    Default Getting custy's phone number.

    So there was this real slow night at my club and I was in the dressing room freshiening up when I heard one of the girls on the phone. She was talking to another girl who worked at the club.

    She told her how dead it was and asked her if there was anyone the friend could call to come in so she can make money.

    So, I first I want to understand about when it's ok to ask a guy for his number. Or do you not ask and let them offer it up.

    Also, I get having your regular's number for when YOU are at the club. But my story?? If the friend could call people and tell the guys to come in for someone else... I don't get that.

    I think it's called desperation....

    Let's say the dancer had her cell phone service shut off. She uses the pay phone (or borrows a cell phone) to make one call to her best friend, who has the numbers for guys they both know. The friend makes the calls. She might tell a whipped guy, "Get your ass in the club for my girl Summer." In other cases she might use more subtlety.

    I have the house/pay phones in various clubs on my play phone directory. When a club number rings, it says [CLUB INITIALS] DESPERATE, as if that were a dancer's name. I get calls like that all the time on Rent Week, but the price/performance quotes are heart-warming.

    You can ask a customer for his phone number if you think he really likes you. I turn down most requests, even if they offer to swap numbers. Some dancers sell customer (and dancer) numbers or trade them for drugs, so you're going to get calls from people you don't want to know.

    Plus boyfriends get the phones and start drama. I tell dancers I don't have a voice message, so no one knows if it's a girl or guy. And I NEVER answer calls with the caller ID blocked. I don't answer many calls at all, because I'd rather just listen to the messages. Crash calls (car accident or drug crash) are the scariest.

    I wouldn't ever call a customer unless he made a point of asking me to call. Generally, the guys who will become regulars will take note of when you are working, or ask you when you work. I keep a schedule on my website and tell customers they can find it there. I don't know, I guess some customers would come in if you called, but I think that would be the unlikeliest outcome of the situation.

    I've heard girls in the dressing room call custies and tellthem to come in and see them that night. I personally couldn't do this. I do have the nuber of about three customers but I never call them to come in. They call to see when I'm working, one is out of town and another out of state so it helps to get schedules coordinated. The other cals me to find my husband so they can play golf! (He's gotten to be a very good friend outside the club).

    It's up to you if you want to get numbers. it can help to let them know when you're working and with some it's good to ouch base withwhen your not. Makes for a good client relationship. They few that I do tlak too, it makes them feel mportant so they can't wait to come in, wiht $$$.

    In some states or cities it is considered solicitation to exchange phone numbers with customers. This can even apply to accepting a customer's business card. Some clubs will not allow their ladies to exchange information either. Check on your local laws and club rules.

    I have customers that I keep in touch with through email or phone, but they are long time customers whom will call to see if I am working, or I will contact if I have a change in schedule.

    Hey, though, if a gal is making money by calling her customer to come in on a slow night, is that really desperate or just smart business?

    Smart business if she's making money, but I never respond to "same day" calls.

    This true of every club I have ever worked at and I have seen dancers get arrested for this so I don't recommend it.

    I've never called a customer, ever. They'd normally ask me what days/times I am working, and I'd give them that information.

    I like the # exchange because I do not work a set schedule. But I have them calling out the wazoo, so it gets kind of annoying. Plus, they never come in when expected so they end up waiting while I am busy with guaranteed money. Its such a huge pain I am thinking of stopping it alltogether.

    so the first night i was working at my new club (dude do I get the award for most frequent club changes now?) i had this guy take me up to VIP for like the entire night. He is from Conneticut, but was in MI for buisness. He put his business card in with the cash when it was time to pay me, and promised he would come in to visit me next time he was in town (it will be this up coming Tuesday) Should I send a reminder email and say hey come visit, from the email on his buisness card (in advance)?

    Also, very random comment, I was talking to a customer last week and we were talking about our pets and he asked if I knew of a good place for a pet sitter. So I recommended the co. who watches my kitty, he wanted the number so I had my mgr read me the number from my cell phone, so it didn't look suspicisous like I was trying to give out mine.

    I wouldn't send him an email at the address on the card unless he told you that it was ok the last time he was in. You never know who has access to that email address.

    If it is not illegal then hey why not- but I'd find out for sure ( dont trust the club or manager go to the city or country website and look up the laws or call someone offical and ask what the laws are)

    I mean think about it- Is a customers phone number worth getting arrested, going to jail and a perm. record

    I've seen it happen to dancers who didnt know any better ( heck I didnt know until I saw a dancer get handcuffed for taking a business card) but judges typically dont accept ignorance of the law as an excuse. Better safe than sorry.
