THE WHEN - When is it the right time to reach out for help and what kind of help should you get from the music industry?

When is it time to contact a label, a booking agent, a manager, a producer or a consultant, and are you really ready to reach out and solicit at this point in [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] your career?

The simple and fast answer is usually, no, its a little too early.

It is about being as prepared and as professional as you can be before you reach out. It is about that first impression being strong and it is about realizing there are a number of other people trying to contact the same person or company for the same exact thing.

When you have done everything you can to the best of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] your ability to organize, prepare and stand out in a strong professional manner, then that is the time to go send that email or make that call.

Do your research. Find out what they are looking for and what you are bringing to the table. Remember, just as you want a service from some one or some company, in turn, they are going want something from you as well.

And [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] don't get lost in the delusion of it all. Finding that producer that worked with so and so is not the key to making you a success. Signing with a management company that helped launch this person or that person years ago does not mean they have the ability to get you where you want to go today. Just because a band recorded at this studio or that studio does not mean you will walk out with the same level of product or the same revenue results. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Wasting a whole bunch of time and money trying to shop a crappy demo to a truckload of producers is not the answer or more so, not [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the answer these days.

You need to do your research and get together as much as you can with your resources to present the most professional recording, image and materials as possible. Instead of signing to a booking agent that would take a larger cut and charge you a high rate to prepare all your booking materials, help you with branding and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] promotional layouts, build up your package first. Create a logo set, work on your content and build up a strong and well formatted social network system. Maybe work with a consultant or an independent contractor that can help you build a great promotional and booking package that you own all the rights to, then in turn, be able to use [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] that package to solicit to higher level booking agents, showing how well your materials are organized and put together.

Lastly, this will [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] help showcase you or your band as well organized and put together as well as creating a sense [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] of you being a more professional artist and someone that the agent could make money off of faster because it will take less time to get your package and all your materials ready. Again, remember, what ever [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you do not have in place in the sense of promo and branding will need to be done before they start pushing you. (At least with any reputable company or organization.)

Just use that [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] formula whether it is when you choose to contact or solicit anyone and ask the following questions.

Are you [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] really ready to send that email?

Are you organized in a manner that could make you stand out from a great deal of others who are sending the same requests?

Are you making it easier for the person you are contacting to do what you want them to do for you?

[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Don't rush to get a manager, an agent, a label or [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] anything for that matter. Take the time to research what is needed and required out there and work to achieve the best [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] level that you can before you take it to the next one. Patience, professionalism and organization is going to make you a safer bet to the music industry as a whole. Work to prepare the materials as well as the solicitation letter you are going to use to make first contact. Pull all those elements together will get the best results and that is WHEN it will be the right time to get out there.
