Deal thanks to Taxi and you guys...

[gen5020]

Hi, I recently received an email from a company that TAXI forwarded one of my songs to telling me they would like the song as an exclusive deal. Unfortunately it has been with other libraries, non-exclusively, so after I explained this to him, he told me he would have to pass. Remembering what Matt or Dave or someone on the board had said a while back, I asked if he would consider allowing me to try to write another track in a similar style, and he agreed. Well, I did nothing but work on tunes for 3 solid days (I did stop to eat once) and finished 4 tracks and sent them off to him. I just received an email that told me he loves them all and is sending them right out. Pretty cool!Thanks TAXI for the contact and thanks to you guys for the great idea of taking advantage of the door TAXI opens up for us.Dave

Thinking on your feet and maintaining an honest, courteous, can-do attitude (what can I do for you, not what can you do for me!) and delivering what you said you would. HMMMMM, sounds like a professional to me! Congratulations, that's the way it's done!!Mazz

Well Done Dave...Plus, now that he knows you can turn things around quickly, you've started a great relationship, he'll be back for more....Bob

That's very cool...and Bob beat me to it: way to demonstrate your ability to crank stuff out to order. If he took all 4, then go write 4 more!(But feel free to check out that sleep idea occasionally now that the deadline has been met )
