From my perspective, nothing 'inside' or official, but just like any industry...

If you're a newb, you need to establish yourself, gain contacts, etc. An agent is a good start.

Once you're established, like any other job, you have connections, you may be able to handle your bookings on your own.

However, if you're too big, you might need the assistance of someone else to handle your bookings - like an agent (back to square one), manager, suitcase pimp, etc.



Eric has the idea....

most newbies dont know where to go, what to do, how much what pays...etc, etc....etc.

Then in comes in the agent and helps this lass on her way to superslutdom.

But after a while people begin to recognize you...if you had the same phone number for more then 3 months....and answer your calls you may not need that leech taking 10-20 percent.....

but some people have no car, cant wake up on time, no fixed place to live....etc, etc....and they need a babysitter.

the two sides of the coin there....
