Sex industry work is all about selling a product. The more pleasant, engaging, and attractive you are, the more likely the customer will come back. Here is some useful advice from Trade Secrets contributors for attracting and keeping customers:

• Look at what other workers are doing, and try to improve it in a low cost way. Make yourself unique, but don’t spend a ton of money doing it.
• Eye contact is an amazing trick with customers. If they feel that you are dancing strictly for them, the money pours out.
• Utilize what works for you, find your niche and you’ll be able to work it.
• Confidence is one of the biggest techniques. Know you are ‘the shit’ (exactly what they’re looking for) and they will think so too.
• Treat them like they are lovers that you chose and that you’re privileged to be with.
• If you work in your home, make sure the place is clean and that the room you work in has everything you might need (towels, lube, condoms, music, lighting, toys etc.)
• Keep notes on your repeat clients so that you can express appropriate interest in them as people.
• Smile.
• Provide excellent services and be patient with clients.
• Tease, tease, tease …keep them wanting more!
• If you take off your clothes, take a long time undressing, doing it slowly and seductively.
• If you are a contact sex worker, engage in lots of foreplay.
• If you massage, give oral, etc, use your breath on their skin.
• Lots of “looky no touchy” works well to turn them on and keep them squirming.
• Learn about YOUR body and what angles, clothes, lighting, expressions, and poses, look good on YOU. Practice in front of a mirror, camera or a friend to get all your looks just right.
• Develop your own style. What do you specialize in? What sets you apart from your colleagues?
• Ask your customer what he/she wants. Take the time to find their special turn-ons. Everyone is different.
• Really listen to their words and body language. They’ll appreciate you for this on more levels than just sexually.
• Be knowledgeable about current news and events.
• Dance like everyone watching is important.
• Be professional, learn pole tricks and sexy moves.
• Monitor your alcohol intake.
• Get some super sexy photos for your ads.
• Keep a spreadsheet with info about clients so you can remember details about their lives.
• Keep a positive attitude and provide excellent customer service.
• Make the clients worship you!
• Have impeccable posture, exude confidence, don’t be defensive or ever feel the need to explain yourself, and walk and move very slowly and deliberately.
