Mike Wieder is the author of Be The Difference Maker: A Blueprint for Transforming DJs into Entertainers. (available at http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/be_the_difference_maker) Mike’s company is Ultimate Sounds Entertainment. They serve New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Mike’s been in the industry for over 37 years, he’s delivered seminars, and is highly regarded as an expert in the entertainment industry for all types of events. Mike is commitment to delight guests and go the extra mile. When I first read his book, I found myself highlighting sections where Mike found ways to surprise his clients. For instance, he once heard a couple mention Buffalo Wild Wings -- so on their wedding day, picked up and order, asked the catering staff to keep it warm, and served it to them before dinner.  It’s moments like this that create raving fans and have people talk about your work.  Connect with Mike https://www.facebook.com/ultimatesoundsentertainment/ https://www.facebook.com/ultimatesoundsdjs https://www.instagram.com/ultsnds/ http://ultimatesoundsentertainment.com Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/proweddingdj/ Free Guides and Resources Two easy ways to download FREE Wedding DJ action guides https://weddingdjschool.com/podcast Text WEDDINGDJ to 44222 to let us know your best email address to send the action guide PDF Listen and Subscribe on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wedding-dj-school-podcast/id1459630309 Listen and Subscribe on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/21EjKAOuPvql90EubJ24Ly?si=1yd_SjlARTmq9zbhZam-Iw Watch and Subscribe on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6yxxd0Sdso_c9SVLwKP9og
