📄 The Dealmakers Deal Sheets
The question I get asked more than any other is: What should I be asking for in this deal?
Acting agents negotiating their first podcast deal. Creator agents doing their first TV contract. Performers representing themselves with no idea where to start.
When you’re faced with negotiating a project for the first time, it’s almost impossible to know what information you need to consider.
That’s exactly why I’ve launched the Dealmakers Deal Sheets 🚀.
Easy-to-use templates for agents, managers or anyone who self-represents, built by me. This is the checklist I wish I’d had next to me when I started.
