You missed it. You said a venue recommended you. I wasn't talking about that. For them to recommend you they have to know something about you. I was talking about going in cold turkey trying to get them to recommend you.Wow, I have been doing it wrong. I should not have gone in to any of the venues that recommend me. I should have instead at around and did nothing and let them come to me. Imagine all the driving I could have avoided.
I'm sure venues have plenty of DJs coming in trying to sell themselves. Making fantastic claims. The question is can they back up the claim? Of course you have a leg up when someone recommends you.
