SOCIAL CIRCLE DEVELOPMENT

WORKING THE FLOOR


Working the floor is the concept of interacting someway with everything/ everyone in your environment. It starts with your first interaction of the day. Every interaction you involve yourself with should be positive and you should carry from them two things: Confidence, and a smile. These two things can be built up with every interaction and can often work for you most times stronger than any opener. In a nightclub scenario working the floor is the friendly alternative to the often dreaded bee-line towards the target.
As you enter the club, your first and foremost worry is to quickly gain high-energy. High-energy begins to form with the first smile you give and receive and must be quickly built upon by entering a set. As you enter each set you should have a care-free mind frame. While working your routine you should focus on only having a positive interaction. Leave the set on a high note and time-bridge by saying I’ll see you guys later and respectively give “daps”, or a high-five.
By doing this with a number of sets you have officially worked the floor and have built yourself a social circle which will provide you with plenty of value. In this manner work your way toward the target. Do not be scared to introduce members of certain sets to other sets. This act is called forwards and/or backwards merging. Doing this establishes you as the leader of the newly formed social circle.
