One of the Biggest Money Makers for Any Dancer, Including You

Paging thru a recent magazine, I was reminded of a great sales technique that fits in perfectly with the dancing profession.  It’s something that anyone from the Veteran dancer to the girl who just tried on her first pair of stilleto’s can incorporate.  And unlike a new costume or a new fragrance, it won’t cost you a dime.  Here’s what it is.

First, think about what all the great money makers in this profession have posessed that you’ve ever come into contact with.  If you’re coming up blank, I’ll help you out.  Confidence.  It’s the single greatest asset you can obtain in this business, if you don’t already have it.  And in case you don’t, I’ll give you a couple pointers to get you started.

1.  Preparing for work will make you confident.  I’m not talking about doing your hair and make-up exactly, but those things being on point will help.  I’m talking about knowing how to approach a potential customer, how to ask one for that third and fourth dance.  How to appear like you have what the customer is seeking or desiring.  And these skills are learned from practice and making the most of your time at work.  The more positive you are, the more confident you will be.  Keep working everyone, but maintain your confidence about the situation.  Just because someone turned you down once, it’s not a given that they will again.  Be just as happy and positive as you were the first time you approached them.  Have you ever noticed that when you get on a roll at work, it seems like everyone wants a piece of you?  There’s many reasons, but the main ones are it builds your confidence and secondly is most people are followers and want what other people have.  The busy girl becomes desirable.  Be that girl.

2.  Secondly, to exhibit the confidence you want to, you must believe in what you’re doing.  You must believe that you are offering the best the club has to offer.  You must believe that there isn’t one girl there who can do a dance better then you, that there isn’t one other girl there who can give the customer the experience you can offer them (i’m not talking about extras either).  This belief is where confidence comes from.  Something that definately helps your belief in yourself, is doing your homework.  Talking with those who are very successful around you, reading sales books or articles, and most importantly checking this blog, and others =),  for tips and info on how to be a successful dancer will give you insight and the knowledge that will boost your confidence 100 fold.
