While it's perfectly fine to reach out to a library to express your appreciation, contacting them for anything other than praise is generally not recommended. Here’s why:
Expressing Appreciation:
- Positive Interaction: Sending a thank-you note or expressing appreciation for selecting your track is always a good idea. It builds positive relationships and shows your gratitude.
- Building Rapport: A simple message of thanks can help build rapport and leave a lasting positive impression.
Avoid Other Communications:
- Efficiency: Libraries work with That Pitch because it provides a more efficient process for managing and distributing music. Directly contacting the library for other reasons can disrupt this process.
- Professionalism: If a library feels like they are being nagged or bombarded with questions and requests, they may be less likely to select more of your music in the future.
- Respecting Boundaries: Libraries have their own processes and schedules. Respecting these boundaries demonstrates professionalism and emotional intelligence.
General Advice:
- Use That Pitch as Your Channel: For any queries or issues, it’s best to use That Pitch as your communication channel. We are here to handle any questions or concerns you might have and to communicate efficiently with the libraries on your behalf.
- People Skills and Emotional Intelligence: Applying general people skills and emotional intelligence is crucial. Being considerate, respectful, and professional in all your interactions will always work in your favor. 🙂
By following these guidelines, you ensure a smooth and professional relationship with the libraries, increasing the chances of your music being selected and appreciated.
