Sometimes I run across a potential client who wants a price quote off the top. They give you a little bit of info about an event that they are looking to book a DJ. Do you give them a price quote off the top or do like to speak to them before giving a price quote?
Personally I like to communicate with a potential client first to find out as much as I can about the event before giving a price quote. I like to know besides the music side of things what else are they looking for the DJ to provide? Also the location of the event can make a big difference in a price quote.
One other thing is I like to get a feel for the potential client to see if I want to be bothered with even doing the event. The thing for me is I don't really care to give a potential client a starting price because they may think that is the price you will be willing to do the event and if you give them a higher price quote they will think you're gouging them. In other words in their minds they will be stuck on the starting price.
