From the Sound Up✈️ Lesson 10: Who should I build relationships with?

Welcome to Lesson 10!

If you missed the previous lessons, please go back to that email or head over to the course page. http://sounddesignlive.com/from-the-sound-up/

Notes
- The audio industry is built on personal referral.
- To use the spreadsheet:
- - Open this link https://goo.gl/6eJzAk
- - File > Make a copy
- - Bookmark it
- - Open Contacts tab
- Put anyone on here that is important to us and the growth of our business who requires regular one-on-one communication.
- Start with the people that love and care about you. Those who lift you up and energize you.
- - 3-4 family
- - 3-4 close friends
- - coach, mentor
- Then we'll move onto the people directly connected with our business:
- - Current (ideal) clients
- - Past clients
- - Colleagues
- Then we can start adding the people that we want to build relationships with in our new city:
- - Other local sound engineers and related techs (lighting/video, designers)
- - Potential future clients and those who are connected to them. We started identifying them in the last lesson.
- - This is also your chance to build a direct to client business that will give you more autonomy over your work and pay higher fees.

Homework
1. Add 20 contacts to this list using the criteria that we went over.
2. How do you make friends as an adult? Hit reply on this email and tell me some of your thoughts on the subject.

Congratulations on completing lesson 10!
