As the title says (if it fits in the title box?).
Have you ever had a customer change their date so that they can have you?
It's happened a couple of times in the past but a classic example is actually from today.
Amongst a few enquiries today (strangely busy Sunday for them), I received one via my Indie/Alternative DJ site.
With not too much information on the enquiry form apart from the venue and a short message saying that it was a birthday party and they were specific about the music, I decided to give the enquirer a call.
It's really bizarre...Many moons ago I used to do regular club work in Bournemouth at a couple of Alternative clubs. The customer mentioned that they actually met at one of the nights I did and went on to get married. Unfortunately (as they said), they didn't have the best wedding disco because the DJ didn't adhere to their requests so they want to book something for a birthday party and are specific about the music that is played. They want to recreate the club nights that I did back then.
Anyway, the date that they have in mind sees me booked already and it's not something I can get someone to cover as it's another Indie/Alternative/80s party.
When I spoke to the enquirer over the phone, she said that I sounded like their perfect DJ and that she was going to change the date so that she could get me. That's pretty cool I think. I sent her my available dates and she booked me earlier.
Anyone had the same kind of thing?
