    Default No money T_T

    Hi,
    So I tried dancing for the first time last saturday and I went to a club here in Quebec called "Le carol" and it started out good, my first stage was exhilirating, I loved it and the very first client I talked to bought me a dance and was very interesting to talk with. Up to that point, it seemed like everything was going to be fine, but the second client I talked to was on the slot machines and seemed nice, we tchatted and he seemed interested. After he paid me a shooter I thought it was all good, he was going to want me to dance for him, but right when he told me his name, the music covered his voice and I had to ask again because I didn't hear and the stripper sitting in the other slot machine (I thought we weren't allowed to play?!) told me his age, because SHE heard him and he repeated "Yeah, she's listening!" It bummed me out so I took my glass and left! This bummed me so bad! And half of the other custommer I talked to that night were aweful and the other half were just not interested in getting a dance. Wounded up doing my second stage and just leaving because I was getting nowhere... Can anyone help me? I don't know what I did so wrong and I didn't make any money... ANY. I made barely enough to pay back my entry fee... I loved the stages and tchatting with older guys seems to be something I find really interesting, but for some reason I am failing at selling myself...

    First of all, congrats on your first night! Even if it wasn't successful in your opinion, it's still a big accomplishment!

    It sounds like you got discouraged too soon. This job definitely takes patience and there is a huge learning curve. Even veteran dancers sometimes have $0 or even negative nights, but you have to persevere. Remember as well that it really only takes one person to make your night, so hold out as long as you can. Just the other night I was doing very poorly and wanted to leave early but couldn't find a manager to check-out with. Then a couple came in and bought 7 dances from me! (couples dances cost extra so this was like selling 12 normal dances). That was unusual, but there's always a chance that the last customer of the night is the one who is going to take you to VIP or CR for an hour+ and tip well. You just really never know.

    If (and when) you do get discouraged, take a quick break. Go back to the dressing room, maybe have a snack, call/text a friend, read a little bit of a book or website you like, or just do something to "reset" yourself and then get back out there. Don't totally give up, but also don't just sulk around. Make yourself feel good, because when you feel good and definitely are more appealing (and a better saleswoman).

    As for that specific situation with the guy at the slots, it sucks but you probably shouldn't have left. If you can't hear, try to be smart and/or playful about it (for example, you could say "It's just so hard to hear this far away. Maybe I should get closer!" and snuggle up to him. Or, you could use it to your advantage: "I'm sorry, I really am trying to listen but it's just so loud and hectic out here! I think we should go someplace more quiet/intimate/private"). I try to never leave a customer (or a table of them) on a bad note, even if I think I've blown the sale or they're just not interested. That way I can come back later and try again.

    When you say half the customers that night were awful, what do you mean? Awful in what way? For those not interested in getting a dance, how are you selling/offering them? For some general tips, try Hustle Hut on here. It did really help me a lot.

    Remember that since you're new to this, you need practice. Even if you're not making money, at least you are practicing your hustle and/or dance skills. Once you've showed up, you already have to pay house fee and tip (etc.), so you might as well stay at least as hustle practice.
