We recently connected with Willis Buie and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Willis thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. So, let’s start with a hypothetical – what would you change about the educational system?
I think the educational system doesn’t actually prepare anyone for real life financial literacy. Learning taxes, personal finance and ways to start/operate a small business would be remarkable. I think it honestly would change the financial make up of the entire country. Most people have no idea about taxes, the stock market, business ownership and the many avenues to learning about it. You would have to pay for this education when in fact, it should be free and taught to everyone. This would, in my opinion, help level out the playing field and give everyone the same opportunities to succeed.
Willis, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I’ve been DJing for almost 15 years and have owned my own DJ company for almost 7. Mainly, we do weddings, but also any type of event you can imagine. The best part of what I do is that when we show up, we’re there to give everyone a good time. To see people on their best day or to be a part of the reason their day got better is an amazing feeling. We take the time out, when possible, to really get to know our clients. Makes the experience so much better when there is a real connection and it’s not just cut and dry business.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
Work ethic and personality. That simple really. People know that I’m going to bring the best we have to offer and then some and do it with a smile. We’re DJs! haha. We should be fun to be around!
Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?
I was told a long time ago that you are your best business card. So the best way to grow clientele is to be great. You being great gets people to spreading the good word.
