Warming Up To Cold Calling
A huge part of being a marketing agent and attempting to find your clients endorsements and partnerships with companies is blindly calling brands, or utilising Ringless Voicemail, and hoping that they bite on your hook.

Book Review: The 4-Hour Workweek
After reading I’m Just a Kicker, I had said that I would drop my future as a successful sports agent to be an NFL kicker (if I had the leg to provide a decent salary). After reading The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss, I no longer want to be a kicker. It takes a lot […]
