    Distraction Close?

    Found this on changingminds.org and thought it was interesting:

    Deliberately distract them or wait for a moment when they are distracted by something else, such as the kids playing up, a phone going or something like that. In other words, catch them in a weak moment when their minds are elsewhere. Then press for the close. Ask directly for the sale. Give them the contract to sign.

    I wonder if this might work, say, when the waitress comes around with drinks and collects money...

    waitress: "That'll be $13.50."
    me, while he's counting out the coin: "Let's take these back and enjoy them in the VIP room, okay?"

    I might try it tomorrow night...

    Well I hope you get him to pay first since he is counting his coins.

    This is an extremely risky technique and I wouldn't suggest it for selling dances. The reason is that it often causes buyers remourse very quickly so while you may catch your customer in an off-moment and sell him one dance, you chances of repeat sales will diminish very quickly.

    As a customer, I have the same reaction as DW. A lot of sales techniques like assumptive close are actually kind of fun from the customer perspective. Being seduced by a sexy dancer is enjoyable, and if she is really good at the selling game -- connecting with body language, showing she knows how to push some buttons -- it injects a real spark.

    But this technique isn't part of that game, and just smells bad. It is the most fun for me to say yes when I am totally focused on the dancer. I would probably be more likely to say no to this one, because closing while I am counting change makes it seems more like business.

    DW is right. The business of selling is about building rapport. If a guy feels hustled, he will likely feel buyers remorse.

    Selling dances is like selling cars. We are just like car salespeople, like it or not. The test drive of a car serves the same purpose as stimulating conversation, or a dollar dance. Get the customer to like the car, and then ask him if he would like to take the car home tonight if we could make a deal.

    How would a customer feel if he walked off the lot after test driving a car, and woke up to find that same car in his driveway with a contract for him to sign underneath his door?

    Same with the strip club customer. Every guy IS NOT VIP material. He has to like the dancer just like he enjoys his test drive. If the connection is made, then go for the sale.

    Strip clubs are getting slower and slower nowadays because their is too much of a fleece the customer attitude from desperate dancers and greedy management.

    How would you feel Dottie Rebel, if you were the customer, and the dancer you were sitting with grabbed your drink and hustled you into the high priced VIP area?

    I can see the value in this close, however. I think there are a couple of SPECIFIC instances wehre it would work.

    The first one is, when a guy is being resistent jsut for the hell of it, or trying to dick you around to get a free convo out of you. So when his buddy is trying to get his attention or when the bartender is after him to buy another, his line of bullshit had been inturrupted. That is a good time to refucus the interaction on what you want, like a dance. This is a customer I would not have been able to sell anyway, but if I can just get into his personal space and get him to focus on me, I know I will make him happy.

    The other instance is when another dancer comes along and attempts to make a distraction. Rather than try to braeak up her hustle, you cold let the enviornment do it for you, then snatch his attention back at that weak moment. Again, this is a sale I would lose anyway, so it is wirth a shot. I will have to think abut how to apply that in a proctical manner.

    Tina: VIP room is $20 a song. Just a lapdance room, basically. Not a champagne room or something like that.

    I meant pretty much exactly what Colleen said, although I realize I didn't specify. I was basically taking about that customer who just wants to buy you drinks and suck up your time. I thought this could be a way to get him buying lapdances, since he probably doesn't usually. Who cares if that custy gets buyer's remorse? You weren't going to make the sale anyway. Now, a customer I getting along with very well and can tell he has regular-potential, I'd never do this.

    Oh, and I'd never grab a guy's drink and start to take off with it! All I meant was coyly suggesting, "Hey, lets take this part elsewhere!" I see this as no different from the often-suggested "Let's go get a dance...right now!" assumptive sales technique. The only different is the timing.
