The Chicago Talent Center -- Advantage to the Client

Advantage to the Client

As we said on the home page, there are distinct advantages in working with specialists. For one thing, we don't spend millions speculating with development deals and sitcom pilots the way the monster agencies do. And that means you don't have to pay for it. That's a nice thing. As in any business, lower overhead means lower prices.

And we don't represent or manage particular acts, hoping to ride their coat-tails to fabulous Hollywood payoffs. When we recommend an act it's not because we have a cozy business arrangement. It's because we happen to think he or she is exactly what you're looking for. The booking may not get us a movie deal, but it will give us a very happy customer and plenty of repeat business. You win, we win.

We don't deal with prima donnas. There are many wonderful acts out there -- it's a big country -- and life is too short to spend it dealing with neurotics. The acts we send you will be reliable, courteous, professional and highly skilled. Anyone who annoyed you would surely annoy us, too, and who needs the aggravation? Our entertainers won't insist that you pick the red M&Ms out of the candy dish, because rational adults don't care whether there is a candy dish.

So whether your show and your budget are large or small, and whether you're setting up a polite garden party or a raucous event in a beer garden, we expect to be able to provide you with exactly what you hoped for. We book strong shows, and we're proud to say so.
