    'I'm waiting for someone..'

    I had a bad night a couple of days ago when 75% of the customers said they were waiting for someone.



    Maybe it was just an excuse since I was feeling a little awkward with my new haircut or are they really waiting for someone?

    Is it still possible to hustle these customers, or is it a waste of time?

    Here's an idea. When you get the, "I'm waiting for someone" response, reply with, "Oh cool. Hey, what's his name. When he get's here we'll play a little joke on him." This will call the guy on the fact that either he's telling the truth or he's BSing you. So, if his friend really does show up, you approach him by name and say, "Hey, Bob, Steve here was telling me all about you and I was looking forward to meeting you when you came in!" which gives you great rapport with both of them when this happens. Now, if fifteen minutes later if the "friend" hasn't shown up yet, just ask him casually, "Hey, what happened to your buddy?". You'll get some goofy response, but this is a great time to say, "Well, figuring that he's going to be a while longer, why don't I keep you company until he arrives?"

    Dancer,

    I think she meant the customers were waiting for other dancers However, that is a really neat point you make. I'll have to try it!!!

    This is a damn good question. The last thing i want to come across is that i am being pushy. Also it would be pretty bad if i tried to get him to vip and he turns me down and then tells his ATF that i was trying to STEAL HIM...

    i think this is a loser situation, i just offer to get her and then tell him to have a wonderful night and walk away.

    You can tell if a customer is waiting for another dancer or not. If you work at a club enough you will be able to tell who comes in to see his regular girl.

    Observe the table. If no one has come to the table after a reasonable period of time, then the guy is fair game to be approached again.

    Under no circumstances should you hustle a guy that you KNOW is in the club to see a specific dancer. That has happened to me with my regular and it really upsets a guy when other girls feel he will spend on them just because he spends a lot on you, and it is rude. Just smile and say hi, and maybe because you were nice and didn't sweat him he will give you a decent tip at some point.

    Also, are you working at a club where there are as many or more dancers as customers? Guys get put off in that type of situation as girl after girl is hitting him up and waiting for someone is a brush off so he can get some peace.

    One of the cutest come-backs from a dancer after I told her that I was waiting for someone was:

    "Well you're not anymore, I am here now."

    Had to admit it was good, and decided to get a dance just for the originality of it.

    I only ask because this happend to me a couple times, where the guy is waiting for a certain girl and I know she's around and I offer to find her, and he says no thanks. It seems counter-productive.

    If she was in the VIP I would go check and then come back and say "She's in the VIP right now."
    Like, sometimes I'm in a good mood and I feel like helping people. Lol I don't know. It doesn't happen too often so when it does it seems weird that people don't accept your kind gestures?

    Maybe it's a good idea to say that you'll keep them company while they're waiting.. Chat for 1 or 2 songs and ask for a dance?

    Has anyone tried this?

    ^^^ I would say that is a good idea only if you really don't mind taking a break.. if your intention is to hustle and someone says they are waiting for someone you should probably ask them if you can make the wait more pleasant with a lap dance sooner rather than later...definitely don't wait 2 songs unless you really do feel like hanging out..

    My take on it....


    Ladies,if a guy says this,and doesnt follow it right away with"but wow,your the girl of my dreams","fuck the person or persons i WAS waiting for".

    Move on.

    You have not made a love connection!!!

    The last thing you want,or the customer wants,is you hanging out with a sales pitch for 15 fucking mins!!!!!

    Are you kidding me???

    He already said no,by saying he is waiting for someone else.

    Why piss him off for the girl he IS waiting for,or why waste 15 freekin mins of your time trying to change his mind when you could be sitting with someone who says"I was waiting for someone,until you came along and brightend up my day"???

    You dont got 15 mins to sell a custie who has already said no from the beginning.
    You dont give a custie 2-3 songs who starts off with a no.

    Move on,your money awaits.

    Had this to happen to me a lot of times.

    Recall one customer told me this and I apologized, thanked him and left.

    Some time later, another man, a buisness associate,I guess, came and sat next to him and I could see them talking. Well, I told myself, as I was delivering drinks to another table, I could pass by there, and I did. We made eye contact, he smiled and motioned me to come over and I did. He said could I keep him and his partner company, and I said sure, as soon as I finish delievering the drinks I will be right over.

    This turned out to be a very good evening for all of us, especially me. Sold one man a dance, he would watch his partner, and then I would switch over and his partner would watch him, back and forth.

    Sometimes, when they say they are waiting for somebody, yeah they are. But most of the time it is just another brush off excuse.

    I never would have guessed that dancer would take this stuff so personal. I will usually say "No thank you" when approached. Direct and to the point. However, when I get to a club, I am going to say no right away anyway, as I like to get aclimated, have a few drinks, make sure all my friends made it, get some ones's, and chill before I start having fun.

    Only lately do I have an ATF, and she sees me enter the place, I am dragged straight away for a LD or 4. Last time I asked for a stay of execution so I could chill out some first and get into the mind set I like. She was cool with it, as she has plenty of business to take care of. I ain't no cash cow that's for sure.

    I would rather deal with the guys that when you ask then how they are are doing they respond with "good now". Trying to hustle guys who are "waiting" for someone, just takes too much time and effort.

    I get "I'm waiting for someone" all the time. As in they are waiting for another dancer. It's always an excuse. The same guy will say the same thing to every dancer who tries to talk to him. He'll sit there a couple hours and then walk out. I hate that.

    assuming it is a dancer: I always do the "Who are you waiting for? Can I fetch them for you?" if they fumble for a bit, say something like "uh, er, I don't remember their name, I'll see them" I say "well! good luck with that!" and take off. I don't try to hustle them. Apparently the guys at your club have learned that is the 'secret password' to get a dancer to go away without saying the dreaded "no thank you." I will get them for them, too.

    If they are waiting for a friend/associate, dancerwealth's response was great.

    If someone says this, I normally won't offer to find a dancer for them. I'm not their skivvy! I only do this for one or two well-known customers whose staple ATFs I know but who also on occasion have gotten or will get dances from me. Otherwise, I end up feeling like the redundant servant dancer.

    If it's just a random guy who is only waiting for a girl he has his eye on (i.e. not an established ATF) I will ask the guy if they don't mind me warming them up in the LD room so that they're ready for their lady once she arrives or I'll engage in small chit chat for a moment or two before leaving them. I only do this if it's quiet or am struggling to sell dances. If it's busy, I'll tell them to have fun and will move on.

    I find that you can be pleasant with someone who says they are waiting for someone... Always wave and say hello, each time they come back - like that you remember them and if it is slow and the girl they are waiting for hasn't shown up or will be delayed they will often have a dance with you or tip you onstage - if you build a 'friendship' you can be their fill in for when she isn't there. Because regulars are there for that 'friendship' and if they see it in you, once they are tired of their dancer or feel like trying someone else, you will be it. I don't 'talk' to them unless there is no one in the club and they are alone... just wave and say 'hi'. It has worked for me on a number of occasions.

    If I'm waiting for someone, and if I'm asked whom, I'll say who it is. If the dancer offers to fetch her, that's a good thing, and I'll definitely remember her as a fair player.

    If I really am waiting for someone, I really don't like other people meddling into the matter. If I don't wish to reveal her name then that's my perogative.

    The way I see it, there's really not much of an issue here to whether the customer really means "I'm waiting for someone" or if its a blow off. The end result either way is more than likely going to be $0 in your garter. By calling him on this by asking "who", you're just going to end up making him uncomfortable and agitated.

    If he's not interested in you sitting down, simply tell the guy your stage name, tell him to have a wonderful evening and that he's free to change his mind should he and get tired of waiting.

    I simply ask, "Would you like me to get someone for you?" That way, it's not asking her name and he can simply say no if he doesn't wish me to. It's not meddling, and seeing how nasty some dancers can be, I don't know why someone would get agitated by you trying to be helpful. It's not like when she comes out and goes to you that everyone won't know you were waiting for her anyway. I've never had a bad experience with that myself, and I would appreciate it if I had a customer waiting and didn't know it. I might have been giving dances, walked to the dressing room to freshen up afterwards and not gone out to the floor immediately. If you're there to spend money on her, she should give you the common courtesy of a hello. If she's busy and someone lets you know, you may decide to get other dances or go to the tip rail while waiting.

    There are many times I go to a SC but do not take dances. It could be the free food or trying to size up the dancers. I just tell them "I am just here to chill for now." If a dancer has a prob with that she can piss off - I am there for my entertainment not to pad their bank acct. A dancer friend told me "when u walk into a club u do not owe those girls shit."

    Yes, I had the same dancer tell me the same thing. She dances under the name Attila the Hun, and works at the House of Bad Vibes and Used Auto Parts over by the Ship Channel.

    I don't understand that last post. There's nothing else to do at a strip club. If you want to have a drink and shoot the breeze, go to a regular bar. Free food? I don't know how many clubs have a free buffett that you don't pay admission to get into, so it's not free (perhaps Houston is different). Your friend is right that you don't owe anyone shit, but don't sit there and watch at the tip rail and not tip. Or try to monopolize someone time when you don't plan on getting dances. You know why we are there, its absolutely ridiculous to not expect us to ask you for dances. Piss off? Because we're doing our job?
