    Default Working an empty floor

    OK, I've read all of these posts about making the customer think you are desirable or seeming busy. I've only been dancing for two weeks but so far the most people I've seen at my club at once is about 12 and the average is between 4 and 6.

    There are always other girls sitting and talking with the guys so its like musical chairs, when a girl goes to the stage another girl pops in her seat. How can I look like I'm in demand while I am playing musical chairs?

    Also, I think I am pretty cute, I've been told by many that I"m an 8 on a scale of one to 10. Most of the girls in my club are 5's but i'm making less money than everyone. I talk to each customer like he is special I joke with him too but he either isn't buying at all or buys from another girl

    My club is in a rual Ohio area and I am the only black dancer there. I don't know if that works to my disadvantage?

    Sorry this is so long but one more obstacle I need help with. When I started dancing I got my friend to go with me. When we work the same shift we will usually sit at a table of guys together. She always ends up getting the guy with more money and I get get the cheapies that buy one dance or have to borrow money from my friend's customers. How do i spot who has the dough?

    Thanx so much

    I see why you posted about regulars. You are in an environment where you are competing for a small number of customers. God, I hate that....it's very difficult to make money in that enviornment, no matter who you are.

    With that said, you can make money. I don't think race is a big factor, but it is a factor, especially in a rural area. I think the biggest factor is how you interact with a guy. You have to confident. You have to believe in yourself. You will start to learn how to hustle and spot money as you work longder, but here are some things I noticed, that will help you determine how much they will spend.

    Guys that brag about money, usually don't have any.
    You can tell a lot about a guy by the kind of watch he has.
    Guys that drink sodas and bottled water are obviously not there for the drinks.
    See what he tips the waitress/bartender.
    Look in his wallet casually to see how much money he has (don't get caught!)
    If it's a business crowd, find out who's in charge and who's entertaining whom. Warm up to those guys.

    Being the only black dancer is an advantage. I work bookings in Upper Midwest clubs and I am black. Plus I am used to big city clubs with more dancers so I apper to be more of a hustler than the other dancers which helps me sell more dancers.

    The problem I see from your post is lack of business. If your club cannot attract at least 20-30 customers at once during peak hours you have no one to sell and not much tip rail business either. In any club you are going to have lots of young guys and guys that can only buy one dance. But if the only customer you have is the guy that can only buy 1 dance how can you make money?

    You need to find a club that has better volume without having an overabundance of dancers. It's not your fault that this club is sloooow. The small town clubs I work in run 4-6 girls a night and have 40-100 guys walk in the door from about 5:30-1 or 1:30.

    Emily had many good tips on how to spot a guy with $$$, and I'd have to agree with Tina, that you do need to find a new club!

    Being a Black dancer, I'd have to say that race does play a deciding factor in who is or isn't buying dances from you. I've worked in all types of clubs. I've met Black guys who do not like Black women and White men who will not buy dances from White girls. What it all comes down to is finding someone who is interested in YOU. Everyone has different tastes, but you can't take it personal.

    Don't waste time being upset that the "money" customer isn't spending on you. Find someone who will.
    Try a club that has a higher volume of customers and watch your earnings increase.
    Don't spend too much time with one guy. If he isn't buying dances, make sure he tips you while you talk with him.

    Good luck!!
