    Default "How much for a dance?"

    I'm sure this has been covered, and I'm sure it's my poor searching skills that are preventing me from finding an answer. To be fair, "dance" and "price" and "how much" are all very common words on here.

    Here's the scenario. I'm on stage, connecting with a customer. I say, "I'd love to play with you after I get off stage." They say, "How much will that cost me?"

    Do you tell them the price for one dance? Try to sell a time block? Deflect the question so I can give a more complete answer later? This has become especially difficult for me because, in an effort to sell more time blocks, our single dance price is now $50. And that number makes people head for the door.

    Anyway, just curious what other girls do when asked on stage--a situation where my answer needs to be very short.

    They have time to think about it in the time it takes you to finish your set, pick up your tips, get re-dressed, and come find them. I would say from the stage put it off and say "I'll come find you and we'll go have fun together somewhere more private!" Or something along those lines.

    Always sell time blocks. Play up the "you're getting a better deal AND we can get a lot closer than we can if we just do a single dance!"

    There's a ton of info in hustle hut about getting customers from stage!

    Personally I just tell them dances are $20, which is the price of dances at my home club and not an off-putting number. Then I'll either try to upsell them on the way to the dance room or a couple dances in.

    Because $50 is in the high range for single dances (in PDX anyway) and you're trying to push blocks of time, I'd say something like "Well we've got a few options, lets talk about it when I get off stage." Then give your pitch.

    I'm of the belief that it's best to talk about money when I'm firmly planted in their lap and can engage the high pressure tactics. I'll gauge interest on stage, but tell them that I'll tell them all about it when I visit them at their table. I want them making emotional decisions, rather than having the time to think about it, second guess themselves and ulitimately decide against it.

    At my club, dances are $20. It adds up, because my average is good lol. When guys ask how much, I usually say something like, "it's only twenty per song," with emphasis on the word "only." Sound as if x amount of money to spend on one is no big deal, then do a great dance/VIP to convince them to get many more.

    In her club tho, the dances are $50, so she's saying that it's hard to sell a dance because it's not 'only $20.'

    I like what one person said about saying that you can talk about it when you get off stage--I also think that when you can give someone the option of spending more, but it's **like** a sale, they sometimes go for it. Like you can say, "Well, single songs are $50, or you can do 3 for $100." Try something like that??

    With dances costing that much, I would jump right up to your three-for specials. Saying something like, "We have three fully nude lap dances for $100. It's a bit longer and more intimate then just a single dance and I'd love to get a bit more one-on-one time with you." If you only mention the 3 for $100 on stage and fail to sell it, you can still go up to him once he's left the tip-rail (or if you have time on stage, you can offer the single dance price there), and tell him "Single dances are only $50." I've learned in vanilla sales that it's a popular tactic to offer the premium option first and then offer "value" options, that way the shock factor won't strike him as hard and suddenly, $50 is now a fair price. But, "why just spend $50 when you could double it and get triple the dance" is something I would mention after I have money in hand and have secured at least a single with him.

    I almost always make a point to hustle a dance out of someone when I'm on stage. Also, it may be the only time I get with that customer for a while, since he's sitting at the tip-rail and will likely remain there to watch another girl once my set is over. I find it quicker and easier to sell dances on stage because their attention is solely on me for a whole two songs and I never have to say more than a sentence or two to them. Strike while the iron's hot is my go-to strategy. I use a similar method to encourage upgrades or repeat dances once I got them high on lap dances.

    I don't try to sell from the stage ever. I'm in the same camp as kirokanstan.

    I'm not sure how your dance fees work, but in my club dances are 40 dollars. As Leather_Jacket mentioned, a lot of us girls have found that it is easy to sell dances in blocks by doing a 3 for 100$ deal. Where I work we still have to pay out for all 3 dances, but I've found it an easy way to sell more and almost every guy will take the offer!

    Lol I did the same thing when I worked at clubs with champagne rooms that cost hundreds... Act like they're really getting a deal being able to pay x amount of money for time with you. Then it's easier for them to believe it.
