A Bit of Advice

Most booking agents have hundreds of choices, if you want the job you have a better chance if you compete for it and don't price your self out of consideration before you even get started. Not including a price range with your proposal leaves the booking agent with the choice of wasting valuable time playing a guessing game with you or going for a quick and easy choice of the band that did a good job selling themselves and providing the answers up front.
