... producers cite cold calling as the toughest aspect of their work. In other words, more than half of new producers are reluctant to carry out one of their most important tasks. You can assess a candidate's level of call reluctance through testing. With the knowledge gained, either hire people who don't have call reluctance or provide training to help those who need to overcome it. Train: Sales and technical training also increase the odds of success. The days of agencies training new producers on their own are long gone. Occasionally, an agency will succeed in this effort, but these are exceptions. Give your new producer a fighting chance by providing proper training. You can choose from a number of producer training schools. Manage proactively: Agency management often takes a reactive stance to producer development. ... other words, agency managers respond to new producers' problems, questions, and requests for assistance. That's fine, but if you interact proactively with new producers every day, they'll become more successful faster. Set goals together, monitor results, discuss progress, and role-play. There are many other steps you can take to increase their involvement with new producers and boost their chances for success. New-producer success is especially important for small agencies, because the cost of developing a new producer is fixed; in other words, the cost of developing a new producer, as a percentage of agency revenue, is far higher in small agencies than in large ones. So, it's all the more important that small agencies succeed in this effort. An extra $5 ,000 for training might make the ...

... twenties, getting together and creating a classic album? Without a doubt, Lady Luck was smiling on these people, but there's much more to it. Hard work and extreme talent are definitely key ingredients. Many agencies depend entirely on good fortune. Even though these agencies' futures require finding good, solid producers, they never perform extensive searches (if they search at all) and provide no technical, sales, or marketing training. They have no program for finding good producers and no method for growing their agencies without hiring competent producers. As a result, these agencies fail to grow and continually waste money on poor producers. Because hiring and training practices are so poor, I'd estimate that eight out of ten new producers fail to generate $200,000 in annual commission within five ... Although Lynyrd Skynyrd is now a classic rock radio station staple, their first album was avant garde. They combined country music stories, southern culture, rock, and a polished arrangement — including a great horn section — and a New York City producer. Their songs were very well written. The musicianship was phenomenal and the arrangements were unique for the time. All this from a bunch of high school dropouts and miscreants! They, of course, had worked hard for many years leading up to that historic first album. Yet, what are the chances of any nine poorly educated guys, all in their teens and twenties, getting together and creating a classic album? Without a doubt, Lady Luck was smiling on these people, but there's much more to it. Hard work and extreme ...
