I'll hold bookings for a day
I had 3 clients last week, after a choice of 3 dates - I somehow managed to juggle them all into position, but at one point they all wanted the same one, and it would have gone to whoever had secured a venue first. |

We tell everyone up front that we will not lock in a date without our signed Technical Rider and deposit back. If we get another call for the same date, then we call back person "A" and give them 24 hours to lock it in or they could lose it. We also try very hard to work with both clients to find different dates that would be a win win for everyone. Many times this works very well. Of course there are those times that we have to turn down one or the other because neither can change their date. This happens more at Christmas time however we actually had this happen for next Tuesday 1/18 where they both needed the same day one at 5:00 PM and the other at 7:30 PM and they were two hours away from each other.

Will hold a telephone number for a day and call 'em back to ask them to make a decision if someone else wants it. It's made clear to them the number will be deleted after a day.
Diaries / availabilities online? No, I would NEVER let any other local entertainer know our personal business; and as we are all on Google Maps these days with a big red pointer over the top of our houses and a camera car having taken a photo too, we'd NEVER let anyone know when we're in our out. Fortunately there are usually a few cars on our driveway (living in a Cheshire mansion having made a fortune out of parties as Tony James describes above, cough, cough) so that is a good thing too.
