How to be Successful in the Music Industry (Part One)

1. CALL PEOPLE BACK ASAP!!!!

You have no idea how many people do not return phone calls in a prompt manner(at major record labels, small labels, websites, etc. etc.) .

I’ve had personal experience with a certain nationally distributed label that would not return my phone calls for WEEKS after I had sat down with them in regards to working for them. So nearly a month after speaking with them and getting a verbal confirmation (and a handshake) that everything was in order… Nothin

Its really funny actually… I was supposed to help them get organized! But you cannot help people that do not want your help.

PS- I would link you to their website, but wait! They don’t have one. Keep in mind this is a label that is nationally distributed with BET artist(s). No names. Enough Ranting…
