As soon as you receive your event details followthese two simple steps:
1. Read them!2. Reply confirming that you’ve received themand you’re all set for the event.
The faster you reply – the more workyou will get in the future!

Early is on time!
Our clients are expecting you at a certain time. If you aren’t there, they worry. Then we worry.
Set multiple alarms and be early at all times.
This applies to all things...Pickup. Setup. Event. Drop Off. Post Production. Dinner.
On time is late!Late can’t happen!

Don’t leave the sales desk or video equipment unattended for extended periods or too frequently.
You can’t sell things if you aren’t there and you can’tkeep your eyes on the gear either.

Make sure order forms are filled outcompletely and legibly.
