Lewis Waller asked:
Becoming a talent agent can be the most unstable part of the whole business… I take that back – it IS the most unstable part of it all. When you’ve gotten yourself and your business established and moving along with a modicum of momentum and a bit of success, then things can generally for the most part be less of a bumpy ride, but while you’re just sticking your toes in the water in this field, the slightest mistake can seal your ultimate doom. To use a somewhat exaggerated (though not very unrealistic) example, let’s imagine you’ve found a client who wants a job in modeling, and you book work for her at some sort of grand opening at a shopping mall where she has to wear a full-body suit looking like a teddy-bear… do you think she might become a bit disenchanted with your services?
Further, what do you think she’ll tell her friends (and her friends’ friends) about your business? How fast and far will her reviews of your services spread? How much worse will it become as the story jumps from person to person and degrades in feeling? What kind of a label do you think this would earn for your business? In the end, how long do you suppose your business will survive? Due to the inescapable fact that your reputation is your calling card, the one single dynamic driving force in finding you more clients, you can plainly see how the outcome could be very destructive. This is the reason the very start of becoming a talent agent can be so critical.
However, becoming a talent agent doesn’t need to be accomplished all on your own. Actually, you can reap the benefits of having many years of experience even if you haven’ got a shred of any – you do this by taking on a mentor. Someone who has had years of experience in an illustrious career in this line of work and has now moved on to helping others find their way along the road to success in this field of work.
