If you are a writer, filmmaker, digital content creator, or producer, it's important to not only understand the role of a sales agent, but how to find, vet and hire the right one. This is a vital, yet extremely overlooked aspect that could make or break the viewership and profitability of your film or project.

In this challenging and competitive world of film and digital content finding the right sales agent is key. Understandably, many creatives, producers and digital content creators find venturing into the world of sales agents to be daunting. But it doesn't need to be!

There are few who know the world of sales agents better than Daisy Hamilton who is the Associate Director of Content Acquisitions at VIZIO and was recently the SVP of Acquisitions for TriCoast Worldwide who has been involved in acquiring over 100 packages and titles. In this exclusive Stage 32 Webinar, Daisy will give you all the tools to navigate the minefield of sales agents.

Just some of the questions Daisy will be answering include:

What does a sales agent actually do? Where do I go to find a sales agent? How do I know if a sales agent is reputable? What sales (pre-sales, theatrical, TV, Streaming, AVOD) can I expect from a Sales Agent? How can I navigate deal terms. What does a deal terms sheet look like? What is actually selling right now?

Let Daisy demystify the world of sales agents and help you protect the films, shows, and projects you worked so hard to conceive and create by getting your work seen and by increasing your likelihood of profitability!

PLUS! Daisy will walk you through a Deal Terms Sheet so you know what to look for in your own deal!
