Hey guys, I’m a 17 year old DJ from Delaware.
I have a huge gig coming up this weekend in which my job is not only to DJ and impress crowds of random people.
I also have to talk and network with people outside of my regular niche of clients. Some well known officials (senators, people from the mayors office, the governor, many school officials) along with a lot more less known people (parents, students, teachers, various business men, and people who work for other business who are also trying to network) who are all possible clients will be attending and my goal is to make friends with as many as possible.
I will have no problem playing music, and reading the crowds, preparing a set list, ect. My problem is that I can’t converse well with people I don’t know, or cannot properly relate to. So I’ll have no problem at all talking to teenagers, college students, and so on. Buuut, I will probably give a senator the wrong impression of the business I represent.
So some points on conversation, and some general questions I should expect from people would be a great aid!
Well based on what I read in the papers, the senators ought to have plenty to say about prostitution and extramarital affairs, so I’d stick to topics like that…
wear a suit and tie
don’t talk ghetto like you’re all back of the bus, use proper verbage and english.
speak when spoken to, don’t give your opinion unless asked for it, and when giving it make sure its neutral
shake hands and make eye contact when doing so, they will make conversation, if not then a simple, “Pleasure to meet you” followed by a “enjoy the rest of the event” will suffice
if you’re around senators, none of them will actually want or care about your opinion on anything
Ahh I see.
Yeah good, progressed from my s2 to some cdjs (risky saying that here) and playing around with Ableton as well now.
You got any gigs round Preston coming up?
