This is a new relationship and the relationship started with an introduction from a fellow TAXI member to the publisher.
In reverse order the ways to establish a new relationship:
3. Cold call ( hit or miss)
2. TAXI forward ( a favorable introduction)
1. a referral from a composer already doing business with the publisher (possibly instant credibility)
This is a relationship that would not have been established without TAXI. Thru TAXI and the Rally we became friends, developed a trust relationship and now we both have a relationship with the publisher.
The only downside, I'll probably need to make sure my friend's glass is full of very old Scotch at the Rally in a few weeks.
