How To Make More In Tips- Part 3
Rich people. Ah, the best of the best. Depending on the job, these can be your bread and butter. Learn to love rich people. Do everything you can to satisfy this group (or any good tipper in general). But before you go pulling your one-liners and phony Connecticut accents, though, there is something you should know about most rich people. Regardless of what you may believe about rich people and their intelligence, they really are smarter than the average bear (I mean, they do have way more money, dont they?) They can see a sales pitch or a fake compliment a mile away (again, I stress these are generalities). If you come at them with a bag of tricks, it is probably going to affect your tip negatively.
Before you read on, though, lets get one thing straight. There is more to life than money. If any person, rich or not, treats you like garbage and genuinely tries to put you down, do not accept that behavior! Even if it means risking your job. But a good employer will back you up and the other customers will gain tremendous respect for you. Life is too short to accept anybodys garbage, even if theyre good tippers. It is actually pretty rare for somebody to be outright nasty for no reason, but every now and then, you may get a person on a power trip. If it does happen, though, you dont have to yell back. In fact, you shouldnt. Just tell them in a firm voice. I will not be treated like that. I dont care who you are. If this is going to be a problem for you I will be happy to get my manager.?Or something to that effect. Okay, enough of that.
If you dont know how to impress a rich person, or are uninterested in learning, it is better just to shut up and do your job. Believe me, youll be better off doing that than trying to schmooze them. And youll make more money.
But if you want to get into their world and make much better money (which I highly suggest you do), you need to start thinking like a rich person. First off, money is not that big of a deal for a rich person. Unless they express some interest in their occupation or their retirement, dont grill them about it. While you may think that their job or their fortune is interesting, dont assume that they love what they do.
The best way to impress a rich person is to stop trying to impress them. Be honest and genuine. If they ask you what your personal favorite is on the wine list, dont lie. Dont tell them to pick the most expensive one on the list just so your tip will go up. Theyll know. They may even have follow up questions. When they ask you why it is your favorite, what is the texture, is it more robust than the whites, or whatever, youll stand there like an idiot with no answer. If you dont have a favorite, tell them. I dont drink wine, but many of our more serious wine drinkers go with the [so and so] because it goes well with the portion that youve chosen.?It definitely pays to know your stuff, but dont lie.
Also, its okay to have an opinion on something. If they say something that you dont agree with, and it is appropriate (and I stress appropriate), let them know. Tell them why you think a Viper is superior to a BMW. Nobody likes a yes-man. If they tell a joke that isnt funny, dont laugh. And if they have a sense of humor, tell them it isnt as funny as they think it is. Have an opinion. Rich people respect somebody with an educated opinion. But do NOT take this one too far. Know your place. And if youre not comfortable with this one yet, dont do it. Dont risk offending anyone.
Learn some things that rich people do, such as play golf, tennis, learn about the financial markets, learn some history, learn the area, etc. Rich people are normal people, they just have different and more exact tastes. Learn what those tastes are. And if you dont know about something, then ask them. I noticed you are a golfer. I just started, but Im not that good. Should I start by getting the highest quality clubs, or should I get the basics of my swing down first??Theyll be happy to give you some pointers. Sometimes they will even give you advice that you do not understand. Sometimes they will know it too. But thats okay. They just like to see that you have an honest interest in improving yourself, even if its just in improving your golf swing. All of these tips will get you very far when it comes to making more money.
And lastly, when a person gives you a very generous tip, dont act like it is the greatest thing in the world (unless they are trying to impress you. If you think it will get you on their good side, then you can give them any reaction you think they want). They know that it is a great tip and you know that it is a great tip. Look them right in the eye and give them a genuine Thank you?or Thank you very much.?When you over-thank them or become flustered, it may affect your tip next time. They will know it is way more than you expected and they will tip you less next time. Please do not get me wrong. Do not be a snob! Do not ever let them think that you are unappreciative. Just do not get overexcited. It is unprofessional and if you are good at your job, you deserve it.
The bottom line when it comes to increasing your tips, just as with anything else in life, is to be yourself, be genuine, pay attention and have discipline.
