Opinions please: A friend and I hatched this idea to conduct sales training classes specifically for dancers. We are in sales for a living and we also both give sales seminars around the country for retail stores. We also tend to visit various clubs when we travel, and one thing we know for sure: A lot of girls can shake it, but they can't sell it. And we couldn't sell all that well either until we were taught. Selling dances and rooms is really no different than selling cars or boats when you break it right down to the core. You qualify, pitch, trial close, overcome objection, and then close it and take the cash....its the exact same process no matter what. We think we could run these seminars at a reasonable fee, and any girl could increase her take every night by simply being taught the sales process. Are we nuts, or is this a decent idea?
Thanks!

The reality is, while you or I can probably sell almost anything to almost anyone, we aren't doing it in a T-bar and a bikini top, and we aren't trying to get our customers aroused to the point of an inability to think properly anymore. FWIW, if you tried to train me or were my sales manager and never actually sold my product or service that you were training me on, I'd take everything you said with a huuuge grain of salt and then go find someone who'd actually been in the trenches and picked his/her brain instead. Much more productive.

And I do apologize for over-simplifying the process of selling dances in my original post. I certainly didn't mean it in a demeaning sense at all.
