[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 97548, member: 30"] Re: What is your competition like? Exactly! I never did any advertising when I was in the rental part of this industry. It was all word of mouth and doing a good job. People hired me-not because of my gear-but rather the job that we did for them-with whatever gear we brought. For most people that actually do the hiring-all they are interested in is a smooth running event-whatever it takes to do that. Then they look good and that is all they care about. However not all gigs went smooth-and most of the time it was the fault of the artists-like the time a MAJOR 70's group made me look by by delaying the show over 30 minutes-because the monitor guy and FOH guy each had DIFFERENT input lists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But no amount of explaining to the people hiring-all they knew is that my sound company was running around confused when the "stars" were getting ready to play. I would like to slap the monitor guy for giving me the 24 channel list when I had a 48 channel sitting in front of him!!!!!!! Yes I lost that gig next year-even though every other band on the multiday festival went great. [/QUOTE]
