200+ parties and now I have my FIRST EVER client meeting.

[Papa Deuce]

Some of you might not know that I was a DJ for several years about 15 - 18 years ago. Then I started up again this year. I haven't done many parties so far since getting back in.

Things are SO different now than then. I had done over 200 parties when I DJ'd before. Never once had I actually met a client before they signed on with me ( with the exception being people who knew me from other areas of life ).

This Saturday I have my first face to face sales meeting.... at Starbucks, as suggested by the client.

My, oh my, how things have changed! Wish me luck!

Chuck:

Just relax and be yourself.

What's the event? Maybe I have some things you can use.

Thanks Tom. I should be OK. It is a wedding for a couple in their 40's.... I am 44, so I should fit right in. They don't want a "rah - rah" DJ, so that is good for me. And the groom was the one who called me and we seemed to hit it off. I think I will book this job.

But I am a little nervous because it is the first time. Also because I don't have a video / music presentation to show, like so many DJs do now.

Plagerize ... ummm ... I mean use these if you care to.

ECC is our Entertainer's Comparisson Chart and the zipped file is the Buyer's Guide. I originally got these from Charles Snyder.

They are PDF but should conver to to Word.

BTW, I wouldn't post them if I didn't want people to have them.

Tom is golden.

If he ain't helping it's usually cuz he ain't aware he could be.

Update: I just bought a "T" for my keyboard off of eBay and now I can spell "convert" correctly. LOL

to add to what rox said: ...or because he is to busy failing at trying to be funny (just kidding: I laughed--actually, that still doesn't really help your case).

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger, my friend.

When I lived in Virginia I ran the DJ biz from '93 to '00. I never, ever had a client meeting. Folks called, we booked and that was that. Several of 'em had been at weddings or parties I did and they booked on the spot.

In 2000 I moved to Delaware in search of better opportunities. Perhaps it's a north of the Mason-Dixon Line thing... but we've done several client meets since moving here.

Just do your best... concentrate on the positive and let 'em be the star of the show.

Dammit, I can't believe I am actually anxious about this meeting. It is 12 hours away and I keep thinking about it. I don't think I am as confident now, as I was back in the day.

Of course, back then, I didn't have my wife riding my ass about getting all this equipment paid for! I'll break even as far as the money invested to get back in, by early 2007.... like March or April, I think.

Well, no wonder.

A wife riding your arse is a liability. That's why I don't have one anymore.

The wife had to go. Once the wife was gone I was able to invest in some professional business equipment for a change.

Better you than me.
