yeah, ALLWAYS be professional dont go up all like "yo dawg, i wanna perform nah mean" try show a buisiness side and sum intelligence, it shows ur serious in your music and are attempting to get a buisiness head on in order to help u make moves, manners play a big part in it aswell, if ur sat in a bar or w/e with a promoter or w/e offer to get the first round in, shake hands but try avoid them stupid little "ghetto" handshakes u do.... what you need to remember is, this is an industry.... a buisiness world, so like any other buisiness you need advertising.... you are your buisiness, ur music ur product, and when companies approach people about advertising the are extremely professional, same goes for any kind of music.

i remember one promoter i met, n when we was talking about the show, dude sounded like he owned a multi-million dollar buisiness, but once that finished n we jus chilled out n enjoyed the bar for the night, he was like sum stoner rasta lol... but it shows, when ppl take the music serious, they take themself serious, and act like they buisiness is serious.
