John, not only is this a great video for anyone who has no business experience, it's going to spread like wildfire and bring all the DJs who watch this up to a professional level. You are raising the bar on mobile DJs!
Awesome awesome awesome! Friends always ask how I book almost every inquiry I get. I always say the same thing. COMMUNICATION!! Having gig logs to show off helps a lot too!
It's in my contract that the final payment is due 30 days before the wedding and I've never had an issue with it! Glad to hear you are doing something similar.
When I seen how long this video was going to be,I said I would nit watch the whole thing,but bro as soon as you started talking I couldn't stop watching good advice thanks for giving so much game bro!!!
I'm a newbie DJ student and Im already thinking ahead and I must say THIS is the most valuable information Ive ever received about the DJing business. Thanks alot for being transparent for the little guys out here.
Good advice! I use a dry erase board,and write down all quotes,appointments, bookings, and goals. I also keep the calender on my phone up to date. I've thought about sending thank you cards,or Happy Anniversary cards on thier first anniversary. I need to quit stalling & do that.
Im over a year late on this... but these are fantastic suggestions and ideas. I 100% plan to incorporate these ideas! Thank you! - New Subscriber Earned
I've thought about using DJ Event Planner but its just another expense I don't need right now, im trying to keep my expenses down. Great video man, communication is key and fast responses definately helps!
There are certainly cheaper options if that doesn’t fit into your budget. You can always check out others like DJ intelligence, gig builder etc. it’s not necessary but it help with my workflow.
Really great information. This is very valuable and easy broken down steps on being better on running your company... John please keep on giving all of these great pro tips.
Funny thing is you tell us not to call you right? Wouldn't have to because you put out so much highly informative content bro.... it's unbelievable!!! Literally PRICELESS!!!! I'm SOOOOO glad i found your channel bro!!! You REALLY know your stuff, love your business, and obviously care about giving back with your experience!! You're VERY inspiring, knowledgeable, and talented!! God bless you John, i hope you continue to rise higher and higher!!
John great tips. Here is on that I have used for years, I make nice keychains and coffee mugs with my logo. First meeting they get the keychains and when they close the deal, or the day of the wedding/event, the get the coffee mug. Its something they use every day and they remember you.
Thank you for this video! My problem is, I get a lot of hits on my website but very few quote request. I will add pricing to my website to see if it helps. Thanks again

Communication is key!
It's in my contract that the final payment is due 30 days before the wedding and I've never had an issue with it! Glad to hear you are doing something similar.
I have a 14 day prior full payment clause. I like your 30 better. I have to remind clients, once in a while, and the extra time works for me.
Oh! I just got contacted by a client as I'm watching this! Time to use my new knowledge!
When I seen how long this video was going to be,I said I would nit watch the whole thing,but bro as soon as you started talking I couldn't stop watching good advice thanks for giving so much game bro!!!
So good! Follow up and quick response times are absolute key to booking more work.
The thank you card is a great idea man!
