Agents...??

Question

How does having an Agent work exactly? You know like do you pay them regularly or do they just get a cut of what you make?

Answer 1

Since we are in the business/insurance category, I assume you mean insurance broker.

We are paid a commission for placing business with insurance companies, so it would be paid by them out of the total premiums you pay.

Answer 2

There are many different types of 'agents'. but for the most part, they get paid a certain percent of what you earn...generally 15%  It is in their best intrest to make sure you are working, so they promote you as best as they can.  If you make nothing, then they make nothing.  15% of 0=0

this applies to all types of agents,

Literary agent, a person who represents a writer

Theatrical agent

Booking agent

Sports agent, a professional who represents an athlete

Talent agent, a person who finds jobs for actors, models, and other people in various entertainment businesses.

Press agent, publicist who acts on behalf of a client on all matters involving public relations

If you are talking about travel or real estste agents, they get a commision based on what they sell. A press agent gets a regular salary, or a lump sum  if they are working for a short period of time.

I really don't understand your question.  Were you smoking weed when you asked the question?  Maybe I am high now and that's why I dont understand.
