The venue offer sheet talent agents actually take seriously.
A premium, pre-formatted Excel template for sending offers to DJs, bands, and performers. Guarantee, bonus tiers, payment schedule, hospitality rider, and a built-in scenario calculator that pressure-tests every deal before it goes out.
Agents evaluate offers in the first 10 seconds. A well-formatted offer signals a professional venue, which materially affects whether your offer gets accepted, countered, or ignored. This template gives you a premium-looking document in under two minutes, with guardrails that prevent the common mistakes (wrong deposit splits, missing W-9 flag, vague radius clause).
Single-page letter-portrait offer with hero, offer details, financial terms, payment schedule with auto-calculating deposits (20 / 30 / 50), hospitality and production block, venue info, purchaser info, notes, and dual signature lines.
Scenario modeler that computes the artist's payout across five realistic ticket outcomes (soft night, solid turnout, bonus hit, sellout, walkout test) with a best-case / median summary row. All formulas are live, blue cells are your inputs.
A five-step visual walkthrough your first-time user can follow without asking questions. Plus a section on when this spreadsheet stops being enough and what to do next.
Payment schedule deposits, max potential offer, bonus-hit logic, and the scenario grid all recalc cleanly. Change the Guarantee once, the whole offer updates.
Same-day ACH to every artist, automatic W-9 collection at the time you send the offer, approval workflows for your finance team, and a clean sync to QuickBooks so your books close faster after every event.
