How To Write An Email Like A Pro!

Welcome to episode 41 of the Managemental podcast! This week we’re going to get into how to properly write an email to industry professionals, so let’s get on with it! Tune in for our full commentary on the examples below.   GOOD EXAMPLE:   Hi Blasko,   My name is Michael, and I’m the frontman of the hard rock, progressive metal band, (BAND NAME), based in LA.  I was speaking with Steve Rennie recently and your name came up as we were discussing the music business and managers who are innovating and succeeding on the heavy side of the industry.  He recommended that I shoot you an email (and also says “Hi”, btw).   (BAND NAME) has been building a strong audience both locally and online (over 60k combined) for the past several years, and with the recent release of our new fan funded and self produced album,  followed by a packed house show as main support for (BAND NAME) at the Glass House and a sold out show at The Viper Room in LA, we are seeking a manager with which to partner in the expansion of our business.  We have a well established fan base and brand, a strong live show, social and digital media savvy, and are ready to continue working hard in all aspects of expanding our business.   At your convenience, I would love to discuss the possibility of working together in the future.  You can hear our music and find out more about the band from the links below.  If you have any questions, please let me know and I’ll be happy to provide more info.   Here are some of the top tracks from our two albums:   As well as our EPK with songs available for download:   Thank you for your time!

We are starting to realize the things we need or want to do is at a dead stop do to the lack of knowledge and resources. Hopefully we here from you guys soon!     --- Mike mentions Reman Music & Business in this segment, check it out at https://renmanmb.com Email any questions or comments to [email protected] Find Blasko on Twitter and Instagram: @blasko1313 Find Mike Mowery on Twitter and Instagram: @mikeoloop ManageMental is part of the Jabberjaw Media Network. www.jabberjawmedia.com  Learn more about your ad choices.
