"If I am a club manager, this is how I run it"
 
   LAST EDITED ON 26-Aug-10 AT 05:26 PM (PST)
 
I would be a lot more hands on. I would not walk around in a suit pretending to be the owner. I would speak to each regulars and make them think I am the relationship consultant. I would go up to a regular who comes a lot but hardly spend money, and say, "What's up buddy. I know you come here all the time. How can I make you a happier customer? How about I give you special rates? From now on, every lap dance you do you only pay half of what others pay. How about a VIP room for you right now and charge you just $30 for each 30 minutes. Yes there are lots of beautiful girls sitting there and they are wasting the club's money. Just take one of them upstairs and pay $30 for each 30 minutes. And from now on, that's the price you pay. Because you are our special customer."

I would be very hands on and speak to each regular customer. Find out who they like, find out what's their budget for each month, and set them up with the girls. When you see girls sitting there, and customers sitting there, the club is losing money. I rather see them together and the club gets to charge them by the hour.

Yeah I would be like the customer's financial consultant and speak to each one of them. Print them out some special passes so they can get discounts for each lap dance or each VIP room visit.

Back in the days me and my friends would goto club but just sit there because they made the regular lap dance $60 for less than 5 minutes. We told them that's too expensive, and they won't listen. They are wasting the club's money each time we just enter the club and sit there. If the manager was more hands on and actually came up to us and started negotiating with us, we would have spent more money.

Like me and my friends, we would never be stupid and pay $200 for 20 minutes in some VIP room. If the manager sees us coming all the time and he already knows that we are not the type who would spend $200 for 20 minutes of VIP room, why can't he just come up to us and rent the room to us for only $30 for half hour or even $50 for half hour? I mean look, its a no brainer. The customer won't spend $200 for 15 minutes. Isn't it time you got the message? The room won't pay for itself unless the customers walk in. They are not making your sofa dirty. They are not repainting your wall or putting a nail in the wall. So why can't you be flexible and just rent the room out for whatever you can get?

How about tell a regular customer to sit with some stripper for 1 or 2 hours and pay by the hour? For instance, if a dancer is just sitting there and the business is slow, just ask a regular customer can he sit beside her and pay the club say $60 for a full 2 hour. The girl gets half of that money , and the club gets half. And the customer is happy because he gets to date a stripper for 2 full hour spending only $60. I bet he will be so happy that he will come all the time when business is bad just to get this same deal.

   SC managers will never indulge in Customer Service, as you describe it....but some dancers will participate in Customer Cervix.

After several years of steady and sometimes intense frequenting of MBOT, I was only comp'd once; by Charlie, and that was way after midnight...I have never been comp'd at CH...and I have been a steady customer for 5-6 years now.

Sounds like its time for you to visit the climic for your bi-monthly reality check.

Im different. Im a businessman with lots of business experience. I hate to see money wasted. So if the manager won't speak, I would hire another manager. I don't hire a manager so he can act cool and walk around like some stud. Oh did you mean somebody complained about you? You were complained upon only once you say?

You claim to be a businessman with lots of business experience yet you don't understand what Stripper Reasearch is talking about when he refers to a "comp". You also claim to be a manager yet don't appreciate that "Managing By Walking Around" is a bona fide and widely practiced management technique. As a manager you walk and observe and then advise your subordinates of what you want fixed or changed. Understand you are a MANAGER not an employee...you provide direction, establish policy and furnish your staff with the necessary tools to do the job. This is not selling some miracle product over the Internet where you only deal with a machine...this is real life where you need the skills to deal with people. You have just proven to the RB brotherhood again of how lacking you are...

--If I am a club manager(title)--Im not a manager(first line of message 7)--how I would run the club if I am manager(last line of message 7). Well, are you and aren't you? Not even sure yourself? --running my own business, not strip club business--then why even originate this entire discussion if you have no idea of what you are talking about. You don't know about MBWA(which is accepted and practiced by even McDonald's Corp.)and you certainly don't understand the principle of the offering premium customers a different experience/value based upon their pre-qualification to a higher consumption level. If the last threw you, think of the chef's table in a 4 star restaurant, private salon of a Vegas casino or the Oak Room at the Clift Hotel. On second thought, stick with your internet...you might not be such a disaster there.

   Why should a manager give a customer a deal like your $30 for 30 minute when they can rent the space for $500 an hour? Your "business plan" is not workable for a strip club. You just go to clubs to hang out and not spend any money. Thats why they kicked you out.

   If a VIP room is empty, how much the club earn? Nothing. So the trick is to not let the VIP room be empty. Fill it with customers at all time no matter what the cost. Even charging $50 an hour is money.

We may quibble about the details, but I've often felt that management in strip clubs does consist of strutting around in a suit...
Have you ever had an experience like this: You've gone to MBOT, and paid you entrance fee, and have several hundred dollars to spend; you spot a hottie, who then walks into the Green Door Room, where she reclines on a table, and receives an hour-long massage, while you're standing there waiting... and watching the clock, because you have to be elswehere soon.
Or, as happened to some pals who went there on my recommendation, each armed with plenty of money on a Sat. afternoon, only to find the place empty and dead, and all the girls (except the one on stage) apparently upstairs for an extended period of time.
I site these as just two examples of management lapses which cost the club and girls lost revenues, and make customers reluctant to return.

Is the magic ring and pill business slowing down? Are tenants skipping out on rent?

I thought Obama, Bernanke, and the rest of the gang said that we are in recovery.

If I am the manager, I won't even waste my time talking. I would simply print out bunch of flyers and give them out to regular customers. The flyer would say when business is slow, we can give them extra discounts. Sit beside a girl for 1 full hour for just $50, and that $50 includes 2 free cups of soda, etc. Or how about wholesale lap dance? Buy 10 lap dances now for just $150. It's like opening up an account with the club, and you can have a lap dance whenever you feel like. But you have to agree to give the girls at least $5 tip after each dance. I mean things can be negotiated. If Im the manager I would negotiate with each regular customer, a lot more hands on. I would not walk around in a suit pretending to be important. Because when the club is running well, you are important. If the club is running poorly, you are just another Obama. I am sure the customers would understand that we cannot give them special discounts on weekends or when business is good. Only when business is slow and girls are sitting around.

I won't name drop but there are a few clubs right now that are offering good deals on lap dances. And with the right girl, you can have the most bang for your buck. They are contouring to the sluggish business volume like you said.

   I don't know why you'd be reluctant to "name drop" - it would be the first useful thing posted on any of the dozens of manhattan/resurrection/millionaireloser threads cluttering up this board. That kind of information is also the main purpose of this board, a fact lost on your idiot friends.

Yeah, no point "name dropping" what clubs have good deals on ld's

No point in "name dropping" what hot dancers are out there.
