Model Etiquette
The fastest way to lose a customer is to overcharge them for dances.
The second fastest way to lose a customer is poor etiquette.
Since we all are in the business of attracting and retaining customers - we put together the bellow suggestions. When we all do our part, we all win!
DO
Be professional and respectful at all times. Maintain professionalism with customers and coworkers at all times. Respect personal boundaries and be mindful of how you approach others.
Be approachable and friendly. Small talk can help build a connection with customers. Ask open-ended questions, but respect their privacy. Speak positively. Make eye contact and smile.
Set clear boundaries: Clearly communicate your limits in terms of personal space and behavior. Don’t hesitate to walk away if a customer violates your boundaries.
Support fellow dancers: Be considerate and supportive of your fellow dancers. Watch out for each other and help maintain a safe work environment. We are considerably more powerful when we work as a team.
Maintain personal hygiene and appearance: Keep up with personal grooming and cleanliness. Looking and feeling your best is part of the job, and it contributes to a professional atmosphere. Make sure your clothing is clean and looking new.
Manage your energy wisely: Interacting with customers can be draining. Take breaks as needed to recharge your energy and maintain a positive attitude throughout the night.
Wipe down the stage pole after each use.
Know the house rules. Follow all House Rules and Energy Exchange set by the management, whether it's regarding interactions with customers, tipping, or behavior within the venue.
Practice good money etiquette. Be upfront about pricing for private dances and services. Always count the money before performing any service to avoid misunderstandings.
DON’T DO
Do not approach customers unless they show interest. Never approach customers before they receive their first drink or when they are already engaged with another model. Give customers at least 15 minutes to settle in when they arrive unless the customer approaches you.
Never speak with a customer that is already in a conversation with another model.
Never interrupt a dance for whatever reason. If you need to speak with a model or customer already involved in a dance, wait for the dance to be over. If you can not wait, speak with security or manager for assistance.
Don’t wear the same dress or lingerie multiple times in one week.
Don’t record or take pictures in the locker room.
Don’t oversell or pressure customers: Be persuasive but not pushy. Customers appreciate a light, friendly approach more than feeling obligated or forced into buying dances or drinks. Never hover over guests or “block” other models when approaching customers.
Don’t gossip or create drama: Avoid talking negatively about fellow dancers, staff, or customers. A positive environment is essential for everyone's success.
Don’t neglect your safety: Always prioritize your safety. If a customer makes you feel uncomfortable or crosses boundaries, seek help from security or management immediately.
Don’t undercut other dancers: Don’t offer lower prices for dances to compete with fellow dancers. Don’t take your bra off within the first three songs or nine minutes. This creates an unhealthy working environment and can lead to resentment among coworkers.
Don’t ignore the customer’s energy or mood: Be mindful of how the customer is feeling. If they seem uninterested or uncomfortable, respect their space and don’t force conversation or interaction.
Don’t take rejection personally: Not every customer will be interested, and that’s okay. Stay professional and move on to the next opportunity without letting it affect your attitude.
