Bar Mitzvah DJ (9)

Original Internet Ad:
We are looking for an experienced DJ for our son’s bar mitzvah in mid-december. We are looking to spend about $300. You must bring your own supplies and music.

If you are interested please contact us and also have a reference email us.

Negotiation Strategy:
Didn’t think I’d even need to negotiate since everyone knows I’m the best DJ in town. Oh well, looking forward to some partying though!

Shalom,

I am interested in this job. I can offer you several entertainment packages but my “going rate” is $500. When and where is the party?!? I would need to check my availability.

Ned Wingfield

Hi Ned,

We don’t want to spend more than $300. If it goes well we will be happy to tip afterwards. Tell us a bit about yourself and your DJ experience. i.e. How many bar mitzvah’s have you done. The party is on December 16th at the ****** center. Are you availible then?

Thanks!

Julie

Shalom Julie,

$400 is fine then. I’ve rocked numerous bar mitzvahs and at my last event, I ‘burned the house down’ by setting the ‘roof on fire’. I actually specialize in DJing at the local community center. My friend Mark teaches women’s floor hockey there occasionally and he unlocks the music room for me. So I have quite a bit of practice. I will get Mark to serve as a reference.

I own 2 strobe lights, a dvd player, and a cassette of “Top 2k4 Party Mixes”.

I also have a ton of prizes to give out during the dancing if you are interested in purchasing them. I have a ton of stuffed animals ranging in size and ferocity.

Hi Ned,

Thanks for your interest but I tihnk my husband and I are looking for someone with a bit mroe experience,

Julie

Shalom Julie,

What do you mean? I have 4 years of experience with DJing. I mean, you don’t want to make the mistake of hiring a crap DJ…no offense. My reference should be emailing you shortly, he’s just tied up at the moment.

Thanks for reconsidering,

Ned

Ned,

I admire your persistence but unfortunately the position has already been filled. My sister found a guy who DJayed at her daughters best friend’s bat mitzvah. Thank you for your interest though!

Warmest regards,

Julie

Shalom Julie,

I appreciate the opportunity and am sorry things didn’t work out. Anyways, thanks for the invite, see you on the 16th!

Ned

What do you mean “See you on the 16th”

Hey Julia!

Ned wanted me to contact you regarding the Jew party your throwing down on the 16th. He is a great DJ and some say the best. Hope your serving up some of that matzah ball soup. Also, is it ok if I bring a date. Just thought I’d be a little polite and ask first. Looking forward to meetign you and congrats on finding my good pal Ned!

Yours,

Mark Sennis
