I work at a club where there is no set rate for CR or VIP. Customers pay a fee to the club to sit in the room, but if you want to get paid for your time, you have to negotiate it. I've gotten fairly good at this, but I still have some questions.
I'm not sure what to charge. In a way it's nice that there's no set rate, because that allows you to adjust your pricing according to the night and the customer. But then again, I'm really not sure what to ask for. I usually charge $100/hr, since this is about what I could make in an hour on a good night if I were busting my ass. I know this is less than customers pay for CRs in a lot of places, but then again, factor in the room fee, so he is paying between $125-150 for me+room. Also, I don't pay a cut to the club. I'm also just afraid that the guy will balk if I charge too much. I don't worry as much with out-of-town guys, since they may not even know that the club has no set rates, but anyone who has been there before knows that some girls don't even charge for their time.
I'm also not sure *when* to bring up the issue of what I want to be paid. I like to get the guy excited about the prospect of the room first -- how much fun it's going to be, or how quiet and intimate, or how we're going to get to know each other so much better, or what have you -- before I start naming hard figures. Usually the guy just gets right up and follows me without asking for a price, and then it's awkward once we get back there and I have to tell him that this is not going to be free. This part might be easier in a club with set rates that customers were familiar with, or if there were somebody who's job was to take the money. But this part is up to me, and I don't always know how to handle it.
