I promoted at several of Hollywood’s hottest clubs during a period of unemployment, mainly to see what all of the fuss was about. While it was fun and definitely had its perks, it also confirmed quite a few of the suspicions and stereotypes I’d previously held about how the industry works.
Please send your pic and phone number, better yet just stop by....
Ok I'm kidding. Apply to places in person. If you are a good as you sound, they'll hire you.
Thanks sir or madam. I couldn't agree more. It's about time Xander The Promoter became Xander the Life Coach. Like Oprah, all the best ones have a single name.
Depends on your area/city. You don't have a lot of negotiating power as a promoter at least at the beginning.
Bringing hot girls is the ultimate thank you. Or buying bottles from him. It's rare to tip but it's nice when it happens. It's like anything in life, money talks.
If you are getting a table, then advanced notice is great. If not, the promoter doesn't care, just show up and hope the door guy let's you in.

The places I went to in Sydney didn't use promoters. Not sure if that's standard there. Start talking to people and you'll figure it out.
Animate people? That's what the drugs and alcohol are for.
I'm unfamilar that but was my nickname in high school
(Continued) ... And wants to keep us as clients for the future. Should I send a thank you gift after the party? Or should I just keep going to his events? Does he expect anything at all? I only ask because even though it's predominantly girls he helped get a few guy friends in for free, and I've only met him recently. Thanks, in advance, for the advice!"
Yeah sounds like he wants you as a client. I would be dumbfounded if a girl gave me a gift. I'm certain he doesn't expect one. Going to his events and bringing attractive girls is the best thank you that you can give a promoter. Ok 2nd best.
