    Default Slow Nights=Slower Hustle

    Tonight was super slow. I am used to a fast hustle. Sometimes I don't even get to the name exchange. Guy shows interest, I offer him private time and off to the VIP area we go. But on the slow nights, I have noticed that you have to put the time in. So tonight I did. I ended up getting $300 out of two guys but I spent 3 hours with them and by the end of the night, one of the guys was venturing off elsewhere. I knew in my mind that I should have moved on sooner but there was nothing else to move on to. Besides, I think the reaosn why I got the money from them in the first place was because I stayed with them for so long.

    Anyone have any advice on what they would have done different or would you have done the same thing? They did buy me drinks all night long and tipped me pretty good whenever I went on stage....

    Well, if it was that slow, maybe you did the best you could do. I also slow my regular hustle down when it's slow (in fact I've worked in slow clubs so long I no have to make an effort to speed my hustle up.) If it's slow, I'm more amenable to letting guys take breaks. It seems like many guys are willing to ultimately spend more if they are spending it in short bursts rather than all at once. If a customers makes it clear that he won't dance again soon, I tell him I'll come back and check on him, and walk around to see if there's anyone else I can dance for. When I get back, hopefully he has had time to miss me and wants another dance. This can backfire if it's really slow, though, because sometimes other girls will move in on him while you're gone. It's a gamble.

    I have this exact problem on our slow nights. It's so hard when you know you're spending WAY too much time with one guy or even a group of guys, but there literally is nowhere else to go. If they're friendly but not biting for dances and it's busy, it's easy enough to say "Well, it's so great hanging with you but [gesture to crowd] I do have to get out there - unless you want to be the one to go play with me . . . " How do I do that when it's empty? "Well, I've really got to get back to picking my nose in the dressing room. Take it easy!"

    I posted a little about this elsewhere. One guy had me tearing my hair out last week - talked to him for what must have been a total of two and a half hours, and ultimately he ended up having such a grand time talking to me that he crossed that threshold where he thinks he feels such a "connection" with me that getting a dance would just cheapen it somehow. At some point I should have cut my losses and gotten some quality nose picking in, because it devolved into an ridiculously frustrating argument about why I couldn't meet him outside the club. This has happened to me before to varying degrees, but not to this extent. AUGH!

    This same guy went on about how he used to like lap dances when he was young, but he's over that not, and how he only has $80, and then how he'd think about a VIP but only for $150 (mine is $200), then $180 (what the fuck is this, a market in Tijuana?), and then finally he offered $250 for a VIP . . . but only if I'd do it for him OTC. Oh, I could do the same thing I do here, just give him an extra couple of minutes, that's all. Would not even pretend to understand why that would be a ridiculous risk to my safety, and acted all insulted that I didn't trust him.

    With the above asshole, I couldn't think of a reason to walk away, at least in the first part of the conversation (which had actually been really nice). Then by the end, I got into the mindset of "Well, I've spent THIS much time, I'd damn well better make sure I get SOMETHING out of it!" Yeah, a lousy two dollars during my third stage set, when he finally even deigned to wander down to the stage.

    Wish I could help you out, KittyKat - obviously I gots some learning to do as well. Sorry this was so long, clearly I can relate.

    Yeap, that's the best you can really do. I usual limit how much time I spend with one guy by counting the number of songs in my head. Then I ask him if he would like to spend some time with me upstairs in the VIP Room. If he says no, then I ask him if he would mind if I make a quick round and be back. I usually come back to the one guy that I think that I have the best chances with and this helps him feel special too. But I totally suck at the convo clubs. I prefer the high hussle high turnaround club. Also, if it's really slow. Then you risk other girls movign into your customer like someone posted previously.

    Yup, I feel all of you girls. I didn't leave these customers because there was no one else to go to and if I did leave, other girls would come over and possibly occupy their time and wallets. I just had that feeling while I was sitting there and knew I sat there a long time. It is totally a gamble.

    I myself also prefer the fast hustle clubs as well Oceanside. Makes the night go by faster and it cuts to the point. You know what guys are in there for. The club I work at in San Francisco is extremely chatty so I struggle to constantly find that balance. Knowing when I should stay longer and knowing when to cut out and move on to the next custy. But sometimes you get lucky and find the custy who loves tipping you for the conversation. But those are rare!!

    Thanks for sharing your stories. I feel better about last night now. After all, you only have what is in the club to work with. Sometimes all you can do is hope for the best...

    I try not to sit with anyone for more than 2 or 3 songs, even if it is slow. There are so many excuses to make when leaving a conversation.
    I either say:
    1. I need to use the ladies' room
    2. I need to go smoke a cigarette
    3. I need to get a drink of water
    4. I'm on stage soon
    or my favorite (makes me seem responsible or like a concerned friend):
    5. I have to make a phone call

    The absolute best is when one of my regulars comes in and I can say that I have to go talk to them.

    If they seem interested in me, I say that I will come back to chat later and that they should make sure and watch my stage performance. 9 times out of 10, they will throw me a tip at the very least.
    My problem is that I sometimes get busy forget to come back...but I suppose this could make me look important. lol
    I figure they can always track me down when I am in transition and get a dance.

    You got the $300 because you used your brain, and you earned every cent of it.

    I actually visit strip clubs when I know they are going to be slow (love the day after Valentine's!), and if the weather is ATROCIOUS, then I make sure to go out. Many times I've been one of only two or three guys in the whole club, and sometimes I even had the place all to myself.

    I always say that a stripper should treat every customer as if he were going to hit the lottery TOMORROW.

    Good advice!! I believe in karma anyways so I always try and treat everyone with respect and not like an ATM.

    I was always wondering about those guys who always come in on the slow nights. Now I know. It makes perfect sense!

    Finally, after two slow nights in a row, I had a bangin night last night. It really does all even out. Just have to stick it out and keep moving. At the beginning of the night, I kept getting a lot of nos and was almost letting it get me down. Then I grabbed ahold of myself and decided to keep pushing.

    What's funny is as soon as the house mom kicked me out of the dressing room, I got three champagne rooms back to back. I told house mom that she could kick me out of the dressing room anytime she liked!!!

    I want to know the secret of the girls who are always in the champagne room or have the high rollers consistently spend lots and lots of money on them. I have shoulder length blonde hair. I am starting to think I need longer hair for this job...
