Advice from Fellow DJ Pros please

[DJStevie]

To all of my fellow DJ Pros.

If you are having success with Promote, please reach out to me and give me some advice. I've tried everything that Thumbtack suggested to improve my profile. But, Evidently, I'm doing something wrong with no leads, not even a conversation starter, in a week. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. For now I have Promote on pause.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

I posted this last week, and haven't heard from any of my DJ peers who use Promote. If you're having success with Promote, please reply along with any advice you may have.

Thanks in advance, Steve

@Eddygee @CapitalDeeJays it looks like you're both Promoting your DJ's businesses. Do you have any advice or tips that you can share with @DJStevie? 

We look forward to hearing from you!

Here’s a couple of things for sprucing up your profile. Your intro should be geared like your personally speaking with a potential client. So no “ I can bring you this and that”... more like “ you’re looking for a professional team? You’ve come to the right place. Like you’re having a conversation with them.
Reviews are huge! Even if off site, reach out to former clients to put up a review for you. I survive off reviews!!
Pictures... videos.... very important too.
Respond quickly to job inquires or specifically, promotes! Very important! The faster you reply, the more you’re potential client will think you really want to dj their event. That way, they feel important! Hate to be repetitive, but that’s very... IMPORTANT!

Thanks for your input, but I have done all that you mentioned, and then some with the advice of Thumbtack Moderators and phone reps. Just ask @Meckell . I even put in some special events that I'm a regular DJ for to attract customers. I did get a couple of bookings using the manual system recently, but none with Promote on previously.

Any other suggestions?

I’m doing well with promote. Between that and the old instant match I’ve gotten 70% of my bookings. Nothing via job requests. The other 30% thru referral.

Happy that Promote is working for you, and like I mentioned earlier, I tried all the suggestions, and nothing. I just wanted to know if there was something else that I wasn't doing that I could try.

Thanks for advice though
