    Default Tough Questions

    "Why should I get a dance from you?"
    "What makes you better than anyone else?"

    Questions like this often stump me. I only have a comeback like "Let's go for a dance and then you'll find out" or "I can show you better than I can tell you". Usually the situation doesn't turn out in my favor.

    Any thoughts on how I can better handle these situations?

    Rule #1 about sales is tap into emotion first then back it up with a little bit of logic. Your answers don't really tackle either of them and don't really answer the question either. What you need to do is make the sale more emotional.

    "While anyone can give you a lapdance, I can give you an experience." That's a pretty bold statement to make when you are looking them dead in the eye and will get really good results for you. The reason is because it taps into the emotional response, not the logical one. Another great strategy is tied in with physical projection of body language.

    For example, what you should say is, "You came in here to have a great time, right? [wait for him to respond with 'yes'] Well, you can get a dance from any woman in here, but when you want to have the experience you dreamed of when you came in, I'm the one you want to spend time in the VIP room with."

    Two very major points here. The first is when you say, "I'm the one you want to spend time in the VIP room with," VERY subtly and lightly with your fingertips tap on your chest just below your neckline. This physical projection is a very powerful selling technique because it ties your words to your physical being. You'd be shocked at how well this works. The second key component to this is an assumptive sale.

    In the sentence where I wrote, "...but when you want to have the experience you dreamed of..." there is one very key word inserted in there which will increase your closing ratio dramatically. Notice I didn't say, "But if you want to have..."? I replaced the word "if" with the word "when". If gives your customer a way out. "When" assumes it's going to happen and by taking an asumptive stance with your customer guiding them in the direction that you want, they will take action to that direction. In this case, it's to the sale of a dance or a trip to the VIP room. So, rule #2 is never, ever, ever say the word "if" in any conversation when you are selling. Always replace it with the word "when". You'll see a substantially different result using these techniques in the scenario you presented. Just make sure you practice it all a bit before you hit the front lines.

    i love using language to subtly manipulate the customer into leaning a particular direction! this was one of the first things i learned as a hostess

    also, being a linguistics/semiotics student i learned lots more stuff like that, too.
    use of agency is a good one, like DW mentioned, tying the experience of having a dance to *you* as a person, there fore making seem more real, and not just leaving it an abstract concept.

    I bet my semiotics tutor wasn't imagining i would implement her teachings in such a way!

    my only problem when I say that is customers at the club I work think of it as me saying "I'll give you anything you want, and you can touch me all over." I had one guy I said that to and then he said, "so I can stick my penis in you?" How do you respond to that???

    ...to answer the question you asked, danellebell--how to respond when he says "so i can stick my penis in you?" that's when you laugh and say, "ya know i guess i'm not what you are looking for after all" and move on to the next one. those types are rarely worth the hassle.

    but that's just what i would do....other people might have a better answer that would get the guy into v.i.p. ... personally i wouldn't want to give him a dance after that.
    Oh, I musta took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

    Okay, to the expectation of sex in VIP question, I just look at the customer and turn the question back around on him (and some customers need no leading into this line of thought)...

    Dancer: "so have you had sex in our VIP before?"
    Customer: "No."
    dancer: "So why would you expect it now? Or are you just trying to be purposefully annoying?"

    Of course this assumes that sex is NOT available at your club.

    In response to the OP, I am super arogant and confident in my answer to why he should buy a dance from me and not another girl.

    Q- Customer: "Why should I buy a dance from you?"

    A- Dancer: "Oh, maybe you shouldn't. Most men can't stop with just one, I'm that good." (reverse psychology)

    A- Dancer: "Because I am the best lap dancer here, of course!"

    A- Dancer: "You work very hard for your money, as do I. A lap dance from me is an experiance well worth the money. Why waste your money on a so/so dance when you can buy a great dance right from the get go?"

    A- Dancer: "I was voted best dancer in the state!"



    Q- Customer: "What makes you better than anyone else?"

    A- Dancer: "You do! I feel like we have a real connection, and that is really what makes a dance good, isn't it?"

    A- Dancer: "Well, I am the most popular dancer here for a very good reason..."

    A- Dancer: "I'm psychic. I know exactly what you like and how to give it to you." (Okay, so that is smart assed, but I do use it sometimes, and guys do fall for it ).

    Another dovetail to this is, "You work hard for your money, and I enjoy working for mine and it shows in each and every dance I'll do for you."

    I look them straight the eye and say "Because I'm AMAZING." If it's a young guy I say "Because I'm fucking amazing." The trick is believing it yourself, because if you don't it's futile... people can always sense a lack of confidence. Make sure you do it with charisma. Anyway, it works 9/10 times for me.... try it!!
