Persistence is polite
I’ve spent the whole week working on booking a tour for a guitarist I work for. Not having your emails returned, voice mails listened to, or messages past on can easily become depressing and disheartening. The guitarist in question is an awesome musician, a great guy, and a wonderful live performer… But, while he is world renowned with fans found in every corner of the globe, he is by no means world famous. What this means is that it is, more often than not, a sales led process when it should be easy simply based on the quality of the performer I’m booking this tour for.
I was trying to remember the mantra that I keep returning to at times like this “Persistence is polite”.
I was trying to remember who said it??? So I Googled it… And if course… It was one of Derek Sivers soundbites!
Love you Derek
