Customer Reviews

too general
The book was way too general and really didn't offer any advice on the specifics of being a mobile dj. The book's font was quite big. I read it all in 2 hours.

The beginning of the book unfortunately was just general knowledge and fillers.

I was expecting an insiders view on the mobile dj business.

Dollars ... and the salesmen who love them.
This book, and its sister publication is fantastic, if you want to be Ray Kroc, and attempt to get rich franchising your cookie cutter product. The book describes very little about the actual methodology of performance, and focuses with laser precision on the mechanisms of salesmanship. The author rides high in the saddle, and rules over all the "bottom feeders" she surveys. This is the type of mentality I would think one who aspired to individual artistic expression, and freedom would want to avoid. Conform or be cast out. The content is concise, and informative in its own self righteous, conformist, and calculating way.

Great book for any experience level
I have been djing about 5 years and want to take my business to the next step. This book is full of all kinds of information that I can use now, not abstract ideas that would work in theory. I could not put it down I just wanted to keep learning. Some of the ideas I have already started to implement. Can't wait to read the DJ Sales and Marketing Book. A MUST READ
