Sometimes you can be so focused on getting the gig, swinging the deal, being a star or grabbing the center of attention, that your basic people skills go flying out the window, along with untapped potential and unexplored opportunities to engage those very things you crave at the core of your dreams.
Keys to Open Doors
There are a few often overlooked keys that can help you open doors of opportunity while also helping you build and strengthen relationships as you make connections. Many of these keys will seem obvious and absurdly simple. But, it’s amazing how often they’re overlooked or get lost in the scramble to be noticed.
As you pursue your singing success, you will interact with a lot of people that serve to protect those that are in a position to advance your career. All too often these people are brushed aside or are even looked down on by aspiring singers, singer-songwriters, and singing musicians.

Honor + Encourage
The first key to remember is to honor and encourage each person you meet. For example, let’s say you want to get a meeting with a particular booking agent or artist manager. But there are people that serve as gatekeepers or screeners that you have to deal with. You must remember that anyone you encounter might potentially open a door for you – maybe not right away, but somewhere down the road at a critical crossroad. One thing is for certain – they can close a door and keep it locked if you’re perceived as a threat.
Open With Respect
So, always be friendly, open, and respectful. You don’t want a self-serving, negative attitude or some condescending behavior to be a deal breaker or something that adds an additional obstacle to block your path to success. Think of each person you meet as a potential fan or personal advocate for your artistry.
Sure, you will meet a lot of jerks and creeps and otherwise unpleasant people along the way. When you encounter any negative types, be patient, and be friendly but guarded. But whatever you do, resist any urge to feed the negative behavior by serving it up or slinging it back. Keep your cool, and move on.
