I have received 3 voice mails this week all from other DJs. All 3 of the DJs were looking for work. Asking if I needed any help with gigs., or have any gigs for them to do I have never heard of any of the DJs who left me voice mails. I have not returned any of the phone calls. I'm not sure what the conversations will accomplish other than maybe befriending another DJ or two?
Frankly, one of them did not sound professional to me in their message.
Anyway, maybe that is a sign of the industry right now? Not enough work, and too many DJs in the area?
I barely have enough work for myself, and am able to get my sister and brother booked on a few events this year. I don't really have overflow work I can sub contract to DJs that I do not know. I also work full time now, so I'm not in a position to push booking events as much as I did in previous years either. I don't have the time for generating sales much, and I am automating things much more as I can't be fast in returning any calls or responding to most emails if they were to come in during a week day before 5:30 p.m.
Just thought I'd share that DJs are calling me looking for work...Strange that 3 called in the same week. I suspect that many DJs are feeling "The Crunch" right now as things have slowed down for them over the year, and the calendar has a lot of open dates moving forward.
