    Default Just when I thought I had an opp - I think my manager is trying to f*$# me

    Ok, I joined this bachelor party service thats supposed to be like #1, they're national and even had a write up in a major newspaper. So, I'm based in the midwest and I asked them when did he predict it would get busier. He told me that NY is always busy and I'm more than welcome to come there. Since I really need $, I discussed with him my potential traveling plans that were the most cost effecient.

    Now here is where it gets sketchy

    He sends me an email - from his PERSONAL email, not the agency based one, saying how he's so impressed with how much determination I have,, and that I'm more than welcome to say @ his home when I get there
    Then he sends me another talking about how he'd love to have me perform for him every night, although that might not be the case in NY
    I guess he thought this would flatter me, but now I'm fuckin shakin in my boots
    Then here's the kicker - he calls me last night after midnight. I was sleep, so when I listened t the message, it was like "Hi, just wanted to see how you were doing, give me a call" of course, on his personal line

    Now, this is getting very unprofessional in my opinion. And I'm pissed because I really thought this was a good company, but now I'm pissed and a little scared.

    Suggestions/comments ladies?

    Don't go to NY. He's obviously trying to fuck you and if you go it will only be a bad scene.

    It definitely sounds like this guy is trying to 'leverage' you. Unfortunately where NY is concerned that is an all too common occurrence because, to put it bluntly, nobody in NY associated with the entertainment industry ever seems to do ANYTHING out of the 'goodness of their heart' without expecting SOMETHING in return.

    Isn't that pretty much everywhere in this business?

    And, don't go!!! This isn't a business, it's some stupid asshole that puts an ad in the paper claiming to be a bachelor party business and then trys to lure women at his house so he's really the "only bachelor" and all the performing will be for him not some business that he's affiliated with. This sounds very dangerous if you ask me, you could get hurt, if he calls again tell him to never call you again, if he does, you can get his number blocked on your phone, I think it's *60.

    Yes, sometimes people in this business do things out of the goodness of their hearts. I train dancers to become good party performers. I get nothing for helping them become successful aside from having a trustworthy person to work with.

    Stay away from that guy. That is total bullshit. I work for an agency as a dancer as well as in the office doing sales and dispatch. I have offered to allow dancers to stay at my house, but never before meeting them first.

    If you wish to work with a good and reputable company, I recommend Hunks and Babes. We help out each other in a couple of different markets (so that both companies can keep their dancers and customers happier).

    You really need to be a self started when working with a national agency. You won't get much in the way of help when it comes to finding drivers or girls to partner with for the parties.

    Oh, and that agency is full of shit when they say they are slow. I've been turning down customers in just about every market. We have more customers than we have available dancers most weekends. If they aren't getting orders it is because they aren't trying or doing even the minimum amount of advertising. All you have to do is answer the phone when it rings. The product (sexy, naked people) sells itself.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    interesting. I was hired by H & B, and when I asked them to market me in chicago because my city was slow, the she had the nerve to tell me that they hardly ever get requests for black dancers, and i would be lucky to get an assignment every 6 months. I told her for that matter, to take me off their website. Don't know why they wasted their time to put me on the site in the first place.
