Not creepy. Strategic.
Here's why it workedโฆ.
I was organizing events in San Francisco and kept going to this ONE guy's parties.
The crowd was PERFECT. Energy was INCREDIBLE. Beautiful people. Great locations.
โฆand the Parties were Always ON FIRE!
I thought: "I NEED to work with this guy."
But he had his own restaurant and club. He was successful.
โฆ.๐๐ก๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฆ๐???....
So I watched him VERY CAREFULLY.
๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐:
-- What kind of crowd did he attract?
-- What was he picky about?
-- What did he value?
โ What was MORE important than anything else?
โ How did he have a Line Out The Door Where Many ppl. Did Not Even Get IN?
I found out:
....Not only was he EXTREMELY ANTI-DRUGS at his events.....Anyone caught was IMMEDIATELY kicked out.
โฆHe knew how to Attract The Right Crowd with the Right Attitude
โฆAnd he Created an Energy And Excitement for His Parties that NOBODYโฆ NOOOOBODY in San Francisco could EQUAL..
I set out on a Mission to Emulate himโฆ Maybe Even Become Better than him..
โฆ.๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ โMyโ Focusโฆ
๐๐ก๐๐ง ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐:
I had access to the SCANDINAVIAN COMMUNITY in San Francisco through the Young Scandinavian Club and My own connections.
Good-looking, WELL-BEHAVED, FUN PEOPLEโฆ.who ALL Loved to PARTY!
I approached him: "Let me throw NORWAY'S CONSTITUTION DAY (May 17th) party at your place?"
He agreed.
I brought 600+ WELL-DRESSED, WELL-BEHAVED SCANDINAVIANS to his club, Who
All loved to Drink and Party Downโฆ.
โฆ.๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐โฆ.
The crowd was EXACTLY what he loved.
๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ง'๐ญ ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐:
My girlfriend and I invited him and his wife to OUR HOUSE for dinner.
We got to know each other as PEOPLE, not just business contacts.
We became FRIENDS, Very Good Friendsโฆ. Then BUSINESS PARTNERS.
That relationship led to some of the BIGGEST PARTIES in San Francisco.
โฆ.๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ข๐ง๐ Amazing ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญs at the Top Hotels in SF: The Fairmont Hotel (where the King and Queen of Norway would stay, when in SF), The Hilton, The St. Regis Event Center..the List goes onโฆ.
I also did pre-parties at his CLUB/RESTAURANT with 400 people, then 8 buses to attend a Gipsy Kings concert.
He knew the MANAGER OF THE GYPSY KINGS (the world's most popular band in the 1980/90s), which opened even more doors.
All because I did my homework FIRST.
After 22 years organizing events, here's what I learned:
๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐จ๐ง'๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ "๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฌ."
You STUDY who runs them. You LEARN what they care about. You SHOW them you can DELIVER what they want. Then you BUILD A REAL RELATIONSHIP.
The best venue deals don't come from cold emails.
