10 sales and marketing tips you can learn from bar girls

Smart bar girls are sales people. The ones that know how to behave, what to provide and understand that by acting and following through certain traits, will give them higher returns.

Here’s my take on 10 sales and marketing techniques smart bar girls use that are common with successful businesses.

• 1) Give them something for nothing

The first thing a good bar girl will do is flirt with you, smile, tell you that you are such a handsome man and sit on your lap. Here you get a sample of the service before hand, if it’s good, you’ll want the full service.

• 2) Understanding your customers

Bar girls will ask questions, try and build a strong based relationship from the start, in which they can tailor to their own sales pitch depending on the answers you give them.

• 3) Make sure you are selling a great product or service

Bar girls must be well presented in order to sell. They can not afford to gain extra kilo’s, have spots, have dark skin (sometimes) or have a fat arse. They have to care for their product in order to make sure it’s the best on the market.

• 4) Be innovative

The bar girls that are innovative sure get more customers. The ones that are a little different, be it they will double up with their friends, use a costume or use a whip are guaranteed to stand out from the crowd.

• 5) Providing good customer service

Good bar girls will get you a drink, not rush you into paying for her drink or her bar fine. If you are new to Thailand, they will show you a different side of Thailand you haven’t seen before: invite you to eat som-tam with her friends.

• 6) Up sell

The really smart bar girls will up sell their anus.

• 7) Closing techniques - getting more out of the deal

She will cry, and tell you about her sick buffalo or her mum has just gone into hospital and she has no money or she needs some money for a taxi home. Another smart trait is making them their boyfriends for his entire stay in Thailand, which then almost guarantees monthly wire transfers.

• Target your audience

Why do you think more and more bar girls are choosing Japanese customers over white guys? They pay better.

• 9) Persistence

Not every guy she flirts with will want to take her back to his hotel room, the good bar girls do not give up trying.

• 10) Look after your existing clients

It’s a lot easier to keep your existing clients happy than to get new ones… well almost. If the girls can realize that some sexpats need visit the bar scene on a regular basis, putting that extra bit of effort may ensure a re-visit.
