    Default Crap night... what to do?

    I have been dancing only a couple of months now and have made really good money so far. But the other night, I didnt make anything!! I made about $100 less than the retainer...

    And i started early that night in my club and when i went to leave the receptionist said she wouldnt pay me anything, nothing for the shows or the tips i earnt on stage unless I stayed until close. We normally work 7 hours for the retainer shift. So i ended up working about 10hours and i was feeling sick, so stayed longer to get something out of the night. I think she did this to me as so many girls had already left early in the night as they weren't making any money.

    The custys werent tipping much and all of them that were talking to me about getting a show/private rooms asked for extras... I mean every single one. Or they asked for a discount and wouldnt pay that much then asked if they could just meet me after work, stuff like that... so i was getting pretty annoyed at the guys in the club.



    Right at the end of the night for one of the last podiums the manager was announcing all these girls to go on the podium, then he announced me... it was so stupid. There was like 10 girls on the podium pretty much hitting each other out of the way to dance in front of the custys that were tipping or rolling around on the floor all over each other... so on my last podium i made like $2.00... and still had to hang around until close just to get any money.

    And to make it worse when i finally left for the night when i was getting paid, there were a couple of other girls that were paid hundreds! what did i do wrong?

    I just dont know what i was doing wrong.

    Seriously fed up with my club.

    Theres a few things that might have contributed to your bad night:
    1) Sometimes its just a bad night not matter how hard you try. Just goes like that. Just make sure you gave it your all.

    2) If some girls were making hundreds and you were on the waay low end of the money in the club....could it be your sales skills? In terms of a bad night I like to know why I did so poorly...so I can have less bad nights in the future.

    3) The attitude you project. Its been said before here guys can sense desperation.

    4) You had night burnout early on. Maybe you werent all there and focused to break it down and bank some cash?

    What Im basically saying is analyze all the ways you could have improved your night whether it be a small break, some food, less socializing etc. Not saying you did any of this but this business youre always learning something new from the newbies to the veteran dancers.

    Good nights will out weigh bad nights. Like Tigers Milk said it may be your attitude or lack of self esteem if you have more bad nights..

    It is easier said to go about your night not giving up when you are not feeling it or not making money. So many times when I wanted to go home I stayed and the last hour of the night I struck Gold with that one custy

    You say that alot of the guys were asking for extras, is there a chance that the dancers making the big money that night were supplying the extras?

    Uh-huh... I think so.

    I was feeling sick and tired and wasnt as into it as much as I normally was. The women on the door at the reception desk were being really rude, the manager was being all grumpy the whole vibe of the place that night was just horrible.

    I should have left earlier in the night. Its a hard job to do when you are sick.

    How to recover from a bad night forget about it and go in tommorow. Sometimes it helps to buy a new lipstick or something to make you feel fresh. Have fun you are doing fine.

    When your sick your heart isnt in it nearly as much. I hear girls saying all the time that they make crap money when they dont feel good. Plus as you said the vibe wasnt that great in the club that night... the guys pick up on that and wont pay out. I have the same problem waitressing. Some nights just dont pay no matter how hard you try.. and it makes it worse when you see other girls walking out with a few hundred more then you. Dont let it get to you... it happens to everyone.

    Ok im having a crappy ass week. I haven't made any money in three days. I mean nothing. There haven't been any customers. What do you do when you aren't making money and then you see other girls who aren't as cute as you banking! Do you talk to guys who aren't giving you eye contact?

    Ditto here. I've made approximately 90 dollars in the past 3 days, after making 350 on Sunday. I don't know what's up with our club this week, but I have to go in again tomorrow to try to pay my bills. I just have to suck it up and deal with it.

    Low expectations are the key to happiness. When I have a bad day I always sit down and figure out the absolute minimum amount of money I need to make. If you say to yourself "Okay I only need to make xx dollars, anything over that is my money to do what I want"

    I don't think Easter has anything to do with it...don't understand why it would. it's income tax time.

    If I feel like shit, I don't go in. Or I leave early, and come back the next day. I find I can make as much in three days as five days if I psych myself the right way and play it smart.
    That's not very well explained, I know, but...I often go home early on Saturday nights, for whatever reason. But then I come back on Sunday and can often top $800 on a Sunday night, and I don't really know why. But if I have to go home with $400 on Saturday, but know I will for sure come back the next day and earn, well it works for me somehow. It's all in how I adjust my attitude. When there are too many girls, I get too introverted for work. On quieter nights, with less than 20 girls, no matter how many customers, as long as there are SOME, I can act like I own the place. And feel like the hottest thing there. And that kind of ridiculous self-love makes me cash, no matter how delusional. Attitude counts for so much. I agree with you- when you feel down at this job, it'll rarely be worth your while. Either try to refresh yourself and fake as happy as possible, or try the battle another day when you can.

    Dont get yourself to upset by it... its been fairly shitty latley. Hell the week before last I worked 4 days making $20.... last week I only made a total of $300 over 5 days.... when I usually would average about $1000+ in 5 days. The funny thing is you will see other girls walking away with $300+ a night... its just been really funny latley.

    If your not in the mood to be at work... dont if I can avoid going. Guys can pick up on when your not in the mood and it turns them away from you.

    I know it sucks but sadly thats just the buisness

    I had the same experience last night-don't know if it was due to the upcoming tax due date, the full moon or my raging hormones. Everyone has a shitty night here and there, but if you work at a decent club with good money-making potential, you shouldn't have to deal with more than 1 or 2 bad nights a month. And remember, those nights when guys are literally just giving you tons of money will make up for it!!
