FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is based on the event type, date, season, travel distance, ticket price, expected attendance, and more. It's a complicated equation that I try to keep simple because, in my experience, a flat-rate per hour price always seems to short-change someone. I'm always happy to negotiate as a result.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I communicate with about fifteen new customers every day. That's a lot of work, but I am always interested in finding out as much as I can about each potential client's needs and wishes for their event. I confess, since my point of difference is my ability to read a room, interact, and elevate the energy – I do make an effort to encourage my customers to take advantage of that. One of my favorite examples of that (after being hired) was a backyard Tiki Bar party where the party-goers kept taking collections to keep me playing for seven hours straight – without any breaks! (I'll never do that again, but it was FUN! And *every* party can be that much fun.)
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My education comes from 6 decades of the best songs ever written - thousands of hits by hundreds of artists. I've been immersed in it as a professional performer, entertainer, and mentor for 41 years.
