    Default 'maybe later'....

    how do you deal with 'maybe later'?

    thing is our club is in a bit of a lull at the moment, so the guy says maybe later when he is like one of three guys in the club? so i cant make out im massively busy and popular and he is sitting there getting free stage shows?

    also i tried the whole situiation where they say im here for a beer and to watch

    iv tried saying the suggested - 'paying extra for your beer blah blah ' , ' restaurant look at menu not ordering blah blah'

    but when i say - so you like paying and extra pound or two and so on...they say

    'well yeah if i get to watch topless women dance up there id pay and extra pound on top of my beer price' -

    i mean....wha the fuck do i do then?

    Go to a different club with more customers!!! If there's only 3 customers in there and they're doing that, how are you going to make money? The only thing you girls could do is refuse to dance out there or refuse to remove your tops if the losers aren't paying for it. Those are really your two options or choose to stay there and deal with it. Sorry, that sucks!!! Stupid cheapa$$e$!!!

    Yes, I would find a new club. You can't even cover travel costs with 2 customers. But just smile and ignore him! Spend the time with the other guys.

    You sound like youre in Europe. Is there always small amounts of customers in the club?

    hiya

    well yeah recently there have been very very few guys in. friday was a great night, purely because of a boxing match that happened and everyone came in after. but that happens once a year...! i think i'll take your advice and check out a new club.

    i've gotten increasingly tired of the "maybe later" line. i usually make some comment about how they can just say no.

    Many clubs do a POOR job of creating momentum. They don't have a DJ who keeps the crowd pepped up, and have the girls trained to constantly approach the guys for dances.

    If guys go in a club and don't see other guys tipping and buying dances CONSTANTLY, they won't either.

    I would scope out other clubs where ALL the girls are approaching guys for dances EVERY song, where the DJ is helping push the crowd CONSTANTLY, and where you have more customers than dancers most of the time.

    Guys do what they see everyone else doing. Monkey see, monkey do. No one wants to be the only one getting a dance, right?

    but penny, 9 times out of 10 i will return to those guys (usually one leaves because his maybe meant no) and remind them in a bubbly and polite way that they told me to come back and here i am! and how i was waiting to have some good fun with them, and of those 9 it works on more than half, i'd say 5-6 of them, so really, 50-60% of maybe laters turning into yeses is pretty good.

    they dont all mean no. they do mean, many times, a genuine "how about a little later as i am just not ready yet."

    Love it!

    I think there's "maybe later" and "can you come back later?"

    I think the former implies "I might change my mind", but the latter really means he wants you to come back.

    true, but i always tell them they told me to come back later (because really, the word that stands out is "later") and it seems to work.

    If guys go in a club and don't see other guys tipping and buying dances CONSTANTLY, they won't either.
    Oh how TRUE this is no matter how many patrons are within the club. Remember, they are patrons until they have spent something on the dancers in the club via the stage or private/lap dances (not because they paid entry fee to be there).

    This is the main problem with the club I work within every so often (I mainly am a showgirl and just to the stage shows both in the pubs and within the club not really do private dances in the club) up in Darwin. NO MOMENTUM !!

    Plus the guys are just so used to being able to pay cover then have the girls just hang around them for ages. I do mean ages. I've seen girls hang around with a table (be it one or many guys) for over half an hour because of the lack of momentum.

    I really wish this club would bring in tipping dollars and promote it. I've tried many times bringing this up with them about how their revenue will increase as well not just being a great way to advertise (people sometimes keep some of the tipping dollars as a momento and/or pass them onto friends).

    Anyway, you do need more patrons to turn into customers before you have any chance to make any real money.

    Otherwise, as has been said before in this section of the board, do treat a maybe later as a serious maybe later. Check back on the patron another two times with at least a 4-5 song break between times of checking in with him.

    I use a "three strikes you're out" rule with the maybe later guys. The first strike is in the inital and first maybe later... the second with the second maybe later and if I have time/the inclination to check back a third time... a third maybe later means I just walk away for good:

    Well {name} I really hope you have been and continue to have a great night. If you would love to have a fun erotic time with me then just look out for me.


    *** ALWAYS TRY TO REMEMBER THEIR NAME! This is most important. Use it.

    Guys are used to saying "maybe later" and girls walking away. It their polite way of saying no. So, if the club is slow, have a good response to use on them. I usually tell them that I'm not going to prettier later, but I did notice that there's some $$$ in their wallet with my name on it, and I wouldn't want them to accidentally spend it while I'm gone. I know they'd feel horrible about it in the morning. It is corny, but it works for me. If they have just gotten to the club and I approach them and get this line, I give them my name and invite them up to my stage. If they don't get dances right away, at least I usually get some $$$ out of them on the tip rail.

    I think it would be really funny if a "maybe later guy" approached YOU later asking for a dance, then you could throw it right back in his face. lol.

    Whenever a guy says "maybe later" or "not right now" I always say.. "Okay, sure, you want to drink and hang out for a bit, well my name is 'so and so', I'll swing back by in a few...have fun! *some form of bodily contact here*"

    When I do come back, they remember me, and because I didn't have an attitude or get mad because they didn't want me right then and there, I can more often than not get a few dances out of them. When I go back I say "Hey! You're still here! Fantastic! So let's have some fun!" As if I thought they had been sitting there waiting for me the whole time. I'd say 70% of the time that works....

    I'd have to say for those "maybe later's" I RARELY come back because luckily I don't have time. For me, it's now or never and I basically make it that way with them. Seriously, I really think the maybe later's are polite way's of saying no, so that's why I rarely will check back on them. If the club is slow, then I'll check back on them and give them 1 other chance, if they pull that on me again, I ignore them and by ignoring them, sometimes they approach me on stage and ask for a dance, usually by then, I'm busy and I usually don't have a chance to dance for them. That's when I say to them "You should have taken the dance when you had the opportunity" and they always "I know, blah, blah", dumb guys!!!!

    When a guys says maybe later to me, I giggle and tell him "ok, if you can catch me later", and bounce off to the next dude. Sometimes they'll chase me down later or flag me down. Cool. Otherwise, I chalk it up to he wasn't interested and work other guys. There's always others

    If he says something like, "I just got here and need to warm up first, but you're cute so please come back in a little while" then I'll get back to him if I'm not busy elsewhere.

    if a dude tells me maybe later, I tell him I always get caught up doing many dances for others, so he probably won't catch me again.

    And it's true, I do, and I always see them eyeballing me over other dudes. lol

    Hehe..I've totally done this!!!! I had asked him for a dance 5 min after he got in, but it was busy, so I was just hopping around. About a half an hour later he stopped me (I was on my way up to the stage) and I told him, "Maybe in a little bit, if I get a chance before I leave". He was slightly rude before, so I didn't go back. But as I walked by him to tip the DJ out, I winked at him and gave him a litlle flutter-fingered wave. Hahaha, little did he know I was seriously in demand that night, o well

    Hehe hey babydolly

    I would say I only sell like maybe 1 out of 10 of the maybe laters--And more often than not it's THEM who come back up to ME asking for a dance. I think the best way to handle it is just to be as nice as shit when they say it. I say "Okay. Well I'm Zoe, so if you change your mind--Just scream really loud across the bar". And it puts them at ease for saying no... Which makes it easier for them to say yes later

    Perfect. From a customer, "maybe later" means no. The worst way to convert a "no" to a "yes" is to show any attitude toward the no. The best way to convert a "no" to a "yes" is to show that, oh well, you're the kind of fun care-free girl it would be fun to get a dance with.
