FAQs

Q: What services do you provide?

• First and foremost, I am your representative, so I would handle all negotiations with your current or future station and provide all the advice and counsel you need. In fact, I do everything a full-service agency does except search for jobs and submit your tape.

• Whether you have - or are close to getting - an offer at a new station or you're  preparing to re-sign at your current one, I can negotiate every aspect of your employment contract, including salary, vacation, outs, and other perks.

• If you already have a contract, but don't understand certain clauses or are concerned about the "legalese," I can review it and advise you of your rights.

• I'm also available to review the contract that you currently have or have been offered by a traditional agent or manager to make sure you understand the rights and obligations it creates.

• Finally, I'm always available for questions regarding your current job or the future of your career. I will critique your tape and give you honest feedback about where you've been, where you are, and where you're going. I will even look at your resume or advise you on packaging, cover letters, or references.

Q: How much do you charge?

• Unlike many agents, who may demand money up front and then expect 6-10% of your salary every month as long as you're working under a contract they negotiated - or even could have negotiated - I provide my services on an "a la carte" basis.

• Typically, I charge a flat fee for all the time I spend working on your behalf (the "Hourly Fee") as well as a small one-time fee based on the value of any contract I actually negotiate for you (the "Contract Fee")

• Best of all, these fees can be capped, depending on your salary and other factors, so that you know the maximum amount you'll have to pay before we start working together.

Q: Do you require a long-term commitment?

• No. After you pay me, you'll never owe me another dollar unless you retain me in the future to advise you about your current contract or negotiate a new one.

Q: How much time do you allow a client to pay?

• In most cases, the Hourly Fee is due within three (3) months of the date I finish working for you, while the Contract Fee is usually due within six (6) months of the effective date of a contract I negotiate on your behalf.

• I try to be very flexible, however, and I'll do my best to find a payment schedule to fit your needs.
