Summary

I’m a professional London-based DJ, singer and live entertainer looking for an experienced entertainment booking / sales / lead-generation specialist to help me build a consistent pipeline of paid work. I have two separate career directions. This role is specifically for my commercial entertainment business, not my artistic career. The aim is simple: Generate better-quality paid bookings and increase my income. Types of work I’m interested in * Bars * Restaurants * Hotels * Corporate events * Weddings * Private parties * Birthdays (* Children’s entertainment)*separate * DJ packages * Live singing * DJ + singer packages * Higher-paying private events * Entertainment companies * International/resort opportunities * European opportunities * Ibiza and other relevant destinations I’m particularly interested in moving away from very low-paying gigs and developing better-paying, repeatable opportunities. What I need you to do I want someone proactive who can: * Research suitable venues and clients. * Build a qualified prospect list. * Contact venues/businesses/event companies. * Write professional outreach emails and messages. * Contact prospects through appropriate channels. * Follow up consistently. * Maintain a CRM/booking spreadsheet. * Track every lead and outcome. * Identify new markets and opportunities. * Help improve my entertainment packages/offers. * Identify opportunities where my DJ + singing combination gives me an advantage. * Research international/resort opportunities where appropriate. * Help turn enquiries into confirmed bookings. I’m open to using email, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, telephone outreach and paid advertising where there is a clear business case. What I DON’T want I don’t want someone who simply: * posts on Instagram * sends generic spam * buys leads * buys followers * uses bots * sends thousands of irrelevant messages * promises unrealistic booking numbers I want qualified prospects and genuine business opportunities. First 30 days I want you to: 1. Review my existing entertainment offering and profiles. 2. Identify the best target markets. 3. Help refine my packages/positioning if necessary. 4. Build a qualified prospect database. 5. Begin targeted outreach. 6. Follow up systematically. 7. Track responses. 8. Identify which markets are producing the best opportunities. 9. Report back on activity, responses, enquiries and bookings. First 60 days The aim is to establish a repeatable booking pipeline. I want measurable numbers for: * qualified prospects contacted * responses * conversations * enquiries * auditions/opportunities * confirmed bookings * booking value * repeat opportunities Performance-based pay I’m open to a base fee plus performance bonuses for measurable results. For example, I would consider an agreed bonus for bookings that can be directly attributed to your work. I’m also happy to discuss a 30-day trial before committing long term. Who I’m looking for Please only apply if you have genuine experience in: * entertainment bookings * sales * lead generation * event businesses * hospitality sales * talent/artist bookings * DJ/singer/event promotion * or a closely related field. Please include in your proposal 1. Your relevant experience. 2. Examples of entertainers/businesses you’ve generated work for. 3. Actual results where possible. 4. How you generated those results. 5. How many prospects you could realistically research/contact each week. 6. Which outreach methods you would use. 7. Your proposed first 30 days. 8. How many hours per week you recommend. 9. Your hourly rate or monthly proposal. 10. Whether you are open to a 30-day trial. 11. Whether you are open to a base fee plus performance bonus. Please don’t send a generic sales proposal. Tell me specifically how you would approach getting a London-based DJ/singer better-paying work.
