    Well there's not alot of wiggle room there you just have to smile, take their hand and be all "oh c'mon it'll be fun!" Act like the money is NOT a big deal I guess. I've had it happen to me too where they're all like stone-faced and wanting me to be flexible or lenient about something, give them a better deal or whatevr but since there really is NO WIGGLE ROOM they can either buy a dance or not. two options only. I want to work the room so I don't spend alot of time trying to convince someone if they are acting straight up cheap. But I think you probably have more experience than me anyway. ha ha.

    Is the price really the reason, or just an excuse to say no?? I often ask the customer what they thought was a fair price, and frequently won't get an answer. They know that if I offer a dance for $30 and I ask what they would like to pay for the dance and if they say $20, I might say okay... then he is committed to buying the dance, or looking like a broke a-hole.

    Even if the customer says something rediculously low, like $1-5 I'll still say okay, and then give him a 30 second floor dance with all my clothes on. After giving the quickie air dance, the customer has had a chance to check me out, and then I ask if he would like to have a more intimate private dance? Sometimes, they will get more after having a low cost sample. If not, I still got a little tip out of the deal, the other customers in the room see me partying and having a good time, NOT being rejected.

    Getting turned down for a $1 dance is really not fun, but at least you know not to waste your time with that customer.

    This is interesting. What kind of dance would you give the guys who badger you for a 2-for-1 special? I get this a lot, and I don't know what to say to it. I stick to my guns, but more often than not, these guys don't buy dances.

    Finally, a justification for offering a dollar-dance! I knew there was a reason my manager told me to do them...

    Paris, so do you just pull their chairs back from the table and do the dance?

    If the 2-4-1 special is a club special, I will honor it, with one exception... Only one per customer. So, for instance, if every Monday night between 4-8pm the club runs 2-4-1 specials on dances, what choice do I have? I will give a single 2 song dance and after that he has to pay regular price for each additional dance. I make this clear up front to the customer, so that way he doesn't think we can do 10 songs and he only has to pay for 5. The first song will be a kinda crappy air dance, the second half of the second song will get very intense and hot, hence making it more appealing to pay for the HOT dance at full price. If he stops at the special, then I didn't knock myself out for half the pay.

    If I can aviod doing 2-4-1's I certainly try and do so. Same with club promotions like t-shirts and merchandise features.

    Paris, so do you just pull their chairs back from the table and do the dance?
    I might not even do that much. I may not even get up from the table, I just might flash my boobs or something. I usually wear a leg garter, and have the custie place his tip in the garter, and then I'll do a little dance fully clothed. Thirty seconds or less of booty shaking, and frequently they are ready to pay full price for the dance.

    Also the $1-5 tip for a quick dance works great on the young party groups of women. No nudity, just goofiness and fun. I remembered my grandmothers talking about going to the Playboy casino at Atlantic City back in the seventies, and they used have great fun tipping the waitresses in bunny costumes to shake thier "tails".

    I should also add that I'm okay with the thought that the custy is paying me to go away, too. I will stand in front of the guy who I know won't buy a dance from me at any price, and hold out my leg garter while staring intensely at him. After about 20-30 seconds of holding this pose, the customer will do one of two things, tip (most of the time this is what they do) or out right tell me to leave. Usually it is less painful for a cutomers to part with a dollar that it is to tell the mostly naked woman in front of him to go away- even if he doesn't find me attractive.

    Any girl who tries this should have a very thick skin. I'm amused to see who will send me packing.

    Our dances are 35 for a VIP couch dance and 15 for a table dance. A way to make a guy feel really shitty if he bitches about the price is a say "That's okay some people just can't afford to be here" and walk away. That makes him look like an asshole. And the truth of the matter is that if he can't afford dances then it is no longer neccesary to waste time on him.

    Those are really great pointers I hadn't thought of. I usually just take a big sack of rejection no's home. Not like it matters, but it does sort of wear on you when everyone has said no. Also I agree about specials...we run back to back 2-for-1s and sometimes for no reason 3-for-1s and FOUR FOR ONES!!!! I just don't really need to put my shit on discount like that so I think I'm going to start doing like Paris and explaining up front that the next songs will not be half price. (Though invariably the back-to-backs are only run when the DJ knows we finally got someone to the back room ya know?) I like the "pay me to leave" idea too but I'm not one of the thicker skinned girls and would probably come off quite comical. ha ha ha I am laughing just thinking about it....
