    Default My Basic Training *hustle it up*

    What I've learned during this slow season...that I really hadn't realized during the busy season:

    The Weekend Hustle:

    *be persistent, and take yes as your only answer (visualize YES in your head when you ask for a dance)

    *sell your booths before your table dances, don't give them the option of a table dance...I did this all the time during the busy season because I was bold, but forgot this important bit of knowledge when I lost my self confidence during the slow bitter winter season...

    *Smile, match, be a lady

    *Think, but not TOO much, don't over analyze yourself (Confidence is key)

    *Dance your butt off!

    (My manager had the kind heart to remind me of the above last night when I was fustrated with work and life in general...)

    The Weekday Hustle:

    *get to know your customer, ask a lot about them...usually they've had a hard day at work and need to decompress

    *still be persistant, and sell them booths

    *Smile, match, be a lady


    I've found that weekday hustles always take more out of me than weekend hustles, sheerly bc you are giving more mental energy...but weekends are harder on the body...mwhahaha!

    I think it's so important to stress the difference in a weekday/weekend hustle.

    I see many girls struggle, b/c they're only good at one, not both.

    If you are good at only one, capatilize on it. I'm somewhat better at a weekend hustle, just a little. Mostly I feel more comfortable when I'm always busy, so I try to work both friday and saturday. But I also do monday and sometimes wednesday, b/c Im good then too, I just prefer weekends.

    Bridgette, who only likes to work at a very busy club works where it is almost always busy, weeken like, I'd bet. Tina, on the other hand, works smaller clubs that book girls, more of a weekday enviroment in my mind. They have opposite ideal working enviroments, but they've both capatilized on it by finding places where the majority of the time, it fits into their respective ideals.

    (Tina and Bridgette, I hope you don't mind me using you for examples. You too are the most recognizable for something like that...)

    ^^Well said. One of the best things you can do for yourself as a stripper is figure out your best assets and skills, and capitalize on them! Work where YOU do your best.

    I despise slow clubs - I get bored, I hate having to sit around and wait ferfuckenever for customers to show up, and I cannot stand having to sit and chat and "convince" for ages on the *hope* of getting a damn dance and that he'll make it worth my while. Gimme a busy club where I can bounce around all night and I'm happy. It doesn't have to be crazy busy all the time (overkill), but it needs to have decent turnaround and a steady flow of customers. So I simply will not work in slow clubs.

    I agree with OP that it's best to sell the better options instead of the cheapest whether it's slow or not. Why work even HARDER for the money when you're already dealing with slower business?

    In my experience, keeping yourself in the "busy" mindframe even when it's slow is best for your bottom line

    Bridgette I need some advise from you! I work better when it's busy BUT only once I start getting dances coz then I seem to get some sort of momentum and every time I finish a dance I have another customer waiting for me.

    But as for how to get started? last night my club was packed and a lot of dancers (including me) were standing around overwhelmed and we didn't know where to start, who to approach?
    How do you deal with this?
    I'm not used to it being so busy at the start of the night and there were a lot of groups in there so I ended up going up to groups of guys in pairs with other dancers but I find you often get all the smart arses when u do this.
    How do you know who to approach? How do you not get overwhelmed?

    I look at that kind of environment as a good thing: MORE TARGETS TO PICK FROM!! Remember, the girls are in short supply on nights like that so you have the upperhand. When it's that busy you don't have to worry so much about who to approach, just walk around and do your usual sexy thing, and approach the first one you catch ogling you. Approaching groups, you kinda have to go up like you're the queen shit and sell them all OR focus totally on the one you can tell likes you.

    If you get turned down, ehh so what?? There's 100+ others waiting and one WILL say yes. Go immediately to someone else. Don't waste any time chatting them up either; just approach, intro and superbrief smalltalk, then ask (most I'll do is a one-liner or two after the intros). It's a wannadance environment. Keep asking until you get a yes. Work the room by sections - if you've asked a few in one section with no luck, then go to another area and start asking them. This way you avoid that feeling that you "look like a reject" (you don't look like a reject, but we *think* we might and that hurts our hustle). Once you get your first yes, you're golden. I work on momentum too

    If the crowd is packed and hard to wade through, just keep thinking about all those folks as money. Literally, look around you as if each custy's head is a dollar sign. It will give you a whole new perspective on big crowds It also makes it easier to smile at guys when you're having a rough go - if you're looking at a dollar sign, you can smile at that right?

    For me, most important thing to remember is that with those numbers, YOU are the one in demand and therefore in control. Take no prisoners!!!


    Hehe, I LOVE nights like that. I walk out on the floor with a primitive warcry in my head. I want to see how many I can "spear" with my mojo, and that makes it really fun for me. Like the stripper version of Geronimo or something.

    Thanks Bridgette, I am going to try the dollar sign thing haha that really made me laugh out loud when I read that. Being in demand = being in control is an excellent way to look at it.

    I think on those busy nights I rely to heavily on being approached and when I'm not being approached I just look around like a deer in the headlights LOL.

    Yeah, the thing you can't do in that environment is stand around and wait. You will become invisible just because there's too many people. Everyone gets sensory overload. So you have to get moving and attack! They will see you more if you're moving around.

    Dollar signs. YOU are in control. Very short chat. Ask, ask, ask! Work the room in sections. Before you know it guys will be reaching out for your hand to ask for dances as you try to rush from one custy to another one you've got waiting


    If you use the dollar sign thing and find yourself giggling while trying to talk to a dollar sign, don't tell him why you're laughing if he asks. Make up something fun to say! Or just say "hey I'm not allowed to have fun?!" That not only stops the questioning but gets a positive response - that they want you to have fun too, blah blah.

    I look at them like the dollar signs ARE their heads, not dollars on their heads. So I can look at their faces but I see dollar signs. hehe

    It's easy to smile at dollars, and it's easy to approach dollars, right? heee

    I love that, guys as $$$!!!

    I love that feeling of momentum, where you dance every song for a different guy, one dance to the next. dance, collect, dance, collect.

    I like working hard lke that, dancing every song. I don't get bored, have to chat.... any of the bs. just dance and collect. that's my busy night motto. it works very much like the $$ as the head idea.

    ^That's mainly why I do it If I'm standing in a roomful of $'s, I have NO problem diving in head first, so to speak. I'm not about to stand on the wall or at the bar or hide in the dressing room when the club is packed full of $'s. Ya know?

    At a champagne room club, I always sell a lapdance first. If you know within a minute or two that the guys going to do a CR, why not get a twenty before your big money? They add up. Even if the custy wants to go to the CR, I'll say, "let's start with a lapdance" and pretend I'm snobby-shy.

    Bridgette I think you are a stripper-shark. Stalk victim/customer, move in for the kill and chew till the bloods all gone then move to next target. Great tips as always.
