    Default how much of your income is provided by regulars?

    I am curious to know how much of your income is provided by regulars?

    I was thinking about it and I think more than half my income is provided by regulars which concerns me because as we all know they have an expiry date.

    I have also noticed myself getting very lazy and not hustling because I am expecting a regular to come in. I know I need to change this.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    I have developed pretty steady regs, but i still make a good amount off of other people.
    I also have "broken up" with a BIG $pending regular recently, because he really thinks we will date. and he went all psycho. not ok.

    there are also a few regs i have that i'd consider more friends than regs, friends who enjoy my nekkidness on top of them. heh.

    but yea. 1/4.

    Love it!

    I could count my regs on one hand and they're spread out all across the country. So it's close to none.

    At the moment, none. I actually don't mind regs and miss having them (even if they do have an expiry date and all that)... i knew how to handle them.

    My trouble was that I havn't been regular for longer than several months at any one place at the moment... and now that there has been some changes to my home club.. i'm trying to figure out which nights to work again etc.

    I just havn't been able to 'stay' at any one club for a decent length of time in order to make any regular customers

    At the moment, I actually have no regs. The one I did have though supplemented about 70% of my income though. It's a very, very, very hard pill to swallow since I've dumped him.

    I'd say like 5%, but that wasn't an option, so I chose none. And by regular, I don't mean someone I've danced for before, but someone that comes in there for the sole purpose of giving me and only me money.

    I picked 1/4. I have some but most of my money is made off of guys I meet by chance. Sucks for me because I work at a club that is really focused on regulars.

    I've never really had many regulars.

    I get guys that will come in to see me and only me, while they are in town for a few days but I still don't count them as regulars, cuz it's not consistent.

    I've only had one guy, in the past year that comes into town regularly and sees me and only me every time he's here. He was great but I think he's hitting his expiration date.

    So I voted none. Even though he ( did ) contribute significantly to my income, if he wasn't there I would be making money from some other random.

    im not voting because it changes. sometimes this guy comes in every week, sometimes every other week. that changes the percentage of my income, since i make about the same from him every time he comes.

    I voted none.

    edited to elaborate...
    Any customer that has wanted to become a regular of mine wanted
    a) sex
    b) to go outside of the club for dinner, coffee, club dancing, vacations etc.
    c) a drinking partner
    d) a therapist

    I refuse to do any of the above so customers refuse to become my regular. I am waiting for that customer to come along that will be happy to pay me regularily for lap and stage dances and the pleasure of my company. alas I have found no customer like this...ever.

    I chose 25% because i think it is closest to reality. I define regulars loosely as guys that I have established some sort of relationship with where they spend the majority of their money on me when they come in, regardless of how constant or often they come. I only really have a couple true loyal regulars that come in regularly to spend money on just me.

    I have no regulars. I work in a tourist city, 99.9% of our customers are from out of town and mostly from out of state, so I see 'em for one night only(fine with me!). We have one regular that comes in a few nights a week, but he never spends money on anyone, never even tips, so I avoid him like the plague.

    ^^
    that's not a regular, that's a non-spending club regular and you are wise to avoid him

    My regular has started spending a lot more than he used to lately and it's really causing me to be lazy. I know I can charge him for an hour of my time to sit and chat (we dont have CR or VIP at my club so money is made just by selling dances on the floor) and this makes me very lazy to go and try to hustle guys I dont know.

    My friend told me the other night that I better stop relying on him so much because one day when he is gone I am not going to know how to hustle anymore. She is so right except I dont think I have ever known how to hustle
    Im quite shamelessly a wanna dance girl.

    I voted 1/4 but i should have voted none.

    I have only one person i'd call a regular...he's followed me around clubs since i started but he's not at all a large percentage of my consistent income but i know i can call on him whether he comes in the club or not for a chunk of $$$ if needs be...I used to have about 4 regulars yeeeaaaaarrs ago but it got too tiring b/c they wanted to talk to me waaaaayyy too much during my otc time. It was nice to know, though, that i didn't have to hustle so hard...i just had to call and let them know what days i'd be there...

    I am putting a prayer out for a small handful of regs WHO GET IT GOSH DARN IT!

    I voted 3/4. Of course I'm a day girl, I've been at the same club for years, and I work a very regular schedule. Business has been slow but thanks to my regs, my income remains steady. Plus, you know they're not cops, they know my limits, I know how much I'll get..I'm happy that the majority of my money comes from regs. True, some fizzle away, which is why if I like a new guy I'll try to reel him in.

    I voted 1/4. Of course that only my club income, not my whole income. I have a cpl regs that I bank off of when they come in...but they dont come in all the time so....


    I def. get regs by playing therapist though. Hell...with some of these guys..I have so much inside info on them I could blackmail myself into early retirement! It's amazing what a naked chick with a psych degree can get out of guys!!LOL!

    Some of the regs I have I've had for years...they followed me from club to club... came back to me after I took an 8-month break....one recently came back to me after I hadnt seen him in 3 years!(he got a girlfriend and stopped going to clubs)

    So I guess I'm doing something right!

    I didn't see 1/3 on the survey so I answered 1/4. About 1/3 of my income is from regulars.

    I agree with that. I have about 5 true regs. Two are good for a couple hundred a week, two are good for a substantial amount about once a month, and one makes a 1/4 of my income alone .

    But you know, I don't deal with guys who don't spend, or who piss me off...and also I've proven to myself that when no regs come in, I can still hustle, so I'm not worried about it.

    It's a good feeling though, when you're struggling, and a familiar face walks in with that big dollar sign over his head!

    I HAD 2 really awesome ones, but they both ended up falling like, madly in love with me. One started seeing a shrink and is a little bit better, he still comes into my club but I will not sit with him anymore, for his sake. He was coming in 3-4 times a week and dropping 3-400 on me each time for about 5 months, plus assorted gifts, paying rent, etc. The other one I had "fell in love" with me, but mostly I think he's just crazy. He was coming in like twice a week for maybe 3 months and gave me anywhere from 4-1000 a pop. That dude, crazy as he may be, paid my tuition (wrote me a check for it, I mean).

    Ugh, but boy are they a headache. Crazy #2 actually came in tonight and gave me $$$.

    So right about now I would say they comprise of maybe 2% of my income. I think I'm done with regulars, not worth the bullshit/creepy factor.
