There are two principles that I want to point out here:kclements wrote:This library was on one of the Listening Panels that happen to play one of my tracks. They liked the track and asked for a copy.
3) I love that they gave you positive feedback, asked for the copy - and you still asked for permission to contact them. You were respectful, rather than entitled. It's what can I do for you (or how do you prefer to be contacted) rather than what can you do for me?kclements wrote:After the Panel, I briefly introduced myself and asked if it would be ok to contact them about the track sometime after the Rally.
4) FOLLOW-UP - how many times have I heard artists say, well, so and so told me to call him, but I never did. OMG! That's like taking an opportunity and stamping on its head!kclements wrote:I sent an email this week as a follow up and they are signing a number of tracks and I am free to send them new tracks anytime.
Thanks Debra for your kinds words and encouragement. I learned everything I know about networking from taxi folks like Tracy and Vance, Chuck, Mazz, Matt... This list goes on. This forum has been an amazing resource.coachdebra wrote:
I'm curious Kayle, if you'd be willing to talk about your follow-up approach - was that the first email since the Road Rally? Were there other efforts that preceded this one?
Your Coach,
Debra
Excellent - so while you could have and/or perhaps should have followed up sooner - 6 months is a long time to wait - it wasn't too long. And you took really good care of them, by reminding them of who you were, where you met, and giving them what they might need.kclements wrote:Thanks Debra for your kinds words and encouragement.

This was the first email sent since the Rally. I struggled with the timing. I didn't want to write too soon after the Rally, thinking they were catching up on things. But I worried I waited too long and they would forget who I was. So I sent the email introducing myself again, how we met and provided a link to both the song they liked, and a set list of three other tracks I did - all on soundcloud.
Once I got the return emailed, I followed up immediately with them and started a dialog.
Cheers
