Mother agent
Mother agent has two principal functions:
1) Clients who use the World Client Search [ www.wcs800.com ] must contact your Mother agent.
- If there is no Mother Agent selected, the first agent listed will be the default.
2) The Mother agent has preference when you are submitted by multiple agents.
Over the years there have been many disputes between agents over talent. It happens when the same talent has been submitted by multiple agents for the same project. For example, a production company may contact 5-10 different agents by email requesting submissions for a specific gender, age range and skill. It frequently happens when casting directors, because the very nature of casting itself, contacts multiple agents and those agents submit the same multi-listed talent.
In an effort to prevent these types of problems, certain protections have been written into the system.
By default, the agent you originally purchased your 800Casting profile from, is your Mother Agent. Clients using the World Wide Search (WCS800) will have to contact that agent for bookings. If a client prints your profile, and you have established a Mother Agent, that agency information will appear below your default image.
In the cast of casting directors (not on our system) who have been submitted multi-listed talent, they must choose which agent to work with. This always causes problems with the other agent who submitted the same talent.
Agents and casting directors and other industry professionals who utilize our software for submission
are not able to submit the same talent for the same role. You may be linked to an unlimited number of agents.
This dramatically increases your exposure. When a project comes in from a client using our software,
the first agent who submits you is timestamped. The software is written in such a way that if a second agent
tries to submit you - they are blocked. On the other hand if the Mother Agent come along the next day and submits you -
the original timstampted agent is replaced. All TAS800 agents understand this! The casting directors understand this!
This is the important point to remember:
1) Clients who use the World Client Search [ www.wcs800.com ] must contact your Mother Agent.
2) If you have agents in different markets, very seldom (if ever) will the Mother Agent make a difference.
