It helps to care. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” Great advice, but it applies to your business as well, especially if you are a DJ. Think about it. If you care, Imean really care about the people you are playing for, you are going to do your best, you are going to go above and beyond, and you are going to be happy to do it. The crazy thing is, the more you care, the more questions you ask, the more of a perfectionist you are, the more you will enjoy doing what you do…and the better you will get at it. Its not as hard as you might think, and it all starts with caring. For example, if you are DJing a party for people from Romania, of course have Romanian music, but also take the time to learn how to say, “Welcome”. “Thank You” and “Dance” in Romanian. Even if you mess up the people will realize that you tried, that you put in a little extra effort, and most importantly that you care.
Caring is contagious, if you care about the gig, the music, your equipment, the venue, the hostess, then your assistants will care too, and so will your partners, and so will your receptionist, and pretty soon you will have created an organization that cares, an organization that does great business, and an organization that has a lot of buzz, and gets a lot of referral business. All because you care, the people you play for will care more about you, if you happen to make a mistake, they are more likely to over look it, and if you do a great job, they’ll be more likely to recommend you to their friends.
It starts with a mentality, it leads to better gigs, more business, and happy clients. It helps to care,
Wow, that is great advice. Customer service is really important and it has been lost in the daily routine. It sounds like you are an awesome DJ. I like the fact that you looked into your customer’s culture and wanted to accomodate to there style, rather then playing your own thing. Great Job DJ!
It’s amazing
