Lewis Waller asked:
Starting a talent management company can have its share of challenges… for example, while you’re still in your meager beginnings, you haven’t yet been able to establish a good and lasting name for yourself or your talent agency, so you’ve really got no kind of reputation as of yet to speak of in order to fall back upon when things get rough. You might make a slight error in booking or fall shy of a potential client’s expectations of being handed to them the stardom that they are convinced that the world owes them. In your beginnings, if any client becomes slightly dissatisfied in your quality of service, word of it will be freely tossed around through text messages on their (and their friends’) cell phones until it has spread like the plague. This is how your reputation can doom you before you’ve even had the chance to create a good one for your talent agency.
You need to first discover where all the pitfalls are to avoid before you decide to be starting a talent management company, and such knowledge can only come from years of previous experience in this field. So how can anyone conceivably have a chance if they’re only starting to gain a foothold in this type of business? This is perhaps the most awkward paradoxes to overcome in this line of work, and the only way to work around this puzzling conundrum is to take on a mentor - someone who has learned and understood all of the tricks of the trade over the course of many years.
The wise sages to hunt down when starting a talent management company are the people who have had many years, perhaps even decades of hard-earned experience in this industry and have after retirement moved on to the task of tutoring and guiding others along the path who are just beginning careers in this particular niche of the entertainment industry.
