A lot of actors think that you only need to reach out to an agent once. They send their headshot and cover letter, and if they don’t hear back, they assume the agent passed on them.
But no answer really just means you have no information yet. You have no idea where your materials have ended up: with the agent, their assistant or in a stack of papers somewhere in between. And agents are extremely busy with their current roster of clients to focus on, so don’t assume that once is enough. In our final #SignWithAnAgent video, Acting and Career Coach Ethan Paulini offers his suggestions for second, third and fourth contact with potential agents, and when he thinks it’s time to add a manager to your team.

Signing with a new agent doesn’t mean that suddenly you can sit back and watch top-level bookings arrive on a silver platter. While a good agent should be advocating diligently for you out in the industry, they’re technically only required to get you an appointment that matches your professional experience once every 90 days.
That can mean a lot of downtime. So, do you just sit around and wait? No way! There are still important tasks that you need to be doing on a regular basis to provide your agent with the information they need to do their job. In this week’s #SignWithAnAgent video, Acting and Career Coach Ethan Paulini explains why an agent only makes 10% and what your responsibilities are once you’re signed to ensure a healthy, working relationship with your new representation. 
So now that you have your checklist of responsibilities, you may need some help putting a system in place to keep up with everything. Mention “Elise” when booking your first coaching session with Ethan, and you'll get the discounted price of just $20.17. It's a special deal just for our community.

In the search for new representation, it’s important to get to know who an agent is before you submit your materials to them. Yes, you can buy mailing labels for all the agents in town, but don’t let that fool you into thinking all the work is done for you.
If you’re not invested in learning about who an agent is, how can you expect them to invest in you and your acting career? Connecting with your potential agent as a person and not just a means to adding credits to your resume greatly increases your chances of landing a meeting and a contract. In this week’s #SignWithAnAgent video, Acting and Career Coach Ethan Paulini teaches you how to get super clear on what you’re looking for in a potential agent and how to target the specific ones that might be a right fit for you. You’ll also learn how you can utilize social media to create your first overture of reaching out.
