What’s Your ‘Type’? Mine Is Sales ‘Successful’ By Jeffery Gitomer

FLASHBACK ARTICLE FROM APRIL 2007 Everybody talks about “types” of people in order to try and figure them out. Salespeople are all taught to mirror, model, and type their prospective customers. Big mistake. My opinion: Total manipulation, total joke, and total waste of time. The key word is harmonize -- not mirror or model. Harmonize is sincere. Mirror or model is manipulative....

Looking back over your DJ career, which decisions are you happiest you made—and which choices changed the direction of your business?

Brian S Redd and the crew reflect on the decisions that have shaped their lives as DJs. One of the biggest themes is connecting with other DJs instead of viewing everyone as competition. Networking has created friendships, support systems, business opportunities, and a way for DJs of different generations to learn from each other.

The conversation also explores embracing new technology instead of immediately dismissing it. From vinyl and CDs to digital music, computers, controllers, modern lighting, and smaller equipment, the technology DJs use has changed dramatically—and being willing to adapt can make the job easier.

Brian discusses why he's glad he invested in premium equipment, not simply for better sound and lighting, but for the reliability and peace of mind dependable equipment provides at an event. He also talks about intentionally choosing smaller events and taking advantage of modern technology to create a lighter, more manageable DJ setup.

It's a conversation about DJ careers, technology, networking, equipment, personal growth, and figuring out what actually makes you happy doing this job.

What DJ decision are YOU happiest you made?

Decide, commit, succeed By Harvey Mackay

President Dwight Eisenhower was raised on a Kansas farm, and he never forgot its lessons. In response to a difficult question put to him at the National Press Club, Eisenhower said it reminded him of an incident in his boyhood. “An old farmer had a cow that we wanted to buy,” Eisenhower recalled, “so we went to visit him and asked about the cow’s pedigree....
