[nabs-l] Checking E-mail

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Josh, and everyone,

If I were hiring a concert promoter you're the kind of person I'd give 
strong consideration to. It's all a part of integrity; a subject discussed 
during this year's Employment Seminar at the national convention. The 
Kingsmen Quartet is great. We've heard them sing at a church we once 
attended in Cedar Park Texas. Have you also heard the Cathedral Quartet? 
Blessings.

Peter, I'll put my entire life out there, on this list.
I'm a Gospel Music promoter, that tries to promote groups, in this area.
I also try to get other nationally known, and local groups, in my
state, to come to my hometown.
In promotion, if I send the manager of the Kingsmen Quartet, (for
example,) an E-mail, about booking them for a concert, they have 2
days to respond.
If the manager doesn't respond to the promoter, I'd consider them
unprofessional, and I won't consider promoting them.
I've turned down, many good groups, because of this lack of communication.
They may have a professional sound, but the way they handle business
is not professional.
This is also true, in other aspects.
For instance, the people in charge say, that a concert starts at 7 PM.
I get there, and help set up, but the concert doesn't start, until 8.
That's not professional, either.
I have a policy, that if I promote your concert/event, it better start
on time, and end on time!
I'm tired of late beginnings, and late endings.
Also, poor sound quality.
This should go to the performance Talk list, but I'm just telling you
what I go through, so you'll know why I react the way I do, sometimes.
I worry about people, if they don't respond, in a given amount of time.
I'm not trying to seem impatient, I'm just concerned about them.
This is a day, in my life, as a student, a promoter, and a normal person.
BTW, I have 58 pages to read, in World Literature, and I have to
listen to another chapter for Western Civ, but I always check my
E-mails.
I check them 6, to 7 times a day, to make sure I don't miss anything.
I expect that, from others, if possible.
This also goes to another pet peeve.
I have this Western Civ instructor, that says, that the most
accessible way to contact him, is through E-mail.
Well, I E-mailed him, 2 weeks ago, but I still haven't heard from him.
I hate it, when that happens.
Blessings, Joshua
