First Song booked with the DL Method
I got a call with a new client yesterday. She heard from me through a recommendation of an artist I work with a lot and asked me if I’d produce her new single. I applied the SSF during our call (and messed up a lot of different parts of it but it was my first haha) and managed to close the sale with my new established rates ! I’m really stoked I was able to change the mindset around money and selling over the past few weeks, I have some other calls lined up and hope to learn from those mistakes ... See more

  Mar '25Hey Nick, that's awesome! I totally know what it's like messing up the SSF haha but it really gets so much easier after just a few repetitions. Feel free to hit me up if you want to do a practice sales call - I can pretend to be a potential client!

Proof that the DL method works!
Hey guys I wanted to share a win I just got today. Had an artist reach out to me via TikTok off the back of my content I do on there. Most of my clients come through either TikTok/Instagram etc. Anyway, they sent me a DM as they wanted to know more and from the start they said their budget was only around $200 - $300 for full production. I explained that was way below what my current rate is. But I asked for a demo of the song anyway on email and I was blown away by their vocal and song. So I rea... See more

Sharing some wins! 💵
I’d like to share a few wins with you today. Since I started with Dark Label a few months ago, we’ve already achieved two very important goals for me! Generating 5k per month and having at least 4 or 5 students purchasing my highest-priced 1:1 class packages. All this time, I’ve been implementing exactly what Daniel advised, without any fear of raising my prices. Today, I have three artists I’m working with more exclusively, and I was able to break the barrier of charging 450 euros per track to now... See more

  Mar '25@Simon yes, well when I start the management I already had some clients and “stability” but I wanted to increase that :). I was charging for years 450 per track and braking that barrier to 1000 changed everything but of course the new price comes with new a better services :)

Content/Inbound Win
Just got off an SSF follow up call where I closed a project with an inbound lead generated from content! It's the first time I've closed a project through inbound so I'm excited about it. Outreach is still my main focus at the moment because I have more control over it but I'd eventually like to have a bit of a balance between outbound and inbound lead generation. This feels like a good baby-step in that direction. Shoutout Pete for sharing all his content knowledge! Shoutout Daniel, Aaron, and Ja... See more

Steven28 Feb 2025
You never know
Wanted to share a funny win that happened because of doing outreach. Funny because it started quite badly: found an artist that made music I liked, we scheduled a first casual call which he missed, followed by a second one which I thought went bad because he looked bored with the conversation. I still sent him some tracks as references afterwards though (client work seemed to be out of his reach for financial reasons at the moment so he was looking for free collaborators). A couple of days go by...... See more

Still a win I guess!
Hey there, Just had a call with an artist I already worked with. Got her on the phone because she told me she wanted to make a new track from scratch with me (last time was a beat I had already made that she wanted new drums on). Tried to apply the SSF method for the first time... obviously it takes practice! Was a great opportunity to get my feet wet I guess. Still accepted my offer though, even if it felt difficult on my side! I guess the fact that she already wanted to work with me stirred the c... See more

  Feb '25Absolutely a win! I’m having the same experience talking to existing clients, I feel much more self confident and less awkward now when selling to them. Following the sales framework doesn’t only justify my price towards the client, but it also gives me reassurance. There’s a voice in my head now saying “yeah that’s definitely the price I’m gonna be charging from now on, because look at all the problems I’m solving for you”.

  Feb '25Great work man! Totally normal for it to feel clunky at first. Had one person tell me it felt like an interview on one of my early sales calls hahah! You get more natural for sure

Choppy at first, but ended up a win!
Hey everyone, wanted to share a recent win. Applying what I've learned from DL helped me save this opportunity tremendously. Last month I got an inbound lead- a gigging violinist, 20-something college student that wanted to record covers to use for their social media promo. We scheduled a call and I used the SSF, but made a couple mistakes during our call: Misquoted. Went really far over my base price in my proposal because I thought I had to cover my transportation time. Proposed a much higher rat... See more

First TWO sales with the Dark Label System
It happened! I did it! Locked in my first two sales this week - and collected payments too :) The first artist is hiring me to do a six-track EP. Initially, I hoped she’d hire me for the entire process -writing, production, and mixing - but after discussing it, we agreed that I’ll only be producing instrumentals. That means I’m not invoicing quite as much as I had hoped, but based on our proof session, I’m confident it’ll land at a pretty crazy 3x or 4x my minimum hourly rate. Happy days! For the ... See more

I got my first cold outreach client!
It happened! I finally got my first official cold outreach client. An artist from New York who I reached out to some time in November 2024. She responded to my initial message weeks later out of the blue and after two calls we locked in 3 songs of a possible 4-5 song EP she wants to build up to. Payment collected and project started. I was so shocked about locking in that project on the second call after just chatting for 30mins in the prior call I almost started to stumble. Trust the process I ... See more

  Feb '25@Simon For sure! I feel like that was way easier even. I feel like a lot of the people I worked with in the past are so fed up from that whole session game as well and a lot of them were very happy about someone guiding them a little bit. I mean a good chunk still declined, but the trust was already there so it was just a bunch of SSF conversations!

First song pitched to a major label artist!
Hi friends, I hope this note finds you all doing great and having a great week. tbh this last few weeks have been pretty sucky for me, but I am proud and grateful for one big win... For the first time, I had a song I wrote and produced pitched to a major label for a lead; the A&R person on the publishing side said they were really happy and felt confident doing the pitch with my song, which made me feel really good. Even if this doesn't move forward in any way this was kind of a big moment for me, ... See more

Inbound offers and full asking price
Hey! This is a weird one cause it feels like a win, even though I'm not getting work. Have had a couple of inbound leads come through and have quoted my full price or discounted (but still above my minimum for economics) and have had people turn me down!! Which is great because before DL I'd drop prices to get every bit of work I could and then regret the project because I'd severely under quoted. It reminds me of the quote "if no one says no to your offer you're charging too little". Also happy new years!

New sale using the Dark Label framework
Thought I'd share this win with you all! This past week I've closed a new one song project with a previous client at a total of $2050, using some of the tactics that I've picked up from Dark Label so far. The other song we did together earlier was at a total of $1300, but this time I focused on creating additional value throughout the process and making sure that came through clearly in the proposal, and by explaining that my rates therefore will be different from the first song we did.

  Jan '25@Sivert Thank you! I’d say the main differences for this project vs the previous one, was that that I made the whole process a lot more personalized and hands on. I included a pre-production call at the start to recap the objectives for the project and to go through references together, and offered additional calls throughout as needed which I had only done sparsely before.I also set out a fixed time frame to complete the project instead of having a set amount of revisions in the proposal...

First Sales Meeting Win!
Yesterday evening I had my first in-person SSF meeting and it went super well. The artist is highly motivated to work with me and wants to do 4-6 Songs this year and even an Album further down the road. He would prefer to work with me over an other producer who's literally 10x cheaper. He still has to figure out the financial part on his side and we will see... Even though the deal isn't closed yet it's a big personal win for me and proves that the Darklabel approach of added (and communicated) v... See more

$18K Project
This win came from a client that I've worked with before in the past. It's a 10 song spoken word project that the artist wants to submit to the Grammys next year. After I explained to her the purpose and benefit of the waterfall strategy, releasing multiple singles to introduce the album, she was all in. I first told @Daniel about this project last year when I sent over the proposal and as he predicted it took awhile to close (6 months.) This is the 2nd repeat client I've closed so I'm d... See more

  Jan '25 (edited)@Nick This is very possible and I didn't even try to sell it. She was pushing for the close in the middle of the call. So yeah, this makes me think we that can do even more.

First 2 Clients signed from DL method
First few projects underway from DL cold outreach method! 2 new artists, 3 new songs. Both artists are local, solid musically and should be great additions to the portfolio. I think it took me a minute to believe in myself throughout this process, but the reps, timing and mindset aligned for the start of a good month. Big thanks to @Daniel , @James , and @Aaron for all your help working through my personal pitfalls, and pushing me along! I appreciate all of you that helped in our calls around mindset and sales. I'm ready for the snowball to keep rolling rolling rolling

Inbound Win
So this morning i woke up to an email from an artist in Turkey who through my website reached out wanting to find out more about working together! After a quick reply, got some info and jumped on a call today, he's agreed to work with me on this song which i'm super excited about cause it's in my favourite genre Cinematic! AND he's doing it at the price i would usually charge Locally, so i'm still not loosing out AAAND he's keen to discuss future songs if this goes well (insert Momentum model ;) ... See more

Production teaching win
Hey guys I had a little win the other day: A local music teacher and professional bassplayer started taking one-on-one production classes with me. He plays in a band for a female dancehall singer and wants to pitch some beats for her new album. He also wants to learn so he can do some production workshops with the kids at his school. And the best part is that the school he works for is paying for the classes :)
