Saying Good-bye...
Peak Models & Talent is sorry to say that Rana Fisher, one of our wonderful models, sadly passed away this past weekend.
Rana Fisher has been with Peak Models & Talent for many years, and has always been a hard working, positive, bright light to everyone.
Rana was always upbeat and cheerful, and truly loved life. Rana left this life too soon, and she will be missed dearly.
We offer our sympathies to her family and loved ones, and feel that, we too, have suffered a great loss of a friend.
Rana Fisher 1979-2008

Bookings and more bookings!
Here we are in full swing this sunmer, and as much as everyone has been out of town, I am happy to report that those of you that stuck around are booking!
We have had a really busy month with several models booking bridal catalogs at great rates, one of our newer guys just booked the BRINKS SECURITY job, we had a nice lingerie catalog book, we sent several models to MIAMI for the annual swim show, and we have had over 25 models book print jobs in just a couple of days. We also booked the SIEMANS print job with one of our newer ladies which booked with a nice day rate and a hefty buy out. We have also been booking models for a pilot that if picked up could really help all the models that worked on the show. They have hired 4 - 6 girls per day!!! We have several models going out of town to VEGAS this month, we booked a major print campaign with another one of our guys working in Arizona. The client paid a great day rate and even threw in $500.00 worth of wardrobe for the model to keep! We have also of course been placing models with ongoing fit model positions as usual. The bottom line is that if you are missing out, it could be that you are not showing up for castings. Make sure to go to your castings, and email us new photos so we can send them out for you! We have been booking high end clients that only want reliable models that have strong books. Come in and get your portfolio if you are still running around with an old book or worse a binder!

Should we call you???
Ok, I have to say this because it seems to be a topic that comes up and I will address this once and for all. When you are sent to a casting, please do not call and ask what your chances of booking are in that job, we do not have a crystal ball. Also,please do not call and complain if you were not right either. If you walk into a casting and feel that you are too small, big, tall, short, wide, thin, tan, pale, square, round, pear shaped, etc. DO NOT CALL LOOKING TO BLAME YOUR AGENCY!!!!!
We cannot control what the clients decide, and yes it is frusterating, but we are on your side!!!!
How about this? The next time you do not book a job that I send you on, how about I call you and complain to you and say" Why didn't you book that job?" Why did I bother sending you if you cannot book? Of course I would never do that to any of you out of respect, and as your agency, we expect the same respect in return.
We are not intentionally looking to send you out to drive all over LA for nothing.
It is our intention that you book the jobs. So, the next time you get irritated that you did not book, just think about this, we want the best for you and your complaints only remind us that you might not be easy to deal with, which of course keeps us from feeling like we can count on you to book the next job.

Money Problems?
Ok, so in this economy it seems that with gas prices on the rise, models are being more careful about castings. This is NOT the time to be turning your nose up at jobs that might be booking at a lower rate. For those of you who find yourself with not enough money at the end of the month, you are exactly the person who should be getting out there and booking whatever you can! Some of you do not have any other sources of income, and for you to turn down jobs is surprising especially if you are not able to pay your rent. The reason I point this out is because people always wonder why they are always in the same financial place year after year. The answer is in you. The way you do business. The only way to change your finances is to change the way do business. When you turn down potential opportunitues, you turn down everything that comes with those new opportunities, including meeting new people and making new contacts. You decide your financial state, no one else.
It is time to start stepping up and booking your way out of debt. What have you done differently this year as opposed to last year that has dramatically improved your finances? Let me know!
