Dec '24Nice one, Sean! Great progress so far.

Dec '24Hey Sean, that's epic congrats!! I think we joined Dark Label around the same time, so reading this has awakened my competitive spirit ;) I think I might be a week or two behind. Let's gooo!

Dec '24@Simon Let's Go Simon, Thank you!P.S. I've got that competitive spirit as well. Might be dangerous awaken it... 😂

Dec '24@Aaron Thanks Aaron for all your guidance!

Dec '24Congrats! So cool that your consistently sending out so many proposals, would love to hear more about that. How early in your casual calls do you talk about potentially working together and sending out a proposal? feel like it takes me longer to get to that point and would love to send 2-3 proposals out a week!

Dec '24@Nick I think some of it has been a build up to this point. A lot of the proposals now that I have been sending out are potential artists that I reached out to in the first and second week. That slow build!

Dec '24Gotta love that momentum model!!! Good stuff man

Dec '24@Pete Thanks for your Social Media audit. Now less people think I'm a chef! 😂

Dec '24Congrats Chris!

Nov '24Right on, Rory!

Nov '24Congrats! One big thing I’ve learned from DL and @James’s outreach replays is to avoid talking about your rates etc. If they ask just tell them “it depends” and give em a big range. Try to get them on a separate sales call to discuss that stuff. Ask about their process and past experiences working with producers so you can discreetly gauge if they’re even someone you can work with on a personal and professional level. Also, just keep it casual and treat it as a chance to connect with an artist you like. Watch those replays, there’s gold in there!

Nov '24@Rory for sure! Sending it here so that it's open for discussion. Hope this helps!https://nickhonchar.notion.site/Casual-Call-Script-To-Proof-Session-1448b5b29f868040aa6ed9c487bab08b?pvs=

Nov '24@Nick can you send it my way too bro

Nov '24Congrats!

Nov '24@Robbie Thanks Robbie! Appreciate that!

Nov '24Awesome! Nice job. I second what Robbie said above + My advice is to remember that the point of the casual call is to get the proof session (if you want to do one with them). So, don’t forget the end goal.

Nov '24Congrats, Michael! I would add this - keep it casual but also take charge of the conversation, in my case I have a casual call script which helps me to go from point A to point Z, can send it your way if you want! Good luck!

Nov '24Congrats G.

Nov '24Awesome stuff man!

Nov '24Congrats! Can someone explain what a momentum model deal is? 😅

Nov '24@Stirling thanks!

Nov '24This is so sick Nick and very inspiring!! Win #1 is particularly interesting and helps me trust my gut when I see someone with talent and drive. may take time but they can make it happen...one little technical quesiton: how do you charge for a demo vs. a fully finished track? do you do the demo hourly, or is it a percentage of the full track fee and they pay the rest if they choose to finish it?

Nov '24@Kevin with win #1 - its not like i didnt have others that I also felt similar to. I have probably had a dozen people I felt this way about... only 2 or 3 are still making music now. The rest fell off for one reason or another. And like i said, this one with the "win" was very hard to work with so its kind of on thin ice too.To answer you demo pricing question - in this case, I have worked with them so much in the past, I really knew a good estimated time it would take to do each demo so I just based the project price off of that average estimate.

Nov '24This is very encouraging to hear. Congratulations on the big wins and the persistence!

Nov '24Congrats Nick! Inspiring stuff

Nov '24Amazing, congratulations Nick. Super inspiring and encouraging to see!

Nov '24Nicky Dubbs, my man

Nov '24lets goooooo

Nov '24Wow, great job Nick!! Btw, what's the name of artist nr. 1? Would love to check out the music!

Nov '24Congrats Nick! Super motivational to hear this. Indeed, gotta trust the process.

Nov '24Great insight Nick and congratulations on the accomplishments!

Nov '24Huge congrats Nick!!!

Nov 'ess sir! great to hear, congrats! 🙏

Nov '24SUPER Congrats Nick!!!!! I really needed to hear this! Glad to know someone "else" with the Elon Musk drive!!!!

Nov '24@Stirling This explains it: Classroom lesson

Nov '24Thanks for sharing Nick! Those are some great wins. Building from the ground up for the first time is one thing... But having something, losing it, and then having to rebuild is an entirely different beast. Kudos to you!

Nov '24@Destry Thanks Destry!

Nov '24Congratulations!

Nov '24Congrats Chris!

Nov '24Great job, Ryan! Congrats

Nov '24Congrats Ryan! 🤑🤑🤑

Oct '24@Joes Cheers!

Oct '24Thanks for the reminder, and congrats on your YouTube success! I watched your latest video a couple of days ago, and really liked how practical and straight to the point it was!

Oct '24@Philip I've listened to a little of the audio book. It was good but definitely triggering since I like doing a lot of different things and I'm stubborn lol. But I totally agree, focusing all of your energy on your main priority or biggest lever in your business is necessary for progress. It takes phases of deep intense focus on a thing to make it happen. I feel like I'm on the right path and seeing people like you succeed in this group definitely helps.

Nov '24Keep it simple!!! Love it. Also that video would WRECK. So good!!!!

Oct '24Super encouraging and really helpful! Thank you @Philip for sharing a bit of your journey and lessons with us. Really appreciate it!

Oct '24@Chris My pleasure mate!

Oct '24that's so awesome Phil, so glad to hear things are goin well for you

Oct '24@Kevin Thanks mate

Oct '24Dude, it was great to read this! I’m still in my first Dark Label weeks and even the idea of doing my first sales calls can seem daunting at times. This reminded me that those calls are really just a tiny stepping stone on a much bigger journey, nothing to be anxious about at all! Let’s gooooo 📈

Oct '24I can’t seem to find the video that matches the thumbnail in your post. What’s the name of your channel? 🤓

Oct '24Man your youtube is one of a kind, all the success well deserved! 37 calls sounds amazing and really scary too tbh.

Oct '24@Rob Thanks man! I remember I did a similar thing month 3 with Dark Label, just organised as many calls as possible all with outreach, I think it was at that point that I started to understand what I was supposed to be doing on calls. They all started to sound the same, clients with the same problems, so now the youtube is just an extension of that, so happy it seems to be working!

Oct '24Great reminder thanks Phil!

Oct '24Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Oct '24Congrats on youtube!! You’re doing incredible! I currently refocusing my energy and cutting out distractions. Thanks for inspiration.

Oct '24@Sivert Cheers man. Really appreciate the support. I think I may do some more like that for sure. The more I talk with people, the more ideas for client problem solving I get. The next video is literally of the back of 50% of last weeks call just being about fear holding people back.

Oct '24 (edited)@Simon That was just a mock up not a real video. Phil was saying that Dark Label should make that video (about him) lol.

Oct '24Thanks for sharing Phil. Super important lesson for everyone here on scaling. It can solve old problems but almost always creates new ones too. And love the video idea, ha! Maybe we can workshop that together.

Oct '24@Chad thanks

Oct '24Nice work man!

Oct '24@James thanks

Oct '24Nice one Hanz!

Oct '24Congrats man!!! I did the same thing with a previous client! I knew she was thinking about doing some more music so i reached out to her to "prompt" her and we locked in 4 songs!Never underestimate the "follow-up"! And as they say, easier to keep a client then get a new one!

Oct '24@Sivert thanks man

Oct '24Congrats @Hänz! That's so encouraging and really insightful!

Oct '24@Chris thanks G.

Oct '24@Michael

Oct '24Congrats! Really motivating to hear that!

Oct '24That’s awesome. Congratulations Joes

Oct '24thanks everybody!

Oct '24I saw that reel and thought: darn I wish I had a project that needs live drums so that I could hire you! Love the aesthetic in your content, the chill vibe. Great stuff!

Oct '24@Isaiah November 13th due date!

Oct '24Nice one Michael! Thanks for sharing

Oct '24@Kyle Thanks so much!

Oct '24@Aaron thanks aaron !

Oct '24 (edited)@Thomas hey thomas, i’m glad you enjoyed the vid :) i’m aspiring to create an opportunity…i’m waiting for an email from em, hopefully entailing something i’m looking forrrrr

Oct '24@Daniel thank you dan!!

Oct '24Great stuff Rob! In most cases I've seen with fellow producers doing sponsored/partnership content the brand has reached out. I've had a couple of them reach out including Spitfire and recently Bandlab. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to DM NI since you have the interaction now and express interest in making more content with them!

Oct '24@Pete hey pete, thanks for the response ! i did reach out yesterday, they replied asking for an email and said they would contact me with more opportunities :)

Oct '24@Robert amazing!! That’s great to hear

Oct '24@Tyler <

Oct '24This is awesome Rob - good stuff!

Oct '24@Christian got it, thankssss!!!

Oct '24@Luke

Oct '24Nice work! I just approached by a few brands for deals—they saw my content and reached out. Seems like brands are always on the lookout for small to medium accounts.I'd suggest making more reels featuring NI stuff if you want to pursue that relationship. Let them see you providing value to them without expectation, and they'll put 2 and 2 together.

Oct '24That’s awesome @Robert!

Sep '24Congrats well done!!

Sep '24Nice one Van!

Sep '24@Van That's amazing!! Way to go, Van! Excited to hear how it goes!

Sep '24🏆

Sep '24So stoked for you man!!!! Way to go!

Sep '24@Elliot and they seemed perfectly fine with paying for a hotel if necessary

Sep '24@Elliot Pending confirmation from my girlfriend they might be crashing with us. If not then they’ll just be responsible for travel expenses

Sep '24Congrats!!

Sep '24So awesome man! Keep it up!

Sep '24Congratulations!

Sep '24Congrats man!

Sep '24Dude that’s awesome! Congrats!

Sep '24Amazing! And good for this artist because any artist would be super lucky to work with you, your beats are a vibe

Sep '24That’s dope!

Oct '24Awesome work man!

Oct '24Thats dope Fred! Excited to hear the project when y’all drop

Oct '24That’s incredible Fred. Congratulations!!!

Oct '24This is awesome. I just joined a week ago but am also starting to fall in love with the idea of sales. Because the Dark Label process is so pure and not pushy / salesy at all!

Oct '24That insane man big congrats!! 🏆

Oct ' dope Fred and congrats. i totally agree, it's shocking how many artists have horrific producer stories. do good work, be a good person, and you're already ahead of 80% of people doing this it seems

Oct '24Incredible bro congrats!!

Oct '24So awesome, Congratulations! Was this the fee for a single project or for multiple songs?

Oct '24That's huge! I hope there are plenty more to come 👊🏾

Oct '24Incredible!! Way to go Fred! 🎉 Super encouraged to hear this and pumped to hear how the rest of the project goes.

Oct '24Nice one @Fred - appreciate you sharing and keep it up! You’re correct… the bar is low. You’ll see how “not saturated” the GREAT producer market is the longer you do this.

Aug '24@Pete yes! do it mate

Aug '24That's awesome man!! Could you possible drop your YouTube channel to give a look at what kind of content you make? Unless you don't wanna share it

Aug '24@Denys Thanks matehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOSMr0XWjguh0Uwd8CatpEg

Aug '24@Daniel Thanks! and awesome idea, I'll do that now thanks Dan!

Aug '24great job :)

Aug '24@Robert thanks mate!

Aug '24@Colleen oh sweet. yeah I think this is gonna be pretty awesome once I can get into a writing and filming routine.

Aug '24Right behind ya hopefully! Super inspiring man! Nice work!!!

Aug '24@James yes!

Aug '24@Joes thanks mate 🙌

Aug '24@Philip 400 subs already is killer!

Aug '24@Philip Amazing! Took me 1-2 years to get a video to pop like that! Love that you’re pushing them to a Skool community as a call to action. I would also give em an easy way to connect with you directly for work as well. ie “if you’re ready to work on something click here or just join my support community by clicking here”. There’s going to be a level of viewer that wants to go straight to a conversation with you. For example… we do “to work with me click here (dark label) or if you’re n... See more
