Certainly not $ first and foremost as you preach, voodoo. Do you have any kind of relationship with your clients, or does that only come AFTER they sign with you. That is why you need to see the kids play. It's all about a relationship. And building that from the start. Do you think all the negatives you've received on this thread are an indication of what maybe you are doing wrong?
If you really want to be successful, maybe you should listen to some prospective clients, and what they are looking for in an agent.
It's not all about being cocky and arrogant, and getting the last $ from the teams.
