    Important Win 🔥

    Just locked in a consulting/coaching project with one of my "Pre-DL" clients at an x3 higher rate. It's a special win for me, didn't believe I could charge him the new rates, but after diving deep into what motivates him to do music, I was able to offer him something he really needed and wanted. Excited to get started!

      Mar '23@Daniel Grimmett I'll basically guide him through the songwriting and production process and help him record a song from start to finish. And, there's another artist that's interested in that kind of offer.

    So as you all get deeper into this process and start landing wins, I want to create a culture here in the group where we share those wins with each other. This isn't to brag or boast... It just "normalizes" success for everyone, is encouraging, and it lets others know where you are at in the process. You'll notice that there is a post category called "Wins!" that you can use for this. Wins can be big or small and they DON'T always have to be financial wins. Wins could also be...

      Apr '23@Matt LeSueur Awesome! I've worked with clients before - mainly commercials/trailers. But the whole skillset of acquiring clients/working remotely with production has not happened before so that was a light-bulb moment for me. Thank you man!

      Apr '23@Adam Wallin I was encouraged to see this! I was curious though too, are these clients the first time youve ever made money as a producer?? your song in the production review is brilliant man!

    Giving some kudos!

    Shout out to @Hamza Ben Addou Idrissi for getting to try out the sales framework with an artist for the first time. Also to @Luke Kondak who is handling his first potential lead from a Reddit thread he found. I know that we haven't officially dove in with everybody yet so don't feel any FOMO. Just wanted to give some kudos to get you all in the spirit!
