Invite

When you are working on something, invite the agents. If you are acting in a play or a photoshoot, let it be personal and professional; your outfit. Present yourself like a pro in the industry.

Be good because you never know they might take an interest in you. Treat every interaction with equal importance because it is like an interview.

Email
