I didn't plan for this. Really, the DJ just came over for computer help. He had some questions about external hard drives and his new/used macbook. So we got into conversation and I noticed he bought serato for DJing parties. Now I've known this guy for awhile and spending money wasn't one of his strong points.Watching him work the DJ software though got me thinking and after he answered my "How do you plan to rock your next party?" question, I was sold. This DJ is ready to make some real money.

Now here's the strange part. I immediately jumped into my elevator pitch: The purpose of my site, it's traffic numbers (clearly shown on the middle left) per month. My classified section and the ad section with my fee per month/impressions. I even explained what impressions mean. When we were done, on his way out my house, he turned back and said "thanks" and asked if we could work something out later! What a rush! People in the music world rarely see an opportunity when it presents itself. That's why managers and A&R still have a job...

How does your pitch go? What works best in your experiences?
