I give it away too...

That is, my wedding planning guide. You can as well.

When I call a lead and send them a follow up e-mail I include the guide. So far it has lead to landing interviews and weddings I may nit have gotten.

One bride that didn't book did Paypal me $25 for it. Her brother is doing her wedding as a wedding present. Her brother's a good DJ and somebody on my referral list (an I'm on his) so I really don't have a problem with it. Plus, I'm invited. :sqlaugh:

If you want, give your brides my book.

I read this before, and I like most of it. i would make changes for my company, but it is a good way to start.

Hey Tom,

I was going through some old files of mine and I still have your "How To Hire A DJ" guide in a text file, I think this if from way back in '05 when we were still Wedding Day Blues :)

Thanks Tom, can I get it autographed?

I called you back today but just got your machine.

Tom, you're a good man. :sqbiggrin:

LOL I use that same document edited for my purposes at every bridal show. Tom has been a great resource I think I am using one of his old contracts too if I remember correctly

I'll post the original word doc tonight.

Thanks Travis.

I just put together some of the stuff I already use. Some things I use have come from here; for example; some of it from Aaron's post (http://www.ourdjtalk.com/showthread.php?t=11655). The basis of it, the one year planning guide, I picked up and started building back in 2001. I have made it a checklist for my brides in DJEP.

Folks, I forgot to post this. Here's the original Word file. Make changes as necessary to fit your business.

I love to share to. Once a client books I give them this book in a binder with each section in a clear folder so they can take it out when they go to specific places. If I knew how to put pictures in I would also add a picture.

I hope this helps someone. Please let me know if you need further explanations

Richie:

Combined the two books.

Tom, that was very nice of you to provide all of us with such a great piece of work.
