I had a chance to sit down and talk with Big Jay about his dealings in the industry and here’s what he had to say.
As a well established booking agent what would you say plays into a big part of your success?
I would have to say that it’s my resume it speaks for it’s self.
What is it about the negotiation process that you enjoy?
I enjoy the some what competitive aspect of it both sides aren’t willing to give at first but in the best interest of “the show must go on” it always gets done.
What are some of the most common problems that cause a negotiation to fall apart?
Simply put MONEY!!! It is the all go or no go of negotiations.
What is the most important factor when it comes to a negotiation?
The most important is money followed by mutual understanding and then I would have to say trust.
Are hardball tactics used as a common policy in most negotiations?
Yes definitely. Hardball is the name of the game. Now in other areas of entertainment not so much but hardball plays a big part on either side.
Jay thanks for stopping by and sharing this knowledge with my readers and I. This your boy Markie “Million Dollar” Stacks signing off.
