"Approach Your Performing Career Confidently Each Day, with Immediate Access to Savvy Industry Advice and Strategies that Maximize Your Talent and Grow Your Audience. Turn Your Ideas Into Achievable Action Plans that Get You the Gigs, the Media, and the Audience You Desire."

As a self-booking, self-managed musician and performing artist, you are often faced with new opportunities that could boost your career development—but, you may not know how to take advantage of them. Other times you may be confronted with situations that challenge your current level of industry experience and business know-how—but, you don't have someone to ask how to achieve the best results?"

As a creative artist, you are concerned with balancing your time between developing your art and paying attention to the details of growing your business so you keep the money coming in. Finding time to also research new opportunities for performing, marketing, promotion, creative collaborations and funding to fuel your projects, can be demanding.

I had similar feelings of being overwhelmed by details and a lack of industry knowledge when I began working as a booking agent and then as a manager for a few performers. For years I worked in a vacuum. I assumed there was no one I could turn to for insights into the industry or to learn from their years of experience. And, at the time, the industry was so different, that there were few, if any resources or mentors available.

As a musician and performing artist, new to a performing career or moving through a different phase of growing your career, at times, you may express your sense of isolation, frustration and acknowledge your lack of industry information.

With support, you could shave years off your learning curve and save time and money experimenting with marketing or planning tours that are expensive to execute with little audience building power.

Now there is Manager-In-A-Box

Artists looking for answers, insights and access to timely information that could ease their lives and rapidly grow their careers, inspired me to start my Manager-In-A-Box consulting program.

After 20 years of booking tours around the world, negotiating record deals and performance contracts, working with independent and major record labels; I wanted to put my years of experience to use, where it could benefit those with the most need—the independent artist—you.

I thought, if only I could help move you along in developing your career, saving you time and money that would be a great use of my talent and expertise.

For the past 10 years, my Manager-In-A-Box consulting programs have helped musicians and performing artists in all genres of music and in all fields of the performing arts. It has been a thrill for me to see artists with such talent and commitment to their art, explode to the next level of their performing career.

Manager-In-A-Box Program Benefits

And now Manager-In-A-Box Memberships are loaded with 6 New Career-Boosting Benefits to give you even more information, career development tools, and access to insights from industry professionals.

Here are 6 ways to make your work with me even more valuable to you. Benefit # 1 may be particularly exciting. I know taking notes at a feverish pace during a phone consult can be distracting and may even cause you to lose your train of thought for your next question. Now…

Benefit # 1: Each call will be recorded and made into an MP3. You will receive an email with a link the next day so you may download your consult. Then you can listen to the call as often as you like—share it with group members and partners so everyone is on the same page. Load it onto your iPod and listen on the way to your gigs, or while running errands. And, if you are in the US—I’ll call you.

Benefit # 2: Whether in the US or not—we can use Skype.com for our calls and if you have a video camera on your computer, we can have a video call. And now we can even record our Skype.com calls. Oh, and the calls are FREE Skype.com to Skype.com members. I love having coffee and seeing the surroundings of my Skype.com members.

Benefit # 3: Get 10 email questions with each membership Premium and above. OR

Benefit # 4: Trade your 10 emails for another full 1 hour phone call. Would you rather talk? Trade them!

Benefit # 5: Upgrade from a current plan to the next level up. If you choose to upgrade to the next plan—you can roll the old plan into the new. Pay only the difference of the upgrade.

It’s good to ease into something and test it out, try it on and see if it works for you. I wouldn’t want you to jump into a huge commitment and find out you didn’t get what you intended from the experience. So it’s best to test the waters, start with a phone consult perhaps—if it works for you, then you have an opportunity to upgrade to the next level.

Benefit # 6: You will be sent advance notice of upcoming Tele-Classes for prime registration slots and the best thing yet—whatever the cost of the Tele-class, (unless a Free Class), as a Manager-In-A-Box member, you pay only $1.00 to join in on the call. And if you miss the call, it will be recorded and you will be able to listen at your convenience online for free or download the call for $5.00 for 7 days. After that it will be $10 to download.

As a Manager-In-A-Box member, you will get advance notice and a special sign up time and a discount on all Tele-Seminars and Online Courses.

"Jeri, Thanks for your great insights and suggestions in our phone consultation a few days ago. Jane and I really appreciate your amazing ability to take our essential questions and turn them into a potent, focused approach to the music industry.

Having your book (which is the most detailed and informative we have encountered) to reflect upon before we called was really helpful, and allowed us to narrow the focus. Even though you charged us for one hour, your suggestion that clients e-mail questions in advance really gives clients the benefit of more of your time since you obviously thought our questions over in depth before our phone call!

The service you provide offers an astounding advantage to musicians! We plan to continue to consult with you as things develop! Again,a HUGE thanks for pointing the way!"
