The main function of a modeling agency is to establish business relationships with customers who require the services of the models of the Agency, and subcontracts these services model to pay a percentage of the price paid by the final customer. Access the job opportunities offered by agencies of models, is as easy as presenting a book and a composite (better if also attached a resume, if you have experience). The Agency, then, take into consideration the profile of the model for those customers that demand similar profiles. For this reason, models agencies usually organize casting of models in search of new talent, but so much better if the composite of the model is already contained in the files of the Agency. Good agencies will always work this way, in which the gain of the Agency is directly related to the amount of work that is able to bring to their models. In this ideal mode, is the agency that cares to get more better works.

However, there are agencies that provide other kinds of services such as school models and other services, to which the model should pay close attention, because they are payment services where a periodic fee must be paid to be listed on the stock exchange for the Agency’s work. This mode is only recommended in the case of agencies of recognised prestige that are really able to give in exchange for this fee. Unfortunately, there are many so-called agencies that offer these payment services but in fact do not acquire a real commitment to work with the model. Some agencies models provide a photographic service (photos of models) for the completion of a book. Many times the Agency will agree with the model the free realization of this book, in exchange for not charging anything for the first works that model performs at the Agency. Other times, the realization of a payment book is simply one service. Depending on the interest which gives rise to an agency model, this can offer you an exclusive contract, according to which model is committed to not work for other agencies, and not to make any work on their own.

These special contracts should report to the model sufficient advantages to make the signing of an exclusive account. This decision should be taken with care, and not without consultation with other agencies and weigh alternatives. As a general rule, the model will find all kinds of services that sometimes will not guarantee the realization of final papers. If these services are payment, the model should be considered warranties that are offered. The true service of a reliable and serious Agency, is which offers a percentage to the model for each of the works, without the payment of dues or anything. The professional model or not, finally, after all, is the worker that the Agency hoped for your business, therefore to treat him as best as possible.
