Alrighty did you Limit the Options?

If you did then good for you. That is a way to weed out custies that hem and haw and waste your time.

For any nay-sayers limiting the options this is standard business practice for sales and other industries. 20% of your customers are going to give you the majority of your income. No need to mess around with customers who are not serious about purchasing.

What do you do when you get customers who are interested and loyal? Expand their choices of course.

If they are spending money practically give them the world (within reason of course.)

Choices you can offer:

Hourly rate (If your club allows or the law allows it.)

Discount on multiple dances – I wouldn’t suggest going below the posted price but if you are able to up sell come down a little bit when a custy is respectful and spending money.

Add them to your address book – Text, email or call and chat now and then. You can get a separate pre-paid phone for this or a free online 800 voice-mail. This is especially good if you travel.

Get a little closer - Those who spend and tip well get treated well. There is nothing worse that giving you’re all to someone who expects a lot of attention for very little money. Don’t hope that they spend money because you went over the top for them. It should be the other way around. The money does the talking. Be firm in telling your customers that the dances get better the more that they spend. If they don’t like this policy it’s okay to move on. High maintenence is fine but you have to be paid for it.

Ask the DJ to skip your stage (if possible) – Once on a slow night a new DJ put me up on stage twice while I was dancing with the same customer! Not every club allows this and some clubs and or managers don’t mind if it is not a regular occurrence. Give your regulars undivided attention and let them know you pulled some strings for them to ensure they have fun.

I say sales because that is what we do, we sell pleasure and sensuality.

During a so-called recession people like to be a little more selective and stretch their dollar. No harm in that, but that is only if you let them.

Don’t let them. Initially any way.

If you do not take their money someone else will whether it is another dancer, his bank, his wife, ex wife or kids, the golf course whatever.

When customers are presented with too many choices they will hem and haw, stall, and tell you come back later.

The newbie dancer doesn’t know that she should be able to get a dance right away. When a customer says come back later generally you shouldn’t.

That is giving a person too many options: They can sit and watch, they can talk to their friends, they can dance with you, or they can sit and talk with you, they can watch the show, they can go smoke a cigarette, or you can come back later.

Here are the only two options you should ever give a customer: A table or couch dance or the V.I.P.

If you have been sitting for a few songs (or more God forbid) and they tell you to come on back later, the chances of them buying a dance are close to zero. DON’T PLAY THEIR GAME.

It sounds innocent enough. They just walked in, they want to relax, they want to catch up with their buddies, sip their drink, watch the girls blah blah blah.

All those are, are excuses.

Girls who really know how to hustle can get a dance even when a guy walks in the door, surrounded by his peers and even after he has said no a few times.

If you have been dancing for awhile and keep hearing “come on back later.” it’s time to step up and not return. Tell them “Maybe some other time night.”

If you keep going back to them – all you will do is keep going back!

Limit the options on the initial meeting, and if more girls learn this the less and less you will hear it. If you’re a veteran lead by example and if you don’t already do it, try it.

For me on those crazy slow nights as of late I stuck to the plan – ONLY ASK A CUSTOMER ONCE. It worked. I still made money because I was not wearing myself down and wasting time on indecisive people.
