Agent- A person authorised as an act on another behalf
why - becuase i have other things to do.
PRO'S
- promo pack i have already created - what do i do with them- they can do it for me.
- deal with publishers etc - they have to confidence, actively promoting you.
- begining is when your approached by people seeing your work.
- sercuity and authority - client might be less inclined to mess you about. thinking you don't know everything- a agent wouldn't allow this.
- they know the people i need to be talking to- who would want my type of practice.
- advice.
- a point of contact for clients - if you hate dicussing fees, contacts, conditions etc
- can have a agent for a specific contact time
- they are committed
- get your work seen
- concentrate more of your time being creative
- you can insiste of talking to the client aswell
CONS
- the middle man feeling - no longer incharge yourself. -not 100% sure of what is being said on your behalf
- contacts are hard to make - might feel your loosing relationship with client personally, cant informally take to them about what they want.
- what would you rather have - 30% of commission price or 100% or no commissions?
- you have to find your own.
- to get a agent you have got to have something they want to sell.
get to know your worth.
