How does One Call work?

Clientele:

You can view an individual talent’s profile or band profile and contact them freely. As long as the individual talent or bands are getting paid their required asking rate, you are free to book them as you see fit.

In regards to a work request, you will be asked four major questions.

1.) Location of Event

2.) Genre/Style of Event

3.) Date of the Event

4.) Pricing per individual or band

The site will query the database, and you can send one email to the entire database that your information applies to. Based on your responses, you can book any talent as you see fit.

Individual or Band Talent:

You can re-negotiate as many times as you want until you either cancel the Negotiation or Accept the Offer. If you accept the offer, you are 100% obligated to follow through with your agreement.
