    Default Are you any good?

    I had a customer ask me " Well are your dances even good?" I felt like saying "No, you won't get the least bit aroused". My real answer was, " well I guess you will have to find out" Just wanted to know if anyone has heard this or something similar/ and what your response was. He did get the dance by the way, and seemed just fine.

    Here is a system that will work well for you that implies the sale and also answers the question. It should sound something like this:

    "Good isn't the word. The moment you tell me you want a dance, the sooner I can give you the most unbelievable and erotic lap-dance you ever thought imaginable."

    A response of this nature would have me rapidly moving the the direction of away. It's a pre-programmed response, and would have me thinking the resulting lap dance would also be pre-programmed.

    Sure, a lap dance club is a highly artificial environment, and anyone who takes it at face value needs his head examined, but I would like to think I was dealing wih a dancer with personality enough to come up with her own witty reply, not one with a robotic response.

    I tell guys that ask me that .. "I must be doing something right, no one has ever wanted their money back." It works , oddly enough. When they as well ask me who the best dancer there is, I say me of course.. and make it sort of a joke. It makes you look better than some sort of egotistical meanie.

    I liked DW's response... of course a dancer isn't just going to repeat it verbatim.. She'll put her personality into it and it'll come out all seductive like and you'll be begging her to dance for you.

    I use little bites like this all the time at work and they HELP... But I find I need to change it up after a about 3 months or so because they do sound programmed...

    never have asked that. but i will ask if another dancer is good. but you can rarely take it at face value. if her response fits the other girl persona on stage then she's telling the truth. if they mismatch then she's a rival or a friend.

    he prob wanted to know what goes on back their if he's a noob

    or wanted to know what makes your dances special/what you do different.

    I can see why DW's advice would make some guys run. But hell, if you sound confident enough and put a tad of smile and personality into it, it would work. I think in most cases if it sounds to good to be true it is, even in a strip club.

    I would just lay low and say "yes i am good, no complaints, and many want me again!"

    I don't think i was ever asked if i was any good at a ld...lol. But mine are more than ld's so people watched, that is probably why i don't remember being asked that question.

    Sometimes a bit of a grind hurts one guy, other times many guys want it!!!

    Dunno. I hate questions when i work anyway.

    Phil,

    Any decision made by a customer based on one spoken line of dialogue by an entertainer (no matter how witty or spontaneous) has a very high probability of being a poor decision. The procurement of a lap dance is a highly complex, multifaceted process involving many, many very subtle factors and variables. You can't take the situation too lightly.

    Okay, I'm kidding.

    If it feels right, then do it. If it doesn't, then don't. It really is that simple.

    Sorry, it's only my second day on this website (although I've had a long and distinguished career on "that other stripclub website"). I had no idea that my silly little pastime was taken so seriously by so many others ;-)

    I actually told a customer yesterday that I give THE worst lapdances ever. I told him I trip all the time and end up with my panties stuck over my head and end up kicking stuff over and they are just horrible. Luckily he thought my sense of humor was sexy and bought 3. He liked them.

    I would never ask if a dancer is good, but that line would earn her a dance just on creativity alone.

    You are absolutely correct Pamela. Of course the inflection of how it's spoken means as much as the words being spoken. I use this system frequently when dealing with resistence of my customers with tremendous success. The technical term for it is called a "direct link".

    When a customer asks that question, most of the time he really wants a dance from you and needs a little push. Don't see it as annoying. See it as an invitation.

    Save for the customers who asked for blow jobs, I've landed every single sale when asked this question. The same goes for "What goes on during a dance?" You will see a good share of perverts and you will see many who are genuinely curious about you and require one more reason to start spending money.

    I see it the same way Lizette. I think they want to be pushed into getting a dance....so I just tell them "its all about you...I want to make sure YOU have a good time". I dont know if thats not so good but its been working for me into getting multiple dances from the same person. Usually, I will do this and look them straight in the eye w/ a sexy smile. Eh...works for me. I do a different response for every guy most of the time. Except the ones that say it w/ the inflection of a smartass or seem like they are looking for "more".

    I agree with Lizette and some of the others that most of the time if I guy asks this he all ready is half way to sayin yes--"give me a reason" and your in. I think it is hard to bomb this one. BTW I am LMAO MP...you have a great written word. Oh and good one Holiday
    I also agree with DW that confidence is always key....a variation in your own words, said with style and charisma, should go over nicely IMHO.

    Okay, I spent last night in silent meditation...searching for the optimal retaliatory solution to the problem presented by this particularly pesky customer question. (Yeah, those customers, they're so annoying. Who needs them?)

    The next time a customer asks you this question, you look that customer dead in the eye, put a big smile on your face, and say, "There's only one way to find out." (Might also help if you placed your hands on the arms of his chair...pinning him in a little.)

    That should separate the deadbeats from the customers "just needing a little extra push". Plus, it has the added advantage of being the absolute, 100% God's-honest truth. That never hurts.

    P.S. Is there anywhere I can get a glossary of the abbreviations used on this website?

    My answer to "are you any good?":

    "Damn good actually. How about we disappear into a corner for one and if you like it, great - we'll keep going. If not, you can totally banish me from your table forever (or something dramatic like that),". For those guys on the fence, it normally pushes them over it. The guy with just $20 doesn't have to feel like a loser for only being able to afford one dance (he's got an "out").

    I've never had too many guys ask me this question in a way that made me think they were just curious about lapdances or nervous or just in need of a little push. Everytime I've been asked this question it's been by men who wanted extras. (And by that I mean FS, HJ, BJ, fingering, etc.) I know this because when I told them that I gave a really good dance, and we went back to do one, they tried the aforementioned activities. When I informed them that this was against the rules they usually say something along the lines of "but you said it was going to be good/fun/hot/etc."

    So, I totally hate this question. If I ever hear it from someone who I think is actually in need of info about LD's because they don't have much experience with one, then it will be different, but I haven't experienced that yet.

    I just smile, look them in the eye incredulously with eyes all big and wide and say, "Of COURSE, _________(**input name**)" Also if, for example, they say their name is Steve, I'll call them Steven, John, Johnathan, etc and draw it out very slowly...People love to hear their name! Guys that ask "What do I get?" I usually will just smile and excuse myself...these guys always want more, at least at my club.

    I agree with Alexis. If the customer has the nerve to ask this question, he islikely from out of town or never been to the club, and probabally trying to find out 'what extras are on the menu' (ugh!). That, or they want me to talk to them over beer for half an hour about how good the dances are, only for him to eventually say 'nah, I don't think I want one'.

    BUT, I like DW's response, and I'm going to use it. This is because there is some chance that they really DO want a dance, and they just need to feel 'pushed' into it to ease their conscience.

    Dw's answer puts the customer on the spot, and it's a polite way of getting to the point, if he wants a dance or not.

    Holiday, you are just hilarious. Having met you once, I can absolutely see you saying this. Love your sense of humor.

    This really has to be one of the stupidest questions a customer can ask. What does he expect you to say? Lizette could be right that he's ready and just looking for a final psuh to get a dance, but I suspect these guys are hoping you'll promise something more.
