I've been changing the way I work by emphasizing the up-sell for hourly sessions in the VIP/Champaign room and not doing individual dances much any more. This elimenates the need to provide an increasing level of contact as the songs progress to retain his interest. I find this makes me feel better about working, and I can still make a couple grand a week and only dance for one customer a night, maybe two. This is working well for me to combat the trend in my club towards more explicit dancing: I have clear limits in my mind when I sell an hour, I collect the credit card before I begin, and if the customer s not satisfied, I tell them they still owe me for the full hour.
Yesterday I had the grossest customer, he was actually an ok guy, but he wore these thin jogging pants (the slippery nylon kind) and obvioustally no underwear and i could feel his disgusting boner against me and if that wasn't bad enough then I felt a drop of pre-cum through the pants on my thigh and thats right when he told me to grind on him. Previously this would have been enough to make me stand up and get dresses and just charge him for however many songs had passed and just get the hell out of there. Instead, I told him that he wore the wrong kind of pants and I can feel all his stuff and its grosing me out, that he had me for the hour so we could sit and talk, but I was not going to grind or dance for him any more. I got much more money out of him than I would have if I just walked away, but I didn't touch him for one more second.
Earlier, I was in my car in a parking lot and this old guy got out of a new luxury car and came over to me and asked for my phone number. He was waaaay older than me, and using a totally tacky 'let me buy you a coffee' line and leering at me. [BTW: is there anything more disgusting than a 50 year old man hitting on a 20 year old girl? PEDOPHILE!!) Normally I would just put up my window or drive away, but instead I gave him my phone number and when he called I told him to come to the club and have some champaigne with me. After he heard I'm a stripper he was like 'lets go out for lunch, I"ll make it worth your while' (yah dude, sure I'm a hooker since I'm a dancer, right??) But, instead of hanging up on him I just kept telling him to come to the club to have some champ. with me. He eventually said he's going to call me one night soon and come to the club. The worst thing that could happen is that he never comes, but I'd say its more likely that he's good for at least a couple hours in the VIP.
Also, when I circulate in the club I find the guy who probabally has the money but just needs some persuasion to buy an hour, then I latch onto him and do a hard sell for as long as it (reasonably) can take; sometimes 20-30 mins or even more. I get them to buy the hour, some stay for multiple hours, some leave after the first and feel ripped off. But my limits are now taking priority over their enjoyment and I'm seemingly more willing to take risks and ask for more than I think I can get, and at least somtimes it pays off.
Sorry this is so long, hope it makes sense.
