If you’re an independent here are a couple of hard and fast rules to start the week on a high note…
1) Get dressed for work ever morning – even if you only wear shorts and t-shirt.
2) No food in the studio. Coffee, tea and water is still welcome.
3) Check my account regulary to keep on top of current and past due accounts.
4) Make regular “sales calls” to present, past and potential clients.
5) Never let a day go by when you don’t express your gratitude to those around you who help you succeed – be that fellow producers, voice actors, referral sources and clients.
I say “Thank You” with enthusiasm to everyone with whom I work.
And if you ever think you don’t ALWAYS need to say thanks – try finding yourself on the receiving end of someone who never utters it, but always wants your help.
Albert says… “10 or 12 years ago at a station on the East Coast. The GM would say, “I love it when my sales people buy a new car or a house. Debt motivates them to make budget. I took that mantra and applied it to my company. I set a budget for every month based on need, greed, and last year’s determination to succeed. And I bust my bunny-slipper-wearin’ ass to hit it. ”
Starting with point number one above. Get up. Get Dressed.
Thanks for reading.
