85. BONUS: Holiday Agent & Manager Gifts
Typically your reps would be swimming in cookies, candy, and bottles of booze they didn’t ask for right about now. And perhaps you have convinced yourself that your delivery of overpriced wine will be the thing that gets you auditions next year. 🤔 Gifts are a nice gesture, an acknowledgment of a year of hard work together, and yet they have become so stressful and almost “required”. Especially this year as we have all probably had way less auditions and probably less (maybe zero) bookings…do we still get reps gifts? Did we ever need them? What happens if we’re “the one client” who doesn’t send one?? Don’t worry, I asked them for you so it’s not awkward. Here are the questions I sent out to ~20 busy agents and managers, mine and a lot of yours!
How do you feel about holiday gifts this year?
Logistically speaking…if you’re not in the office how do you get them?
Would you notice if you didn’t receive them from clients?
If you could tell actors anything about gifting (like do’s or don’ts, things to avoid) what would it be?
