    Beginning of My Shift

    Ok, so I have been dancing for about a month now, and I really like it. I have fun at work , make pretty good money, and am generally content.

    But one thing that I still have a problem with is the very beginning of my shift, particularly my happy hour shifts. When I get there, it is pretty slow, and I get nervous, or maybe I get lazy. But I feel weird trying to "work" a room of like 6-8 guys when there are 5 girls there, and a few of the guys are talking to each other or the bartender or somehting.

    I was jsut wondering if anyone else has ever had this type of hangup, and how you"fixed" it? Any ice-breaking ideas?

    Do you guys have a VIP? If the custies seem kinda bored that it is so dead, ask them if they wanna have some more fun in the VIP where they will have your undivided attention and a LOT more fun. Its a lot easier getting guys to spend more if they seem bored.
    But yeah thats kind of tough for all of the dancers, not just you. You ever wonder why the house fees go up the later it gets at night? That would be why.

    Maybe it's because I worked retail for so long, but approaching customers is never a thing for me. I mean they are coming to my work, I'm working and it is my job to be an entertainer for them. So you can just do the same sort of thing you'd do at a retail job - greet them when they come in and if they're seated you can ask if they're having a good time, or if they'd like company.

    It is easy to approach the ones who tip you also. You can just thank them for the tip and you also know they're already interested in you.

    Not the best advice...but I'm sleepy.

    Always hustle the first few guys. Nobody talks to them just because they're the only ones there. I get to work early and by the time everyone else shows up I've already got a couple hundred. They're lonely and more likely to get a dance with the first girl that asks. Just try.

    ^Exactly.
    I love to be the first night girl to arrive. The guys are used to seeing the same day girls, and then wham, all the sudden here is someone new, all freshly made up.
    Try to get on stage as soon as possible, and then go to the guys that tip you, after that going to the other guys.
    Many of them are just stopping in on their way home and want to get a quick couple of dances before they have to go home. Use these guys to your advantage. They will at least warm you up for later.

    I agree with what the last two girls have said. I love getting there early. I find that those guys are there to buy dances rather than just sit around with their buddies (which happens a lot the later it gets). I usually make my first $200 before 8:00, then the rest of the night is a breeze.

    Thanks, guys I guess I just feel akward because nobody is getting dances, so for some reason I think they don't want dances. Last night I asked if I could go up on stage as soon as I got there, I think that works for me. Then I have something to do right away, get warmed up, and see if anyone pays particular attention to me.

    No, we don't have VIP. I wish we did, then when it's slow you wouldn't feewl so out in the open when everyone else is sitting down, staring....

    Yeah, getting up on stage is certainly a good idea. If you know they're going to put you up, you may want to do a quick walk around the floor. Since you say there are only about 8 guys there it wouldn't take long to say a quick "hello" to each of them. As you leave you can say something like, "Well I'm going to be up on stage soon. Feel free to come on up and say 'hello'." Invite them to the stage. Then you see who takes you up on the offer and go target them for additional dances once you get off stage.

    I am one of the few/first dancers out on the floor and usually there are some guys coming in, they get a drink and sit down. No one has to go up on the stage until later on- so they just sit there. Usually these are the guys who want a dance or VIP and leave before the crowd comes in. I can't tell you how many times I just sat there while another dancer goes over to them then they walk off to the VIP and I'm kicking myself.
    Just go up to them and give it a shot. I was hesitant at first- but had to get over that real quick. It's great feeling to make tip-out BEFORE the club gets packed.

    Okay... Im the last one to talk about hustling because im lazy lol.

    But yea I do have a hustle when I wanna use it.

    The best thing you can do is come into work already ready to hit the floor.. the more time you spend in the changing room getting ready the lazier you will get. So have your hair/makeup already done so you just walk in, get changed and hit the floor. Do NOT I mean DO NOT sit in the changing room and talk to the other girls because hearing them bitch about the guys not spending will bring you down as well. Also ignore the 'there is no money out there' bitching because there is ALWAYS money on the floor.

    Walk out, pick the one lonely looking guy, walk up to him smiling and introduce yourself and ask if he minds that you sit. Chat him up, ask him how his day is going and just be really interested in him. Most guys who come in during the afternoon shift are just guys who are lonely and want female attention. The reason they are all sitting there looking lonely and depressed is because they are and the girls who are there are just to stuck on themselves to go talk to them. I find a lot of girls who work day shift have a hard time getting motivated because its not as busy and high hustle and energetic, the blah atmosphere tends to bring everyone down.

    So yea just be friendly and dont spend time talking to other girls and standing around twiddling your thumbs, just go n git r done

    (and as I said im one to talk because im brutal for standing around and waiting for guys to come to me but when I do get in hustle mode im none stop.)

    Bravo post! I totally agree! And also, guys actually do get annoyed if no one ever asks them for dances! I have seen guys leave my club because no one ever approached them for a dance. I know sometimes it seems like hustling, but most of the time they do want to be asked - that is why they are there! It is hard for them to resist a half-naked woman; especially when they have been looking at the same day girls over and over. I find that I have excellent luck during the very beginning of the night shift because often the guys will say, "Where have YOU been all day?!?" - LOL!

    Yes more chances then none that the guys who are there have not been asked yet, so you are not annoying them by asking them. The rare time I do get off my ass and hustle the guys are always like 'damn i've been here all day and no one has asked me yet, lets go'. So that $100 he was saving for Porche is now mine because she didnt go say hi.

    Also girls remember when a guy tips you on stage be sure to go thank him after and chat him up for a second. The most common complaint I hear is 'I tipped Apple $5 on stage and asked her to come see me after and she just went straight to the changing room'. what are you girls thinking?! I am so sick of hearing girls bitch there is no money, because the ones who bitch are the ones who are not trying, and they're the ones who spend all night twiddling their thumbs in the changing room.

    Yep...I don't spend a lot of time in there. I do go in after I get off stage, b/c I need to put my top back on, or change outfits quick. I usually put my top back on was my hads, brush the hair quick, body spray, just touch up a little. But I am never in there even for a whole song, like 2 min max. It's crazy b/c most of the time the girl that was on BEFORE me is still in there, 10 minutes after she got off stage, chatting on the cell phone, sitting next to the sink, I think right after I get off is the best time for selling dances, I'm all revved up and fresh in their minds.

    Also remember just because there are 3 guys in the bar doesnt mean there is no money. My best ever money night was a night there were 5 guys and 20 girls... believe it or not I was the *ONLY* girl working the floor... I got all 5 guys for dances.. I cleaned house that night, yep my first ever $1000 night.
