At NVE Agency, we believe that one of the most important connections in a model’s career is the relationship with their agent. A strong agent-model relationship can open doors, provide guidance, and help you reach your full potential in the industry. Here’s how to build and maintain a positive, professional bond with your agent:
1. Be Honest and Transparent
Always be open about your goals, schedule, availability, and even your challenges. Agents can only help you if they fully understand your situation and what you want from your modeling career.
2. Communicate Regularly
Keep your agent updated on new work, changes in your appearance (like haircut or weight), or any new skills you’ve picked up. A simple check-in now and then can go a long way in building trust and keeping your relationship strong.
3. Be Reliable and Professional
Show up on time, be prepared for castings or shoots, and always act professionally. Your agent is putting their reputation on the line when they recommend you. Being dependable makes you someone they’ll want to invest in.
4. Listen to Feedback
Agents have industry experience and want to help you grow. Accept constructive criticism with a positive attitude and use it to improve. It shows maturity and a willingness to develop your craft.
5. Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Questions
If you're unsure about a job, contract, or direction your career is heading, speak up! Asking thoughtful questions shows that you’re serious about your career and want to make informed decisions.
6. Respect Their Time
Agents are often busy managing multiple clients. Be respectful when reaching out and avoid unnecessary or repeated messages. Keep your communication clear and focused.
7. Treat It Like a Team Effort
Think of your relationship with your agent as a partnership. You both have the same goal: your success. When you work together, trust each other, and support one another, great things can happen.
Strong relationships are built on communication, respect, and trust. By showing professionalism, staying in touch, and being open to guidance, you’ll create a partnership that helps your modeling career grow.
