    Default Getting back into it...

    Okay so girls I need some motivation!!!

    Now that im stepping back to being a show girl I have to do 'floor time'. Which means I have to go out on the floor between shows and sell tickets and private shows. Tickets are just a roll of 10 or 15 tickets(depends on the club) and you sell each ticket for $2 you keep x amount and the club gets the rest(usually $5 or $10 depending on the club). When you sell your strip of tickets the DJ calls a number and whatever ticket number is called gets a 'free show' (note you still make what you would make for selling a regular show its just an easier way of selling shows).

    Anyway my problem is... im scared shitless to go talk to someone I used to be a pretty good hustler when I was a full time table dancer. Now though since I know im getting my show pay for the night I have no motivation to go up and talk to anyone. I look around the bar and see all these guys who I should be talking to but I just can't seem to go up to them. I've become a very anti-social princess since I started featuring.

    I don't know what it is... I just can't seem to bring myself to go talk to customers. I feel like they wouldn't want to talk to me... never mind I have no idea how to approach them anymore.

    Tickets are easy to do because I just walk around asking guys if they want to buy a ticket... its a super easy ice breaker. Problem is not all bars have tickets so im stuck trying to sell a $30 or $40 dance which means I need to do some talking.

    I've read hustle hut and all that jazz but its not working for me Its not my hustle.. I have a great hustle... its just getting over that damn approaching guys barrier thing I have going on. Sadly I can't do the 'stand in a corner and wait for them to come to me' that i've played working in Toronto... it just doesn't work here at all, guys don't approach girls here. Blah.

    I had the mental block for awhile, I SO understand...but the hustle comes back, no worries. You just have to (painfully) push yourself past that first hurdle.

    Set your goals low to begin with. All you really need to do (esp with tickets) is go up, look cute, and say "want a ticket"? DON'T spend too much time with them, it's essentially cockblocking to chat when you're selling tickets.

    The upsell should always happen when a guy wins a ticket dance...he spent $2 and got a dance, yeah he can spend another $20 and get 2.

    Yea I have no problem with tickets. I can sell tons of them no prob.

    Im working the Gents a lot now though for floor time and they ditched their tickets, its strictly $30 private stage shows or $40 lap dances and the regular girls there are fairly high contact(for princess me who hates a guy even breathing on me now.. damn what a change from the high contact I used to be okay with lol) so its intimidating for me.

    Also I wanna perfect this for when I hit BC where I know selling dances is going to be hard.

    Can I get away with tickets at any of the clubs im booked at in BC?

    Nope, no tickets in BC.

    Gents' is a hard place to sell dances.

    I think the best way to start is with a round of 'wanna dance?' (ok, a bit more charming, but not sit-down convo). Eventually, someone will take, and you can then go off that momentum.

    Ewwww.....lapdances at Gents? He ruined Winnipeg and he sucks.

    And that's illegal.

    Other the that, I have no advice. I just sold tickets when I had to and the only time I did a private show otherwise was if someone approached me after a stage.

    No no no Kitty... TEASERS ruined Winnipeg.

    At least at the Gents they left lap dancing as optional and they still want it low contact(though the girls severely push the limits bleh). At Teasers they push the room 101 issue big time *grumbles*

    Winnipeg used to be good.... its gone to hell in the last year

    The 'private room'. They took one of the hotel rooms and made it a room for private shows. I can't remember the price for it but its just super nasty... i've seen some shit that made me sick... and consider what i've seen in Toronto

    Ew! Hotel room! That's like the No5 Orange in Van...ack.

    lol @ 'room 101' though...it sounds so...something. It would be easy to sell. "Wanna try out Room 101?"

    Hey Cally, well, from what I've done, I look for the guys who look laid back, or kind. I know it sounds stupid, but I really don't approach the young university students because all I think is that they want the "Barbie". Which is what I am NOT! So, I just walk up to a guy, usually older, or slightly on the non-attractive side, and sitting alone. I sit beside them and ask "Are you having fun tonight?" If they say yes, I'll ask, "Well, let's keep that going!" If they say, meh, not really, I say "How about I make it more fun for you?" Usually then, they ask what that means, and I say I can show him the back and make him forget his blah day. That normally works for me.
