So I'm finally old enough that many of my customers have better hearing than I do. I like to think of myself as a good conversationalist, but I quite often have no clue what the man is saying! Often I will talk into a customer's ear, only to have him respond with his mouth pointed away from my ear. Reminding him that if he finds it hard to hear voices in the club, other people probably do as well, can easily kill the "flow" or whatever, and will shatter the fantasy if he wants to think I'm 23. I'm surprised that I couldn't find threads on this. Please share your tips for talking with people you can't hear! Has anyone studied lip-reading, and if so, how? Did it appreciably improve your sales? I've found that watching silent movies and mimicking their exaggerated body language helps, but only if the guy is willing to accept that strip clubs are not the real world and it totally makes sense to do $17 shots with a dead movie star.
