    Default do slow nights when you're not doing well bug you

    i had an interesting conversation with a dancer last night. we were talking about the job in general, and the subject of a slow night came up, or just a night in general where for some reason, the dances weren't there. she went on to say that no matter how well she does on a given night, a lot of times when she gets turned down a couple of rounds, it really starts to bother her. I was wondering if this is a common feeling.

    This is a sales job.After you strike out a few times,you will feel a little discouraged.It's normal.

    Nobody likes rejection. You just have to adapt and overcome.

    Apparently you are not in a sales job (or you don't realize that we also are) so let me put it to you this way: Pretend that where ever you work, you are paid by your output rather than by a salery or the number of hours you put in. Usually this works OK, you make pretty good money and feel good about earning your worth. Now imagine a day when your equipment is broken, you have a head cold, the people you need to help you do your job well are all drunk and goofing off in the break room, and you go home having earned about 1/3 of what you normally do, really through little fault of your own.

    Can you say, FRUSTRATION?

    Yea, but I try to put the No's behind me and let it go before it starts to effect my positive way of thinking. I hate being rejected for any reason but its a sales job so no matter what there is gonna be at least one person to reject you if not more.

    After a No I concentrate on the Yes's that way Im always moving forward.

    Oh yeah, slow nights can be a motivation killer. Especially if you experience a lot of them.

    I don't mind it so much getting some rejected on slow nights. It's when it's busy that bothers me.

    TBH, I do alright on slow nights. When I'm in a sociable state of mind, I like to cultivate nice regulars or at least focus on someone who'll spend money on me. I feel more relaxed and it shows.

    This weekend at my club, there have all been busy nights and I have been rejected so many times that I was reaching my tether and just got into the ''wanna dance'' mode. I just couldn't be arsed talking to them anymore, especially when 99% of the time they would just say no anyway. I was even more pissed when a guy was considering taking me for a dance and his friend was trying to talk him out of it. Bastard. I felt a little undesirable, but tired more than anything else and like I had wasted my time coming to the club. I don't really take it personally, but it just annoys me in general how so many men can pack out our club and all be a bunch of tight-fisted dickheads.

    Sorry, slight rant, but to sort of answer the question, non-spenders bug me.
