the unofficial telephone thread

[swaptrex]

i think we as dj's should have a thread devoted to the telephone, by this i mean this thread should contain-

*what to do after the number close and problems often seen

*experiences with girls when it comes to the phone

*advice to other dj's for all phone related activity

*what to do about phone games and why girls play them

*voicemails

*etc


i will start by saying the phone is my number one weakness when speaking of girls, i dislike it very much. i also wish the bs with most girls in the beginning could be put aside and we could all act like adults. i always have a problem with this: say i get a girls number and had good raport with that girl. i call her two to three days later(thanks dj's) and don't set up anything with her yet for certain reasons. how long should i wait to make the second call? without seeming desperate? i think i don't call girls enough when i make something with them, i always say "i'll call the next day" and that turns into two weeks and then it is to late. i am not nervous, just hate talking on the phone and hate leaving messages. also when you leave a message, i suppose it is short and brief and what should be said? should a deep voice be used?

All of this is contained in the DJ bible.

"thread" not a "forum" not so much a request just an idea.

The DJ Bible is fairly exhaustive regarding phone activity. I don't think that there is much to be added since proper DJing shouldn't really rely on the phone except to set-up real life meetings, at least during the attraction stage. There is little new information that would be really helpful.
