    Default my first night

    well I had my first night last night, and all in all it was pretty good, made about 200 bucks after tip out. I felt a little out of place and alone, and tried to fit in and get the hang of things and how the club worked. I sold a few dances. Im not aggressive and didnt try to sell any, I was nervous and didnt really know what to do, after I got of the stage set I found myself standing by myself and it felt awkward. I dont know how to go about approaching men to get things started. Hopefully things will be easier next week. All the girls seemed pretty nice and the management is great.

    you did a great job, considering you don't have your hustle working yet. You'll get into the swing of things and start making big money! Congratulations!

    When you approah people say "hi my name is (____) mind if i sit down/would you like some company?" Or...."....how are doing tonight?" "are ya having fun?" Those are pretty good openers for me...some people dont like using the like some company one.
    Everyones hustle is different...its voice projection too.
    Smile where ever you are and always talk to a customer is you can....other words...look busy.

    Now thats over...200 is great hun you did a good job on your first night!! No, worries though...everything is easier from here. Try out different looks/voice tones/sales picthes to see what works for you.

    Congrats!! I guess the best way to start is to get yourself comfortable with approaching and talking to strangers. I'm a bit of an extrovert and like meeting new people but I hate selling/hustling. I don't know if this works for everyone, but it works for me. To get over the nervousness factor, I just pretend I'm at a normal bar or something and they're just normal guys that I'd say hello to. Say "g'day, how are they, how's their night going, are they having a good time, would they like to buy a dance?" Or if you are not comfortable with hustling (I know I'm not, but I give it a go anyway) or are afraid of being knocked back (a common fear for everyone starting) then close off with a "ok, well have a great time!". If you do this enough times you'll get used to the approach, then you can start selling when you're comfortable with initiating the convo. It's a good idea to approach people who tipped you while you were at the podium as a start.

    Oh, and one thing - you'll need to get used to people saying no, and learn to not take it personally. Just smile, say "no worries" and move on to the next bloke. If you worry about why they said no then you'll stress yourself out too much. Good luck!

    Congrats! It'll come after awhile. I felt a little awkard too. Just try to stay chatting with custy's and look busy, even if your not. No one likes to see the bored stripper sitting in the corner, or the group of them at the bar gossiping. You want the men to think your in high demand.
    And don't worry if they say no! It's okay! I had one night when guys were shaking their heads no before I even got to their table! Or I would sit down, and they would get up and leave! Boy, that was not a good night. But you can't take it personally, it's a part of the job.

    But then last night, it was totally different. Guys were requesting me, I was in high demand, and they couldn't get enough. Things can totally turn around for you, so try to always stay postive. Just remember, when your in the club, chances are a guy is watching, even if you can't tell or see him.

    Also, when you are hustling, stay away from the "wanna dance?" line. At the very least, introduce yourself, ask him if he's enjoying himself. He hears that line 20 times a night. It get's old. And the older men really like it when you sit down and chat. They almost expect it, actually.

    But good luck, your going to be fine!
