SoulJah Bless the Business man!!!



I recently had a talk with John Leon, also known as SoulJah Bless, President of Conscious Mind Records Inc, on the subject of Negotiations and Deal Making. SoulJah Bless partakes in most of the negotiations for our company. Everything from budgets for events, to signing new artist, if a deal is to be made, SoulJah Bless usually is part of it. Judging by our talk I would say that appreciation is one of his biggest tactics. You see SoulJah Bless is a person who appreciates everything in life. So when he is in negotiations, many times his upbeat can do attitude, mixed with his appreciation for the person he is negotiating with, is all it takes to make the deal go good. SoulJah Bless has been one of the major reasons why Conscious Mind Records has been able to maintain its presence of positivity. Souljah Bless say’s he finds it way easier to come to beneficial agreements for all parties when everyone is in a positive mood. The appreciation you show the other person can be the main basis for them doing business with you. One of his other main focuses for negotiating is working toward a mutual benefit for all parties involved. This is key when making deals for C.M.Records because we pride ourselves on fairness. As a leader in one of Florida’s primary entertainment cities, he is in constant deal making mode. He is prepared and always does his research before jumping into a deal making situation. However he say’s there are moments where you stumble onto a good deal, and have to be ready to talk with little to know prep time. When it comes to this then he says the good old fashion respectful conversation will usually do the job! Thank you SoulJah Bless for being such a positive influence on everyone you come in to contact with!!!
