The other night, about one third of my money was made from tips given to me at the end of dances.
It worked really well, primarily because one table bought dances just from me. People bought dances for the birthday boy and for each other -- therefore, only a couple of guys actually paid for the dance themselves. That meant that they already went into the dance room "for free", in their own perception. After the dance I commented, "Well ___ covered that cost but if you would like to tip for such a sexy dance, I would love it!" Also, I didn't just dance... "Before we head back out to the floor, if you enjoyed our conversation/your scalp massage, I'd love a tip!"
The birthday boy grabbed my tit at the end of our dances, when I was getting up to get dressed. I nearly twisted his wrist off, since I'd told him already that he couldn't touch. "You had better give me a big tip" I snapped... he gave me a $50. "is this good enough?" hell yeah, especially since he bought dances for his friends too (no mileage for them but I still got tipped on every dance.)
Later on that night I sold some dances to a guy in vip. After a few dances I sold him a scalp massage in VIP too for $10 (it's $20 for a dance) and at that point he was used to tipping me and asked for five bucks back.
I'm not sure if it works under all circumstances, but I found that the other night, being consistent about asking for tips and also giving dances where I KNOW I deserve tips, signficantly increased my income. I'm basically giving $25 dances instead.
Guys don't always tip, of course... sometimes I say "$20 minimum, but if you thought that was as sexy as I did, then I would love a tip!" and they'll smile and give me a $20 and walk off. That's cool too. But getting into the habit has helped a lot, especially in a wannadance club.
