Lack of unity is terrible, but the way I have set up Dynasty, with multiple divisions, makes it so that most indep. contractors can do their own thing without the need of other directors’ help. I am in touch with each director daily and each director has access to the interns. The system seems to be working just fine.

Actual agents get a strong backing with Dynasty. They can use our pre-existing marketing materials, our pre-existing track record with clients, the fact that they do not have to go through the formation of their own company (quite a pain/process), our fantastic leads system (they will procure their own clients, but I also provide a very strong pipeline), our high commissions granted, etc.

Look at previous posts for my analysis of J.D. vs. MBA. Too long for a comment.

I just realized that I asked you a ton of questions on SBEN.org about how things would work if I interned for you from NY. I guess this method is fine for interning, but if you have actual agents working with clients, what woudl be the incentive for them to associate themselves (and their clients) with Dynasty? Do you guys split revenue as in an LLP? Maybe my ignorance is stemmed from my lack of business knowledge.

Speaking of business, I was wondering what your stance is on obtaining a JD vs. an MBA, as it applies to working in the agent business. The question may be broad, but I’m a senior undergrad student contemplating both. I have no real desire to work in law outside of the legal aspects of representing athletes, so that kind of ruled out the JD for me. The MBA would probably prove more versatile for me, but I was wondering what the knowledge gained from each program can do to start or advance one’s career as an agent.

I was going to make a thread on SBEN, but there seems to be little traffic to the forum section there.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
