In last month’s post I discussed the importance of having regular (monthly) meetings with your staff. And I know from talking to other business owners that “content” is a big concern. Will we have enough to talk about to meet that often?
One of the ways I alleviate that issue is I [...]

Let’s Talk About Sets
The Importance of Holding Staff Meetings
by Mike Walter
A good friend of mine owns a pretty big Multi-Op. We were talking a few years ago and he said something about communicating an idea to his staff and how tough it can be. I said, “Do it at your next meeting.”
And he went, “What meeting?”
I was floored! I couldn’t believe [...]
Training Your DJs to Do Bridal Party Intros

Hosting An Open House for DJs
About a month ago I offered some ways to find potential talent, or as I like to call it, “casting the net.” Once you’ve made that phone ring, the next step is just as essential. It’s important to weed out the people who came across well on the phone but [...]
Overcoming Multi-Op Road Blocks
I’ve been writing articles for The Disc Jockey News for years now and every once in a while I’ll get an email with a response. A question or a comment. When Stacy asked me to start contributing to this site she told me that readers could leave comments right under my articles. This seemed more immediate than [...]
The Quality Corner: Casting the Net for DJ Recruits
Two millennia ago, Jesus Christ told his early followers, “I will make you fishers of men.” He was confident he could teach his disciples to “recruit” successfully and today, two thousand years later, about a third of the world’s population counts themselves as Christian. That’s approximately two billion people. I’d say the disciples did [...]

Note: This is the first post in a new monthly column entitled “The Quality Corner” by Mike Walter.
So Stacy Zemon tells me she’s doing this blog thing. Asks me if I want to be a contributing writer. I say sure. I’ve known Stacy for years and respect the many contributions she’s made to our industry. [...]
