"Your relationship with an agent has got to be mutually beneficial. If you can't help their careers, then they're not going to be interested"
- David Steinberg
About this Quote
This quote by David Steinberg stresses the value of a mutually advantageous relationship between a representative and their customer. It recommends that if a representative can not help their client's career, then the agent will not have an interest in dealing with them. This indicates that the client should have the ability to provide something of worth to the representative in order for the representative to be thinking about dealing with them. This could include supplying the agent with a steady stream of work, or assisting the representative to develop their reputation in the market. Ultimately, the quote recommends that both parties should gain from the relationship in order for it to be effective.
