Stripper – Sales Class
Filed Under Stripper School | 13 Comments
School is in and today’s stripper tips blog post is on stripper sales.
Strippers are the best sales people in the world.
It has often been said that if you want to show someone how to become a good sales person, then take them to a strip club for the evening.
There is no place on earth where you can part with as much money as fast, that you had no intention on spending.
Stripper Sales Tips #1 – Give customers Something For Nothing
When you go into a strip club a stripper will approach you and charm you. She will do something to get you excited i.e. sit on your lap flatter you etc. What does the customer have to do in return, nothing. The customer gets a free sample as it were of the service that could follow. Your chances of falling for the bait and buying are significantly increased. The same thing happens a stripper dances on stage and makes eye contact, anything that offers a free sample.
Stripper Sales Tips #2 - Know your customers
Strippers ask open ended questions to get customers talking. Questions that will end with a customer saying yes or no are no good, strippers ask questions like ‘how has your day been today’ or something that will engage the customer and get them talking.
This allows the stripper to develop some rapport with that particular customer and tailor the sales pitch to fit the individual.
Stripper Sales Tips #3 - Tailor the Sales Pitch
There are many different types of sales approach that strippers make depending on what she thinks the person likes. For example ‘I like to get dirty’ or ‘my tits are real’ or ‘do like blondes’ etc. A good stripper will adjust herself and find a common ground based on the answers the customer gives based on her experience.
Stripper Sales Tips #4 – Sell An Outstanding Product or Service
The stripper knows she has to have a great product or provide an invaluable service. That’s why she keeps in tip top shape and learns how to be a great conversationalist. That way she has the absolute best product to work with.
Stripper Sales Tips #5 – Provide Excellent Customer Service
A good stripper understands she need to impress you on the first dance or the customer will not come back for repeat business. She knows that without this she cannot get to her ultimate destination – the up sell.
Stripper Sales Tips #6 -The Big Up sell
As with all great sales people, the stripper reels the customer in on a relatively cheap introduction sell for example a lap dance. Once the customer has had a taste she then markets her other srvices like the vip room where the money is at. Without the first small front lapdance sale this would have been much harder work. A good stripper understands that to find new customers takes time and effort, but to market to the customer that is already in front of you saves time and makes money.
Stripper Sales Tips #7 - Alwasys Be Closing (A.B.C.)
A stripper who makes great money is always closing. To do this she uses a variety of closing techniques. Like ‘come and have some private fun in the vip room where its more intimate’ or the ‘companion close’ which involves getting your buddies to encourage to take the lap dance.
Stripper Sales Tips #8 – Target A Niche Audience
Stripper know their market. They are always on the look out for spenders. Is someone ordering lots of drinks and paying for the rounds or have they left an open tab which indicates they are going to stay and spend. A good stripper knows which customers to go after and not waste her precious time with cheap asses.
Stripper Sales Tisp #9 – Persistence Pays
A good stripper knows no matter how great the worlds best baseball player is he will strike out a lot of the time and rejections are going to happen. Strippers understand the numbers game the more approaches she makes the more yes’s she gets.
Stripper Sales Tips #10 – Branding
Strippers are sales branding geniuses. I don’t think i’ve ever come accross any stripper called Molly or Ethel. You get the pleasure of being seen by Mercedes, Mona Lisa or Destiny.

Confused About The Stripping Industry?
.jpg)
Feeling lost and confused on how to break into the stripping industry?
or Already stripping and feeling frustrated that your not earning enough dollars? Then you're in the right place! Helpful Stripper Links
Cool!! this is all very important info alot of people probably never thought this industry was basically all about selling, Knowing the customers needs who’s spending money and who’s not. I can spot a baller out of a crowd of 300 men! I can appreciate you teaching and answering questions,
a customer’s point of view:
1) never approach a guy from behind. He wants to get a good look at you and fantasize a bit before he decides he likes you or not.
2) don’t rush a guy as soon as he arrives. He wants to look around and get the layout of the place, figure out the best place to sit, see what the girls look like, see if his favorites are there that night, have a drink first, maybe order something to eat and enjoy the stage show first, …
3) just because he rejects you the first time, don’t forget to stop by later. He might not have been ready yet or he realized he might like you afterall. He might have been waiting for the hot girl who was there last time or his first choice is fully occupied.
4) circulate. Don’t hang out in a corner with one guy or your girlfriends. There could be some guy waiting for you with a lot of cash but you disappeared. If there’s a bar hang out there awhile. At least every half hour just walk around in every section of the club. Walk slowly enough so a potential customer can get your attention. Just smile and make eye contact with everybody. If he likes you you’ll get some response, if not don’t hassle him.
5) if a new guy wants some dances don’t keep putting him off because all your regulars are wanting their dances. He could be a new regular. Give him a couple of dances early on at least.
6) stage dances are good advertisement for private dances. Since a tipper is already interested ask him if you should stop by his table after you get off stage.
7) don’t sit down with a customer unless they ask you. They could be waiting for the girl right behind you. (if there’s any fee involved with sitting at your table you should mention it upfront instead of presenting a big bill later like unsavory places do).
9) if a club has a basic price for a dance don’t tell a guy that you charge more than the going rate. Guys go there for fun, they don’t like to get ripped off and that spoils the mood. Don’t ask for a tip above and beyond the normal price after a dance is over. If you were any good and they liked you they’ll ask for more dances.
10) it’s easy to get another dance from a guy by heating things up towards the end of a song. He won’t want to stop at that point.
11) guys have different tastes in girls. He might be in a mood for blonds instead of brunettes that night. He might prefer naturals instead of silicone(bowling balls aren’t sexy, a little natural bounce is sexy). He might prefer small or big butts. Don’t take it personally if he doesn’t want your company. He’s trying to fulfill his fantasies afterall.
Thanks Johnny, its great to hear the customers point of view.
This is really good for us girls to know and is sound advice
for girls who want to know how to do the job right get
paid and keep the customers happy!
i go blank when conversating… how would i keep engaged? u rock!!!
Hi Shia,
WHen you are conversing, think like you are talking to a hot guy you really like, make sure you ask him questions about himself. Jessica Simmonds book gives a list of questions in her book so that you can keep your customer intrigued for hours. If you want to make more money, she tells you how. I used her book, which is why i recommend it
I hope that helps
Thank you

HI,
The information I listed below is for dancers in California, however, ALL exotic dancers NEED to look into their local labor laws. Exotic Dancing is a legitmate business: the club owners are licensed businesses, pay taxes etc.Governor Davis signs bill supporting exotic dancers!
On Friday, September 29, 2000, Governor Gray Davis signed Assembly Bill 2509 (Authored by Assemblyman Steinberg). A.B. 2509 improves enforcement and administrative procedures of wage and hour laws before the Labor Commissioner and the courts, and increases civil penalties and damages for violations. The bill will be in effect as of January 1, 2001.
A.B. 2509 classifies exotic dancers as employees, and entitles them to keep their gratuities (“tips) from patrons. Under existing labor laws, employers can’t take gratuities intended for the employee or deduct or credit gratuities against wages due.
Owners who require the payment of “stage fees,” “commissions,” or ”quotas” from any portion of dancers’ tips will be in violation of State labor laws. Dancers can file a claim with the Labor Commission and request the return of paid fees and any unpaid wages (you can go back 3 years from the date that you file your claim), or make an anonymous report to the Labor Commission that their employer is charging fees and taking money from dancers’ tips.
State of California Labor Commission: 455 Golden Gate Avenue, (415) 557-7878
The girls need to start treating their job as a legitimate profession. Exotic dancers have rights even if you only work part-time. Furthermore, no matter what contract you sign – if it is illegal to began with – it is void. Most club owners know most girls aren’t going to look into these things, so we sign contracts and think we have no control over our job which allows the club owners to control, manipulate and extort money from us.
Thank you Linzey
This is really helpful

I am a waitress at a strip club and I am getting ready to become a dancer. I just have a few questions; At my club we have a waitress contest where the waitresses each go up on stage and dance for one song and then the audience votes for a winner. My first time doing the contest I won. I was surprised I won though becaue all I did was get up there and be sexy and role around. I don’t know any of the stage/pole tricks. Is that a big deal? Can I just learn as I go along or will not knowing the tricks effect my business? Also, how do I transition from casual convo with the customer to (for lack of a better term) sexy talk and asking if they want a dance?
Thanks!
Hi Veronica
Well done for winning. A lot of the time it isnt the daring dancing moves you can do but your attitude on stage.
In some clubs you make a lot of your money on the stage by tips and in others clubs that does not matter so much. Are you in a club where the girls make most of thier money by dancing on stage or by selling private dances and VIP rooms? You can usually learn as you go along if you do need to do tricks or go to a local pole dancing class
There is a real way in which you converse with a customer that converts it from normal talk to selling talk and I was really bad at this when i started until I read Jessica’s 7 Step Book. This is why I promote it as the main thing she teaches is how to get them to spend money on you. It is too much to explain here, but if you are serious I would get that book and you will find you will get used to “selling” yourself with the customers. You can learn this on your own but it will take time and the sad thing is that other girls in the club will not teach you
Good luck
Mia
Linzey had some great info about the laws for dancer – how club owners pay them much less.
A few lawyers are out there trying to help dancers. http://www.exoticdancerrights.com. THe office is in socal.
