AGENTS/MANAGERS

Many people do not understand the difference between agents and managers. We hope this section will give you a clearer understanding of these representatives as well as an appreciation for when they are necessary for your business.

Remember, an agent or manager takes a very small percentage of your gross income so you are responsible for a majority of your portion of the pie. We've given you some wonderful tools in this website to help move your career forward on your own. Try some of them and if they work be sure your agent or manager knows about them.
