes worked, but the whole token system kinda killed the move. "You want another one, baby? Sure thing...be right back..." *five minutes later* "Okay, I'm back! Ready?!!" But very few customers were super good about tipping for time.

    ^^I always wondered how much more money DV lost out on by requiring a new token before every dance than they did from dancers cheating the system. I never cheated the system, of course...

    I just wish there were a way to know how much money sit and chatters are actually making at my club. That's probably all this is about, wondering if other girls are secretly making a grand + every night drinking with Mr Douchebag while I'm working my ass off for increments of $20 and tips. I've had a night here or there doing the former which makes it so easy to stress about. I should probably just stop.

    Forgot to mention that my experience is essentially the same as yours. 99% of the time it's an insulting amount but it's the 1% that has me ruminating.

This is why I don't work Sundays and Mondays anymore. I fucking hate talking to all of these losers that walk in, I would much rather wanna dance everyone on Friday/Saturday and make buttloads more money for less than half of the work.
    I AGREE LOL...SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF LOSERS EARLIER IN THE WEEK! MOST WHO WANNA LOOK BUT NOT PAY, AND WANT THE GIRLS TO KISS THEIR ASS APPARENTLY. Obviously they don't know that us strippers HATE men like this...they think just cause they pay to get in we will be happy...yeah right. I love the weekends more.
