It's Shockingly Easy to Misinterpret Your Agent’s Text
It is so easy to misinterpret an agent’s text. It took me a while to learn that it is impossible to really understand what an agent truly means in a text. They are swamped and sometimes need to send information out very quickly.
Typically, texts from agents are not personal notes. They are transactional. In this video, you will hear about a real example of where I got a text that I completely misinterpreted.
And, I break down the mindset agents are in when communicating with you. Watch the video to learn why you shouldn't read too much into the "tone" of their words.
Have you ever misinterpreted a text from an agent? If so, share your experience here so we can learn from you.
Great video, Aaron Marcus! I've misinterpreted texts from producers and directors before. I think "It's a text. They probably didn't mean it that way" instead of replying angrily when I misinterpret a text.

Yes, I have learned to take a breath and understand that this is just a transaction type of conversation and not a personal note. I liked how you are able to take a take a step back and think before responding. This took me a little while to learn. Thank you for sharing.

Aaron Marcus, this is so true, as I learnt some time ago involved in marketing and always endeavoring for betterment, getting into studying the psychological aspects and eventually research into Anthropology. Always wanted to have extensive discussions on the subject. Thanks for the posting, Will watch the video!
You're welcome, Aaron Marcus. Taking a step back to think before responding can really help creatives in different areas of the industry (networking, pitching, working on set, etc.).
