I’ve posted this before but I (personally) think it’s funny/informative enough to repeat:
When they arrive, come in, look around & say, “Are you alone?”
Me, stepping up close & getting into their personal space. “Why? Are you planning on robbing me?”
*dead ass serious look on my face. No smile. Hands on hips. Body language aggressive.*
Client begins stuttering & nervously laughing. “I uh well err umm.”
“Because the last person that asked me that ?? DID try & rob me. And then I had to kill him. And because you don’t know me, you have NO IDEA if I’m joking or not.”
The 2 times I’ve done this they were both so terrified they left the $$ & ran out the door, mumbling something about being “uncomfortable.”😂
My other fave is the ones who start out by asking for a discount in return for becoming a regular.
“I’m looking for a lady to have an ongoing relationship with & I love your look & style! This would be a cpl hours each week, every week & since this will be mutually beneficial to us both, what financial agreement can we come to?”
Translation: “I want to see you every week at the snap of my fingers for $150 with an unlimited time frame in place.”
It doesn’t work like that. 1st you become a regular, then maaaaybe I give you a discount. And by regular, I mean every week for 6 months.
