    Default Transition from Small Talk to Selling

    what sorts of transitional statements are useful when talking to customers and trying to sell a dance? I don't want to go from talking about the Yankees to going "...so, you watched the game on your couch...oh, and speaking of couch..." or the fatal "wanna dance?"

    I am always a sucker for a joke transition like
    "Now you know I am charming (smart, witty, vivacious, sexy, whatever), would you like to see how well I dance?" Most of the time it is hard to disagree with the first part, and it paves the way to a yes on the second part.

    In my opinion it is not what you say as much as the timing, kind of like the goodbye kiss on an awkward first date.

    Something like...How's your night going? Are enjoying yourself? Is there anything I can do to convince you to come back with me to the lap dance area?

    don't do mindless small talk.

    Keep the conversation light and flirtatious. Get deeper when he's paying you for your time.

    Yeah, I chat with the customers some too and talk about Yankees sometimes too. I sometimes use the line- "Enough of the small talk I'm ready to get naked." Then I smile and nod and say I give great dances. I heard about this line from someone on stripperweb. It works pretty good, I don't know if its one of the best lines to say though.

    one of the easiest is if a song comes on that i really like, i'll say so-- if he's going to buy a dance, he'll say "well, why don't you dance?" or something to that effect... if he doesn't get up! he's not going to get a dance from you for awhile, if at all.

    Stuff like, "Would you like to see what I do for a living?" or "Gosh, listen to me ramble, you're probably waiting for me to ask you for a dance!" or "You look like you're ready to head over for some dances" is all pretty easy to fit into the flow of small talk. Just whatever line or approach you feel comfortable with or think will work with this guy. Think of yourself as a waitress; if you think a guy might be thirsty, you'll offer him a drink, right? He could be sitting there waiting for you to ask him for a dance.

    I think the sales lines may be a bit overrated. From what I get, most guys are looking for a girl with "it". I'm not really sure what "it" is, maybe a certain look, personality, or a combination of the two. It just seems most guys know it when they find a girl with it. I think after a few minutes of small talk, the guy has pretty much decided if he's going to get a dance from you or not, and a clever line isn't too likely to change his mind. There's been lots of cute ideas here and other places, so just wait for a pause in the conversation and bring it up.

    For me what has worked at times with a chatty customer is my change of body language. I show i am interested by moving a tad closer to him, smiling more for nothing really, and laughing while looking at him, then saying, so..., as i lean in even closer and i move on with "what about our night here" kinda talk.

    Body language is a big factor for me to change a mood for customers.

    This is certainly true for me. I do enjoy a few minutes of small talk / flirting, and do not react well to a straight out "wanna dance" without any lead-in. That being said, it only takes maybe 4-5 minutes of chatting before I have made up my mind. Once I have decided that the girl has "it," all she has to do is say something like, "so are you ready to go?" or "would you like to go back and get a dance?" and that is fine with me. I don't need any special transition, as long as there has been a little bit of chatting to begin with.

    Whatever. I don't care if he is talking or I am talking, when the next song begins, I pitch. I tend to talk too fast anyway since I am super ADHD and run-on my sentences all the time. If the conversation if flowing well I might wait 2 songs total, but that's it. He can finish talking later, just make the pitch!!!

    I know most of you guys are put-off by that but I spent my rookie years sitting there with some douche droning on and on for 30 minutes with no intention of paying because he knows I'm a newb.

    I don't sit with the guys much, if at all. I don't enjoy conversation with them, and I feel fake. I make most of my money by the "would you like a dance" question, if they say "no", then I say "ok", and move on. Mostly, I get them to come up to me and ask me if I'd dance for them. I am happier that way. I probably make less, but as long as I still enjoy my job then I'm good. Works for me.

    That's a great tip. I always have a hard time transitioning so that's really great advice!

    I don't even sit down most of the time while asking for dances.I usually will sit down and talk after the dance and try to upsell to a VIP at that point.

    I tend to be very abrupt when transitioning from small talk to selling. I used to work at a nude club, so when I'd hit a lull in the conversation I would glance up (as if I'm thinking about something for a second) & then say,"Heyyyyy, wanna see my pussy?" They're caught off guard & it's raunchy; how can they say no?

    That's something to consider... I usually so all the talking first, then do the dance(s) then we say thank you and goodbye and I move on the my next "victim" hehe. But I have never thought of that, trying to sell more after getting a few dances. I just figured that if they wanted a Champagne court or something they would have done that instead of the dances. I wonder if I should try this... I'm just afraid to get caught up talking for another 20 min when I already made my money off of the guy, and when the dances are over it just always seem like they expect me to go on to another guy anyway. ::shrugs:: It's something to consider though maybe it if is one of those situations where I didn't talk to much to him before the dances.

    Why transition? Always make every part of your conversation a piece into your selling point.

    That is exactly what I was going to say. You took the words right out of my mouth (or fingertips - hehe).

    I agree. Other than the basics of hi my name is ___ what's yours? The rest of your convo should be part of the sales pitch...... that isat least until you've got him as a regular or paying for a time slot in VIP.... then and only then do the small talk thing.

    Small talk is however good for stretching out time that they are paying you for , imo.

    If you have started a converstaion that you know is going no-where... try 'So you want to go and do what all strippers and their most important customers do?'

    I often get... Yeah Sure - Go straight to VIP though one idiot said - what take you home and f*ck you on my hotel floor? I said not quite.. .spend enough and you might (though he had no chance, I dont want to blow his potential money off straight away) I ended up with a good pay packet from him :-D
